Waiting for the apple haters to jump on pre...
like they did to the iphone.

I've read a lot of Pre reviews and everyone agrees; useless keyboard,
no auto correction or completion, inconsistent interface, and poor
battery life.

The apple haters jumped all over the iphone for its supposedly 'poor'
battery life, even though it was proven to have the longest lasting
battery among similar smartphones.

They jumped on the iPhone because it didn't have a 'real' keyboard.
Click on the link for Andy's review and he explains how a 'real'
keyboard cannot make up for apple's virtual one.

I had to laugh when you said the Pre had '30 apps' and you were
happy with that! When the iPhone came out the apple haters laughed
and bragged that their WinMo phones had thousands of apps.

Who's laughing now? The new iPhone has vga video capture and
editing, magnetometer, 3d graphics, 50,000 apps, etc, etc,

and it brings in the features that apple haters were always pointing at;
longer battery life, copy and paste, etc.

Where is the Zdnet article now that talks about the great iPhone
features? You won't see it here, folks.

Zdnet is still a PC centric site that will do all it can to denigrate apple
no matter how advanced or better its products are. And most of the
posters here are still the microsoft loving dinosaurs of tech.

Thank God most young people now in schools and colleges are
choosing Apple computers, in ten years, it will be those people
running IT departments and we're going to see a sea of change. An
microsoft certified certificate won't be worth the paper its written on!
