What kills me about this is that Apple was all for supporting the IEC Micro-USB standard up to last year. Why the change?

There was a meeting. This dude from accounting raised his hands at the end of that meeting and said: "hey folks. you all have stock options that you want to appreciate to pay for your big homes in CA. right?" They all then came to their senses and went back to the proprietary connector that everyone has to license for $$$.

Haha! And probably pretty close to the truth as well! LOL!

I played with it yesterday, certainly an impressive device. Well done again. Hate the maps.

Nice editing job! Surely those iPhone fans in the know weren't fooled, but that wouldn't make for a good segment now would it?

I wouldn't call it a scientific study, it was for laugh but I bet you your iPhone against my Blackberry (and soon to be acquired iPhone 5) that a lot of people with the iPhone 4 would have had similar reaction, A testimony to the Apple brand loyalty and strength ...

I was teasing Frantz!

I dumped my iPhone 3G for a Galaxy Note a few months back and couldn't happier. And yes, the loyalty for the Apple brand is testimony indeed to the greatest marketing company in that business, and maybe others as well. I, for one, don't own any Sheep's clothing.

That was too funny Frantz

Thanks for finding that

Of all of the Late Night talk show hosts, IMO Jimmy Kimmel is rapidly becoming the best with Jimmy Fallon a close second

 

[amirm]

That was a riot Frantz. Thanks for posting it.

 

[audioguy]

Expectation bias for sure. But most audiophiles deny it exists for "their" listening/comparing/evaluating.

Thanks for posting, Frantz!!!

Interesting tidbit Bob. Any time I've dropped my iphone (and those times have been many) I've only incurred mild cosmetic damage and never broke the glass.

My son dropped his iphone coming down a roller coaster run and when it was recovered it was fully operational with no glass damage
