oh hell no, I am fine being on the darker side. Just because you don't know how to fully use a product doesn't mean that you should label it "poorly designed", there have been many "poorly designed" products that if used properly can be quite useful. The last thing I would do is pay for some close ended product that gives you little control over fixing yourself. And how exactly are they "cutting edge"? their Cinema displays previously were made by LG philips who also supplied Dell, there was a time when the same competing displays were priced $850 for Apple and $350 for Dell, for the same screen. My basic point is that Apple is just pointing lipstick on an expensive pig. And by the way the majority of computer users (pc and mac) do the same thing.... email, surfing, listening to music, movies which doesn't require a $1000+ device, so I don't share your sentiment implying that Apple is better. Most people keep their computers for 3-4 years, in that span of time I did the same things as you for half the price. Come on I am sure you have better ways of spending your money.

Ok I get it that people like Apple, but this is ridiculous, I see absolutely no value in this. We make fun of Sony going the proprietary route but somehow Apple gets a pass? If the situation was reversed and lets say a company like Coby or Emerson came out with a product like this, then they would be severely ridiculed and for good reason, starting with the fact that headphones do become faulty, much more so than the actual device. So why would you want all the sole controls for the device placed on the headphones? I mean really does that make any sense? Not to mention that Ipod headphones are never anything high end. I sometimes think that Apple puts out low end products to see how many people eat them up blindly. Apple is wishing that you would loose your headphones or damage them, because everyone knows where you would have to go to get new ones. btw, I am not anti-apple I praised the ipod touch for what it was worth, i am just anti-stupidity.

Its justified to criticize Sony for using Memory sticks, but to be fair I'm glad that we have reached a time where a 4 gig stick online costs less than $30. The funny thing is that some Sony digital cameras actually use Compact flash.

I hope Garmin goes far with this device, I have a Garmin Navigator which is a must have for the amount of driving that I do. Its amazing to witness something that surrounds us nowadays, which is convergence... Navigator, Phone, Camera, (Mp3?), Browser. The only thing missing now is a garage door opener icon. I also hope that Garmin goes broad with signing carriers, and not just locks down to one.
