  • apple power cd.

  • OS X Lion is a failure.

  • Apple's biggest mistake was and still is their tight policing of software that is released on their devices. The openness of Windows to developers is what allowed Microsoft to overtake Apple very quickly in the market when both operating systems were new.

  • @spikeman14 Sorry about my rage. I hav outgrown Dells, and my favs are HP, Compaq, Apple, and Legacy Macs (powerbook 100, mac plus).

  • cheap macs, like £250 :P

  • Almost all of your comments were wrong. The prices must have come from the original MSRP which often dropped at release. PDA's were not rated based on if they fit in your pocket as they are now. The weight and size of the batteries was then, as is now, based on what was available. Even the iPhone was way over priced when it first came out. Apple also was not the first to come out with a portable device. Portable meaning you could take it out of your home, not carry it in your hand like now.

  • iTune, failed big time. File transfer

  • I know Apple products are awesome and stuff, but still, hey, the PRICE of the products is what I don't like. Now, not many people here live in Croatia, or are as tight with money as I am, but they know that Apple products are VERY expensive here. Just that's what I would say about Apple disadvartages. At the moment I'm saving money to buy myself an iMac. Looking forward to it.

  • the new Ipod nano xD
