Oh my, its an invasion of vile, foul mouthed itrolls.
Tecnology makes something good to help people and you guys slate it because it didnt come from Apple.
I guess you would rather die than have a pacemaker put in, due to the fact that the software/hardware is not made my a certain company.
As for this coming to iPhone any time in the future, wouldnt that make Apple the 'me too' company?
While we are here, just remember that Windows Mobile sold more handsets than iPhone in the last quarter. I expect it will be confirmed for last two quarters by the end of the week. There are many more Windows Mobile Devices out there than iPhone.
You people are disgusting and tarnish the Apple brand with your stupidity.
@ pedro "Oh my, its an invasion of vile, foul mouthed itrolls. Tecnology makes something good to help people and you guys slate it because it didnt come from Apple."
Firstly the word is technology.
And I think you are blissfully unaware of what the 3.0 update will allow. Yes it will allow cut and paste. Woopie doo. That should keep most of the M$ trolls happy. The opening up of the control port will make this kind of interface easy on the iPod.
"As for this coming to iPhone any time in the future, wouldnt that make Apple the 'me too' company?" Maybe - but the point is that development of this kind of thing is easy on the iPhone.
"You people are disgusting and tarnish the Apple brand with your stupidity." I think you mistake stupidity for "not seeing the world as I see it" Just because YOU think you are right doesn't make it so. Also I would like to point out that the whole point of posting a "controversial" post was to pull you fanbois out of the closet.
"While we are here, just remember that Windows Mobile sold more handsets than iPhone in the last quarter. I expect it will be confirmed for last two quarters by the end of the week. There are many more Windows Mobile Devices out there than iPhone." Yup, Windows sold more windows mobile phones. How many different phones have windows mobile? Grats guys - BTW did you SEE the numbers from HTC - I think they are the largest WinMo supplier - they were in the crapper I believe. Probably just as well that Apple only makes one phone really? What do you think?
pedro, could you, just for a moment, please acknowledge the incredible hypocrisy you have shown?
sweet greggo made a troll post ... but you have no problem with that RattyUK made a much less trollish reply ... and you go off the deep end
YOU are the company fanboy here - you ignored the original troll post because it was against a company you don't like, and responded to the reply, because it was against a company you do like.
Here is a tip - assess a comment on the quality of its content, not the companies it appears to be pro or anti towards.
As for your "me too" comment, remember this - that was a troll argument when Apple fanboys used it, and it is still a troll argument when fanboys like you use it now. You cannot simultaneously deride fanboys and then use the exact same words and phrases as they do, unless of course you are comfortable being a hypocrite.
Oh no, I made an error in my post. It is good to see that you perfectly fit the stereotype of an an Apple user, that is a complete asshat.
I am perfectly aware of what the iPhone update can do, this site has already discussed it at great length. Maybe when 3.0 comes out, somebody will develop a similar 'me too' solution for the iPhone.
Your itrolling here is obvious. Pull the fanbois out of the closet? What are you, some kind of Apple crusading Wiesenthal?? The orignal story made no mention of Apple, but appears to have attracted fawning Apple fans such as yourself. I would advise you to keep your self confessed flamebait to yourself.
I am fully aware of the HTC results, profits down 30% off a 3.5% drop in revenues. Your itrolling and FUD does not count for much when people look at the actual numbers and analysis.
Your stupid trolling does tarnish the reputation of Apple.
My comment was not only directed at RattyUK, but the the itrolls that preceeded him also. I generally would not consider one person to be an invasion. Just his foul mouth pushed me to reply.
You appear to be rather judgemental, how do you know what companies I do and do not like?
As for my 'me too' comments, I guess that some people have little sense of irony.
@RattyUK >> Maybe - but the point is that development of this kind of thing is easy on the iPhone. You mean, it will be easy, once 3.0 is released and iPhone catches up to where WM2003 was, in '03. Only it won't be an open standard like USB-On-The-Go, and you'll have to ask Apple to approve your device. You'll also have to pay for the privilege, even if your app/device doesn't get approval.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
So let me get this straight. If I get a WinMo phone I could potentially save lives.
If I get an iPhone I can play fart sounds.
Okay, then.
You are a twat.
As Jubei mentioned this will be squished by the iPhone version. Out in August or September after the 3.0 release.

RattyUK: What about trillions that will die before the 3.0 release? All you care about is keeping your iPhoney
Greggo - there has been medical software for the iPhone for a couple years now. You can save lives using that if you want.

Yeah, HTC's revenue is down.. they haven't had a large handset launch recently. I hear they're last major set of devices did quite well though: http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2008/12/09/g1-and-diamond-push-htc-to-record-profits-in-november/
