Amen Beebelbrox and Kettle - I think the iPhone argument is one of the best Dvorak has made.
There was pretty much a void of quality equipment and choice when the iPod came out, I think it was just a combination of usability and timing that made it a success. But if you look at the cellphone industry and the number of massive companies with billions of dollars invested, it won't be so easy for them to waltz in and make millions.
Especially considering a price tag around $US500 on a contract. I don't know about you, but that's a lot of money to splash out on a phone for me...
I think my Sony Ericsson is doing just fine!
I just have to weigh in with my two cents...
I have to agree, even as a long time mac user, iPhoto still isn't what I want it to be, and in general Picasa has more to offer.
I think the interesting point that you raise is why Apple didn't support Picasa instead of the Adobe apps? I'm all for a Picasa mac port - heres hoping!
We're sheep because we don't follow everything Apple does? I don't exactly follow your logic there...
People are entitled to whatever opinions they like, and I don't care what Sandisk or Apple do, I just don't think people should have double standards which in essence is what it feels like to me.
I signed up to Appple Matters just to agree with your column! I love Apple as much as anyone, and I'm always spouting the virtues of Macs, but, I don't think its fair to moan when people have a go at Apple considering they knock everyone else when it suits them! (remember the outburst about integrated graphics?
Good on you for keeping it real!
