Apple: we should be praised, not punished

And besides someone else we know actually 'invented' the iPhone first:

HO, ho again... there's a big difference between predicting stuff as Ike did and actually inventing/producing it... unless, of course, it gives yet another dig at Apple... come on, let's have a proper go at Google now, after all we know that Big Brother is a mere beginner compared to Big Google...

Keep whining......you'll get there.

Keep your attacks up, you've passed being there to boredom on repetition... still if you don't know the difference between prediction and invention then I guess that puts everything else in context... and a statement isn't a whine just a simple comment for a simple reader or two...

Attacks? What attack? The only attack I see is your attack on me and my post. See this is exactly the type of whining that garners the results you get. As I said, you'll get there. Maybe once Apple is relegated to the scrap heap of dead technology companies those who were enthralled will see the light.

Hehe

And in terms of usable smartphones, both IBM and Nokia had working models before Apple.

And I believe it was Palm who developed the first handheld PDA that was truly usable for the masses.

Yep, I thought this interesting in the same way that Arthur C. Clarke 'invented' the communication satellite.

Perhaps a dead Apple will make you happy, goes with the dead dentist I guess... I suppose that posting the Huffington link was meant to be a favourable and encouraging comment - that was the attack I meant and it seems appropriate in relation to your ongoing love-fest with Apple followed by your personal attack on me for daring to comment on one of your posts in a none-favourable way...

I wasn't saying Apple invented everything if you read my few words (actually said "Invented/produced") and the real point was the incessant attacks on a company that has kick started a lot of things that people now take for granted - you don't have to invent something to be important in the field and Apple has repeatedly managed to make something mainstream that was previously not...

I don't believe in Apple to the exclusion of all else either, I use Android, iOS, Windows and linux base devices according to what I NEED from that device rather than having a fixed animus (or love) to anything relating to a given company... and, if it means having your attitudes and prejudices, then I guarantee that I will never "get there" whatever you mean by that...
