Yes it is cool, and yes there are (at the writing moment) 3 billion applications. But still:
When you need to replace a battery you have to send it away.
When you need to upgrade software, you are locked to iTunes.
But that’s not the only reason: I am kinda sick of a company that is so focused on locking their users.
The other day I found a videoarticle from Dagens Næringsliv. They had made a story on the release of the second generation iPhone. Since Steve Jobs couldn’t come to Norway, Apple had sent the local market people to present the product.
But could the journalist and the video photographer show the Apple employees face? No!
That’s taking security and such far!
I mean: It is a good idea to have full control on your hardware by creating the software for it. But journalistic restrictions… come on guys. Be transparent!
I’ll stick to my Android phone from now on. And I am more or less putting my 30gb iPod 4gen or was it 5th gen, can’t remember to rest. It is a great piece of hardware and software, but I have lost so many phonecalls thanks to it
