I boycott Apple things. They pollute, with serious toxins. How many of you will send your toy in to Apple to have them change the battery for you, especially since you have to PAY for sending it to them and back to you? Most of those Apple toys will end up as land-fill fodder. Calling the i-phone "the best phone" is totally ridiculous. What is a phone? An instrument to *speak to another person*. A phone is not; a calculator, a camera, a memopad, an agenda, a music player, a radio, a television or a book. I always laugh when I buy a new cell-phone and the clerk points out that it has a ##megapixel camera. I reach behind my back and place my D2x on the counter and ask them; "why should I care?". Besides, then I'd have to explain to that person that no matter how many Mp the 'camera' has, the sensor is so small that the image will be horrendously noisy no matter what! Speaking of cameras, none of the professional dSLRs have video mode, they are CAMERAS, not videocams... Convergence has limits, this you find out when you have a television set that has VCR integrated, when one fails, you're left without both. I want my phone to be just that, a phone. I want my camera to be a camera and my computers to be computers and not have any integrated DRM which is another way of controlling who, what, when and where YOU can do this or that. I also want to be able to replace the battery of my little thinghies myself, not have to mail it in and wait for a week or two to have it returned to me Imagine if your camera was like that. . .
