Why I'm Mad @ Apple (You Heard Right)

First of all, let me just thank my adoring fan, love to you babes. Second of all, please note that I won't be capitalizing my ''I's" because my keyboard hates when I do more then one thing with my hands.

Now onward with the subject...

Why I'm Mad @ Apple:
Ever since i used my first Mac (about two or three years ago) i feel in love. The ease of use, the simplicity of the whole Operating System (OS), the security, the pretty screen effects, and all the helpful (little) things that Windows lacks. But my beef isn't with Mac OS X, it's with the water down version that is known as iPhone OS X.

The iPhone's selling point was that you could have your phone AND your music all in the same place. The iPod Touch's selling point was that you could have the revolutionary touch screen as well as the portable OS X inside the iPhone. This is why i bought it. I could balance ingenuity, sexiness (of an Apple product), and the ability to touch my sweet music. But now, Apple has hurt my music, and that hurts me

Apple, my dear friend, you've lost focus on what gave you the fame and fortune, not the iMac, but the iPod. It was a portable music device only compatible with Macs, that could only use IEEE 1394 Firewire 400 because USB 1.0 was ridiculously slow. It was the "super small" hard drive that powered it and the ability to charge as you sync. The power to listen to your music, view the artwork, buy the whole album via iTunes. And most of all, it's when you switched over to Windows and let USB 2.0 have a chance, that's when you really hit it off. You went big, really big, so big you now own the PMP market. Unfair? Not at all.

The problem with Apple is that they lost focus on what made them famous (and i'm not talking about Macs) I'm talking about music. Apple is more focused on Apps and Ringtones and threaded text messages and still not having landscape texting. Completely losing what made them stand out from the others, it's what made their PMP stick out from Nokia's and Sony's. But now it's some apps, with some mmmmmmmmmmuuuu muuuu...........

sorry, my iPod started to skip, then it decided to crash too.

What i loved about iPods is that they loved music, and that's what i love too. But there so busy trying to get the smartphone market that they still can't make an intuitive shuffle feature, they're more focused on sticking to their Nazi Germany guidelines that offer no rhyme or reason for neglecting good apps. But you can buy dozens upon dozens of Flashlight Apps.

Foolish Apple, tsk tsk tsk...


Bring back what we love, What I loved. Bring back the old Apple

Wow this is very powerful.

Kudos to you Concerned Fanboy

Before I read this, I thought nothing of all the apps and iphone uproar. I thought it was pretty cool actually but this article hit home and you're right. Apple needs to bring music back!
