      most valuable? its a bit of a joke. certainly isn't real value, its for speculants. ull see one day how much your iphone lets say 'iphone23' is worth if you hungry. i mean really hungry. i like gadgets but i think people forgotten what is really important!

          The Boy with Red Hat, 11 Aug 2011Haters can say whatever they want... But Apple know how ... moreTruth be told, Apple thrives on making people believe they are purchasing and becoming part of something exclusive... different that everybody wants, but only a few can get!

          But if you think about it, there is nothing really exclusive about a phone that sells by the millions and that just about anybody can get!

          Apple is just like Maybeline... they sell an idea; an image; something to show and flash! They feed on people's egos and probably inferiority complexes!

          Good job, steve... wait, screw that! All kudos go to Apple's marketing department!!!

              The Boy with Red Hat, 11 Aug 2011Let's see people react with iPhone 5 Besides.....I didn'... moreLOL! The iphone 4 was available in the US since day 1 that's why a lot of handsets were sold in 1 week. SGS2 on the other hand is still not released in US. That gave Apple a pretty big advantage.

                  I Dont Care... If Apple is the biggest phone manufacturer in the world, how come an ordinary (I mean low-income individuals) citizen still cant afford iPhone. I would rather use nokia. Nokia is still the phone of the public.

                    The Boy with Red Hat, 11 Aug 2011Let's see people react with iPhone 5 Besides.....I didn'... morelol, there is a long line of people when samsung released it's Galaxy sII phone here in my country (indonesia), and many of them came home empty handed.. but that doesn't happen world wide, i know..

                    and as far as i know, there is no line whatsoever for apple iphone 4 here.. there isn't even any launching here.. it's just available on the market that day, and there is no big fuss about it, just some carrier that suddenly promoting it while it's been out there for months.. that because iphone is still not that famous here back then, but when iphone 5 released i'm sure it's gonna be big.. :)

                      I like my iP4, and I like my Desire S too. I just don't get it why hate a product that's all been great.

                      iP4 is still a great piece of kit.

                        Besides.....I didn't see any file or line of people trying to "buy" Samsung phones like Apples...

                        Or did you see one already? hehehehe

                        Even SG2 didn't break iPhone 4 sales record, iPhone 4 has in just 1 weeek the record Samsung needs in 2 months....AMAZING

                              But Apple know how to play his game...

                              Even Android with too many manufacturers on their side can't beat Apple profits..Not Samsung, Not, LG, Not Motorola, Not HTC.

                              They way Jobs resurrect an almost difunct company and transform in what is today is JUST AMAZING...

                              There is no other suceed history like Apples History...

                              So, pople that heate Apple will be more angry...But that the suceeds cost between people, no one like the suceed of others...no one.

                                What is wrong with you people so what if loads of people like
                                Apple products. you lot are just bitter sour if you hate Apple so much avoid that part of the tech news. I dont own an Apple product but even i have to confess that this company has done something right that would make people que for their products. i am not going to buy one but does it really matter their is space for all

                                    That is not surprising with all the big money apple take from apple fans

                                      Good to see that Americans know their tech! iPad:- No flash player, no multi-tasking, VGA Camera! iPhone:- Overpriced, no bluetooth file transfer, no memory card support, no free music, poor multi-tasking!
