Before Apple make any more products...
...they should really make a mobile phone.

Because I own their latest attempt at one. It's like a computer with a 3G modem.

For the last 8 years, I've been able to initiate calls using my handsfree while driving, now I have to wait until traffic stops to do so.

I used to be able to forward SMSes; used to be able to invite someone into an SMS conversation; used to be able to send business cards; used to be able to reject calls; had predictive text.

It is a great computer, but Steve and his men need to incorporate user research and user feedback into this stuff. I know they love to innovate and lead the pack but you can't lead from behind.

I have been told that the Mac OS is amazing.

And was so tempted to try it after my amazing iPod.

Yet my last 2 experiences of it thus far (being iTunes and iPhone) leave me guessing it will be great at some things that Apple think are cool and missing others that have been around on other OSs for the last 72 years.

Can't be hard to write a stable OS if you don't allow any freedom in it.

Get a life dudes. This is your shot at gaining the market of not just gadgets, but corporate and personal PC use. I half love what you're doing and half feel like I'm stuck in the OS equivalent of Communism.
