Price, 28 Jun 2008Mac products are over priced? Are you blind? What are you comparing them too—something built b... moreFirst, Apple claims that they are selling the Iphone for $199 but if you do a simple calculation you will notice that you are paying much more. Here is how: first you have to pay $36 dollars activation fee .Then your monthly data subscription for the Iphone is 10 dollars more than what you pay if you have another phone with the same carrier so with 24 months contract with att that’s 240 dollars extra which means that you are technically paying $476 + 2 years contract just to get an Iphone. Come on people do not let apple fools you.
Second, I don't know why I should buy a macbook for $1300 if I can buy a PC with butter specifications for half the price. PC doesn’t require maintenance like people think I use my PC without antivirus software and I don't have any problems, why? because I browse the internet responsibly I don't go to xxx websites which is full of viruses and on the hand you can get a free antivirus software just to be on the safe side like AVG ANTIVIRUS so basically you are not spending an extra money on a PC it is just what apple is trying to advertise that PC is full of viruses so they can sell their over priced products.

Wes, 28 Jun 2008Well unfortunatly I think that you are the blind person. Apple product are overpriced. i will ... moreFurthermore, it's quite interesting you have used the argument of price and not quality, service, or customer satisfaction. I maintain, in the end, Apple products, including the iPhone, are not overpriced.
Apple, I would imagine, has priced their products as to what the market would bear. And, from what I've seen lately, they are on the rise—unlike Windows OS (which includes Windows Mobile and the havoc it reeks in phones).
So, don't get one, and spend half your life with tech support, calling your friends for help, or looking online for help solving your PC issue.

That's what I thought!
Your fallacy is to compare dissimilar products. Try comparing Sony, Toshiba, Fujitsu with the same specs as an Apple.

Have you seen the price of a Sony Vaio and XPERIA? They are 3,200 and 1,100—respectively!
Get Mac stuff! The peaceful experience alone is worth any extra cost. They are totally stable; and have few adverse technical or maintenance issues. You'll pay more with a PC and Windows Mobile Phones because you'll need a billion dollars worth of anti virus and spyware, constant maintenance, and therapy.

You can get better it... moreYankee Group says 8 in 10 businesses now using Macs
After surveying “more than 700 senior IT administrators” and executives, Yankee Group Research Inc found that “nearly 80% of businesses have Macs in-house, nearly double the percentage that said they had users running Mac OS X two years ago,” reports Gregg Keizer (computerworld.com).

The new iPhone3G is awesome no doubt, I'm dazzled by its beauty and functionality, but until Apple addresses the bluetooth, ringtones and megapixel cam issues it will never truly be on top of the game. I still love it though. Brilliant little device! Can't wait till mine arrives.

Anonymous, 28 Jun 2008hi guys, anyone knows that iphone 3G has front camera for video calls?Have you ever read George Orwell's novel "1984?" If so, you'll understand what I mean when I say your question is plus plus dumb. ;) Do you know how I know you'll not be offended? Simple. If you're too lazy to read the posts or specs, you'll certainly not read our replies to your brilliant, thought provoking question.

Andy, 28 Jun 2008http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CW2Y4Rv13UsWow, that was really hilarious.
Now, after I laughed and wiped the tears from my eyes I thought, "Hmm, but I still like the iPhone!" I guess I'm just funny that way.

Anonymous, 28 Jun 2008hi guys, anyone knows that iphone 3G has front camera for video calls?Raise your hands people (it's good exercise to get your hands off your mouse) if you have seen many people—if any—make a video call. Raise your other hand if you've received one. Personally, I've never seen this—and I live in a major city.
Call me naive, but, where are you people making these video calls to? To who? To where? Another phone? Another computer? Again, most people I know don't even have a 3G phone—let alone use video calling.

And the OS? Haven't you realized it's just Windows Mobile dressed up to look pretty? Who is going to be around to tech support this thing when it's crashing or locking up during calls?
And a few more things:
Show us where any carrier in the US carries it—or even supports it.
Who will insure it.
What is the price the average consumer would pay?
Will the cost of operating (feature for feature) be less than an iPhone 3G?
It this is such an awesome phone, why are they not being sold in droves like the iPhone?
Now, why is it so great again.
