@Slinkytech: You should read the comment above... Not so much a big / small business "fucking", but more of a national / international business ..

@Kai Kadgien: I concur... I remember when the first 1GB had drive came out... my dad and I looked at each other in wonderment of how someone would fill that!?

The current generation always has a way to make old tech pretty cool.

@RuckingFetard: "We're not talking about old phones running 1.6, we are talking about brand new devices stuck on 1.6 that will never be upgraded ..." - that doesn't make much sense to me... how may phones out there have hit a limit as to what they can do? Does every manufacturer need to take in account all the new…

@John Crane: Bingo!

@Mactopia: I agree, so on the business side it makes you more money and you have less to worry about, at the same time giving your customers only what you want them to have. Awesome. That's why you see the green line in the image two posts up doing what it is doing.

@Hello Mister Walrus: I agree... go Apple, and you get one phone selection one OS, go Android and you have options for what either suits your needs or what you feel more comfortable with.

@DrGonzho: Your example is kind of mis-leading as to what some might customize on their phone. It would be more of the equivalent of adding a cold air intake, cat back exhaust, or custom computer.

When the housing industry went to the crapper and I had to close the doors on my prospering home improvement business... did I go crying about "The Banks... The Banks..." no... You what life has dealt you and move on. You adapt. Did the music…

Don't like the smell of cat litter? don't own a cat.

@MagicalTrev: I'm not really sure if I can remember that last time I saw an ad for an iPhone.

hehe... all these techies out here and they don't seem to get that what they are trying to convey is that WP7 will do what you want it to do but easier and faster. Because of that you don't have to walk around aimlessly staring at your phone getting things done. It may just be more aimed towards people that have…

@badasscat: At first, I read "badasscat" as asshat... just sayin' is all.

I think I remember seeing this close to 4 years ago.

@Canoehead: lol

@virgil.ierubino: My thoughts exactly.

@Hilo: I concur.

@odysseus: "provided by the government out of the general taxes" that means you pay for it, too... it's not free - you just don't have a choice in the matter.
