Oh and if there wasn't any demand for an SD/Micro SD slot then why did Apple create and have a 4 week backlog from demand of the camera kit?

look we both know we could get a 32gb microSD at newegg or whever for around $40 or whatever the price is. the average joe who doesn't even know WHAT newegg is who purchases an iphone, they would go to best buy or whever and see a 4gb microSD card for $40.

Are you an average Joe?

I have the Penicillin for your Apple disease - buy 3 pairs of Diesel Jeans.

i'm not the one posting ridiculous shit, i'm just responding to it.

'microsd is useless because apple doesn't use it' is a pretty fucking retarded statement. what he meant to say 'microsd is useless TO ME because APPLE has deemed it so, and i'm happy paying a 400%+ price premium in order to be told this.' i don't see how you can be any more of mindless fanboy.

i see you fail at reading, no point in responding to you anymore as i see you are flat out trolling now.

no i'm not, i do research and pick what items meet my needs best, and go from there. and from my useage habits, i know that being able to expand the storage on my phone had no bearing on my decision to go one way or the other since it is a feature i have no interest in.

Once again displaying your bias and ignorance. WTF dude?

And how about mp3's which typically cost 30% more on itunes than amazon. Of course if you want to keep paying the apple tax, it's you prerogative.

And you can buy tracks on Amazon and put them on your iPhone.

Apple doing so well must really piss you guys off :cool:

Hold onto your shorts, folks, it's going to get a lot worse... Apple sold a shit ton of products this last quarter, and it's only going to snowball.

The iPhone 4s, panned by the press & bloggers:

Link to comparable notebook for $700 please.

doesn't exist...none of them have the apple logo.

if you loosened your strictest of standards to include things without the apple logo, and still can't find a better laptop for less, perhaps you should phone your mother and make sure she adequately pins your mittens to your jacket this year. and wear a warm hat before you risk losing more brain cells.

I used to be a hater. Apple first got me with the iPod Nano, then the iPhone. We now have 3 MBP, 1 MBA, 4 iPhones and a few iPads in the household. We had countless Windows machines before Macs, but they all broke down within 2-3 years of use (laptops). The upfront cost of owning a Mac is high compare to a Windows solution, but the Macs usually last longer, the software on Macs are usually cheaper, and you don't have to spends hours tinkering and supporting your machines.

We had a bunch of Dells and none of them felt as satisfying to use as a Mac. I don't mind paying for a quality products, and that's exactly how Macs feel like. Overall, the family is happy, and that is priceless in my opinion.

LOL, I was likely building Wintel PC's before you were born.

Where's that Dell Adamo? Hmmm, killed and overpriced, HP Envy? killed and overpriced.

There'll be a ton of knock offs soon, but Apple raised the bar for the other manufacturers with the MBA.

Just like it did with quite a few other products.

One of the theories about why Apple products are hated so much is that the "tech gurus" suddenly lose their status when products like the iPad and MBA's become popular.

I've made almost $150K on Apple stock so far, and I'm loving the drama. And there's more to come as the unwashed masses continue to buy Apple products.

No. Unfortunately my daughters do, and as a motivator for good behavior iTunes points work well.

But you can't buy amazon tracks through your iphone, because apple controls the app store.

Congrats on your apple pride though. You must be a shareholder, I don't know another reason why someone could be so infatuated with a corporation.

answers some questions doesn't it. lol. Bias'ism is a disease.

The best part is that I've had every version of Android since 1.6 and own(ed) nearly a dozen Android OS'd phones. Am currently using a rooted ThunderBolt, but have a used Verizon iPhone 4 coming next week, wil likely use it till the iP5 comes out next year. Android's an awesome OS, have a Kindle Fire and a Kindle Touch pre-ordered, and use a rooted/rommed nook color too, along with a couple of iPads, one with a grandfathered unlimited data plan, although I have the sim card in a modded iP4 for AT&T.

I love being labeled as an Apple fanboy, and I honestly get a kick out of all the hate, it's like watching idiots argue over brands of crescent wrenches.

What brand of crescent wrenches do you like, kev and system mechanic?

I like the original myself.

Do you have any preferences of brands of hammers? I think my favorite is a 20 oz Plumb with a fiberglass handle.

Dumb asses, LOL.

Being a parent, the Apple/Windows/Android fans are like listening to children fight in the back seat of the car over who touched who last.

"Mooooommm, that Apple phone touched me across the imaginary line you drew in the car......" LULZ...

I paid off my mortgage with earnings from Apple stock. :cool: I don't "like" Apple, I fucking love Apple.

I think it's funny that people can't express a negative opinion about a company without you getting all butthurt because you heart that company. FYI I have an iphone. That doesn't mean I'm in love with everything about Apple. They have flaws like every other company. Apple douches such as yourself are unable to see that.

Now why don't you go look at apple's earnings statement and fellate yourself.

LOL, the truth comes out...

And you and I both realize Apple does what virtually every other company does/would do if it can/could.

The new quarterly earnings will be out after market close the 18th. :wub:

Thanks for your support :thumbsup:

BTW, Monoprice has some great prices on accessories for the iPhone, I don't buy Apple accessories unless I have no other options.
