@moothemagiccow: You didn't really think it through. A primarily text-based medium is generally "better" when that text is more legible... n'est pas?

@Les Mikesell: It just depends on how much the charge is for me. I use ZumoDrive to have access to my ~80GB music collection everywhere, and I am considering MobileMe to do the same for my contacts and calendar events. A service combining both would definitely be worth $20/month to me (I have a PC, Mac, iPhone and…

@Les Mikesell: It continues to work for 99% of people but Android owners will rant about it on gadget blogs anyway. ;)

@kylecpcs: What if you bought a car and had no problems with it?

@kylecpcs: Second thread I've seen your name in whining about the iPhone 4 you clearly don't own. You don't want one, we get it.

@kylecpcs: Nice catch, Blanco Niño.

@ddhboy: Verizon don't have to pay Apple directly. A guaranteed slice of the subs and permission to build the phone they way they want to build it is apparently all it took for Cingular to get Apple.

@ExtraDas: I'm glad someone finally made a phone you could make phone calls on, those thousands of other devices spanning decades never achieved it right? :D

@8oardR1der: Until Sunday night, by which time they had sold more than 1.7 million iPhone 4s, there hadn't been a single ad for the iPhone 4 on TV. True story.

It's great for us, but what about advertisers? Will they see this as a slap in the face and stop pumping money into YouTube?

I will buy a book from whoever sells it cheapest - Amazon or Apple. My loyalties run no deeper than that, both apps are perfectly usable to me.

@Eruanno: It's how supply and demand has worked for hundreds of years. I am yet to hear of a company that sells products for little more than they cost to produce.

@Almightywhacko: This hits the nail on the head.

@cec: I am one of those satisfied iPhone 4 owners, and I agree with you.

Buzz and Wave proved to me that Google should steer clear of anything remotely warm and fuzzy in terms of web services. They just don't get human beings, but they can write algorithms till the cows come home.

@AceJokes: You clearly don't go past my local Jewel-Osco very often.

So brand loyalty is cult-like? Everyone exhibits brand loyalty in every aspect of their life every day. If you like something, you will usually gravitate towards the same brand when you replace it... whether that's a pair of jeans, a cup of coffee, a loaf of bread or, yes, a smart phone.

@tuanster1119: More like "It just works... for most people." I am on my fourth launch period Apple product without a single issue, I feel bad for everyone with these problems but they are not universal.

@doggo: Harder != tougher.
