Any manufacturer that doesn't think it's necessary is sure to piss its customer base off. With customer expectations the way they are today, that's not such a great idea. What if Apple changed the internals of their iPhone with no updates to model names or model numbers. Let's say that these new iPhones would only update and sync using the new iTunes 11 and give mysterious failure messages when they failed to update and sync. And let's say that they didn't put anything in their documentation to indicate this fact and left it up to their loyal customers to discover this and figure it out for themselves. You don't think that the customer base would become indignant? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97331 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
