tbqh, the problem resides squarely in over expansion. in the last few years the apple user base has swelled by millions. probably triple digit expansion in a very short time. this cause all sorts of quality issues to crop up. first nipping at the edges and then making its way to the core. i passed on the first gen iphone and my sister and i picked up the 3g on a family plan. all in all it is functional but not by much. the problem with the iphone is that its a computer that also makes phone calls. cause , uh, thats what apple knows how to do. its not a nokia or some such that is a phone that also does some computing. as a loyalist im willing to give apple the benefit of the doubt. but now permanently. they need to up their game and be more communicative. also, the quality on the macbooks/imacs is degrading. hard drive failures and all sorts of blow outs. they need to get their manufacturers in check. i really hope apple takes their sweet time with snow leopard and doesnt deliver it half baked.
