I understand this, but field tests come with certain risks. Such as for example, testing new iPhone reception in a beer garden, ascertaining whether new GUI is usable for people under the influence of alcoholic beverages, etc
Joking aside, them's the breaks Apple. They shouldn't be getting all shirty when things don't pan out exactly as Mr Jobs (a.k.a Mr Perfection) planned.
This is bad publicity for Apple. I for one like to have a nice and cosy feeling about the company I am buying a product from. Of course I realise that all Big Corporations are in essence the same, but they do not need to rub it into our faces.
