I read about this yesterday, So. Yet another reason for myself to make it harder and harder to separate Microsoft from Apple these days, Steve Jobs fashion icons may have a degree of social panache, but imho you can get better video quality out of other devices and the same goes for sound on their mp3/4 players and as to the iPhone well for one I want to change my own battery without sending the thing away, and now in freedom of use may well be down to Apple, not you, also its been said iPhone security is not good so many business's have kept well away from it :shake:

Love or hate Apple, that is where they score so highly with their products  ;)

It may well be the only thing, but at least they got that right  :)

I agree, Mad. In design terms, they truly are iconic.

In terms of freeing us from the constraints of Microsoft products, well that's just truly ironic ;)
