    [deleted post]I can spell correctly!

    "Smartphones will always be expensive because of the technology used." That's not entirely true - the tech, while often deserving of the prefix "hi-", isn't as expensive as some handsets would imply. We need to face the fact that an important chunk (an ever-increasing one at that, in my humble opinion) of what we pay for a smartphone these days, is brand image.

    Apple is the best at selling that brand image: they can afford to tack on the largest sum of any company just for their name. Whether that "good" or "bad", that's that polarizing discussion again...

      AnonD-302, 25 Aug 2011 That has to be the most ignorant comment from a iZombie e... moreI see that you have done some research but you should have gone further. Steve Jobs is the founder of Apple. He started this small company n from there he made it one of the major companies in the world. Then he hired Pepsi CEO John Schully who later opposed Steve Jobs because he was too young to make decisions. Finally the board of directors of Apple decided to kick Jobs out of Apple. After Jobs left the quality of Apple dropped drastically n Jobs opened NEXT. Schully still regrets saying Jobs was right n I was wrong. I destroyed everything he did in 10years n also took the world backward. Steve came back n joined the almost doomed Apple again in 1998 n brought it to its current position much like a hero.

      What's with the OS? I'm talking about GUI. Graphical User Interface. Without GUI using your personal computer like you do won't have been possible. People had to go through months of courses to learn how to carry out simple tasks in computer.

      hahahaha....what is macintosh?? It's the name given to the computers made by Apple!

      Mouse was already there but they didn't look anything like the mouse you use today. Apple Inc made the first mouse which we're still using.

      p2p share or other sources for downloading music are illegal. You can be behind the bars for that. In iTunes people pay 99 cents buy a song n these is approved by the album companies.

      LG claims that iPhone is a copy of their prada n Apple claims prada is a copy of iPhone. Whatever it is, I would still go with Apple because their products are durable. A LG phone can hardly last a year. If they are so innovative then why can't they innovate more things? Apple is innovating all the time.


      From the way you are using your PC to the way you are listening to the music to the way you are using your cellphone everywhere there are influences of Apple either directly or indirectly. You may hate Steve Jobs but respect the man as he deserves it.

          simple user, 25 Aug 2011dear, that's what Mr Steve Jobs do with people - make them ... moreI'm comparing Steve Job's achievement n talent with the people who are saying BS about him. Like him or hate him you gotta give the man the respect that he deserves. Can these people even achieve a fraction of what steve jobs has done in his life?

                Every news item about Apple/Steve Jobs is so quickly polarized... It's all black or white without any middle ground.

                One day I'll invent a machine that draws energy from these discussions, and it'll usher in an era of endless wealth and peace for everyone. Kind of like Steve Jobs envisioned with his computers back in his garage in the seventies, but, you know, real.

                        Elop should follow Jobs example and appoint Marko Ahtisaari as CEO of Nokia.

                                      All over the world there are articles about Steve Jobs as one of the greatest visionaires and geniuses of our age... it's sad that you are a genius when you are using people's stupidity.

                                      Jobs "enriched" technological world by introducing fart apps and "inventing" totally irrelevant eye-candy stuff that people like to play with and become more stupid in the process.

                                      The real geniuses are among those who you never heard of.

                                        - there is no pc manufacturer called Macintosh.
                                        - IBM did not invented computer mouse.
