I'm getting sick of this reverse bias. It's bias in and of itself. This is an article about Pre, which doesn't even mention Apple. I'm no Apple fan, in fact I kind of detest them. But the fact of the matter is this is a big time of year for a big manufacturer that makes a lot of money and deserves a big spot in tech news. Why can't I read a single comment on here about anything without someone whining about Apple coverage? Constantly reading whining about Apple bias in non-apple related articles is worse than constantly reading about Apple. Grow up.]]>Jun 8th 2009 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/Jun 8th 2009 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/Jun 8th 2009 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/

"According to Sprint, Instinct have sold out after only its first week in sales, confirming rumors that the phone was making sales history. Pali Research also discovered that Sprint stores have sold out while Instinct has been so scarce, 54% of stores have less than 15 Instincts left. Sprint does not have the numbers yet, but the consumer response is nothing short of phenomenal especially with iPhone 3G this close to being launched. We did say that Instinct is an iPhone Killer and with the price, form factor and great features, it’s definitely taking a decent stab at the Apple Phone."

Looks like Sprint is up to their old tricks again. They'll never release the numbers. Even if it was 50,000, that's tiny compared to the iPhone, which sold 150,000 and it was $600! PALM has 49 million subscribers and 56,000 employees. Is that the best they could do?

That $99 iPhone 3G is going to be too good for people to pass up.

I did check out the Pre versus iPhone poll though. Once again, the poll reflects the actual readers.

I mean...it wasn't compared to Apple or the iPhone. It was even mentioning ATT...and yet somehow you saw fit to bring in the iPhone.

The only thing I really wanted to see with the iPhone was storage capacity of 32 GB. Video was sorta a blah prospect, but my niece would like it. Otherwise, the old iPhone had every I could possibly want. I mean, it has 50,000 apps, so how much does Apple really need to add.

Give me the storage I need and all the features from the 3G and I'm good. Anyway, I won't come back to read your comments because I'm sure you'll spoil it for me. Waiting patiently for the video. Peace out.

1) Apple does not release exact numbers, either. How many iPods have been sold, Minis, Shuffles? Can't it be said that they are up to old tricks with these devices also?

2) Why are these people haters, and not you, Apple fans, and Apple themselves? You like to scour the web to find a blog where one person had some problem with a Microsoft product, then proudly cut and paste portions of those articles. They are not haters. Many Apple fans talk about how bad Vista is, when they freely admit they have never used it. They are not haters. People like yourself talk down products like the Zune, talk up iPhone/iTouch, but have never used either. You are not a hater. Apple talks about how bad Vista is, and as with today's presentation, give no details about why Win7 is bad. They are not haters. Apple even makes ethnic jokes at the expense of 1/6 of the Earth's population. They are not haters - they are all just telling the truth.

Meanwhile, people like myself who uses an iPhone, an iTouch, and a Mini who comments on problems and flaws I personally have run into, comments where things do not work as promised, comments pointing out where Apple says one thing and does another, we are all haters. If I need to reboot my computer and iTouch because my Mini lost the connection to my device, is that not a fact? But why am I a hater because of it?

Or are you just trying to cover up for your own hatred by making others look worse than you? Don't worry, it was just a rhetorical questions. You don't need to respond. We know you are just a Microsoft hating, Apple shill who puts your entire self worth and image in the product you use, even if it is not as perfect as you claim it to be.]]>Jun 8th 2009 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/
Sure I made these numbers up, but it seems about right. Besides, watching Apple's press conferences and their slides of statistics, they basically make numbers up themselves. I believe their slides are boarderline false advertising. Everything is always 2.64447389x this speed and capacity that, but they're not hard cold numbers with support to back them up, just a cheesy graph that shows what they want it to show.

Anyways, keep claiming 50,000 apps, but I've only found maybe 3 useful ones for my iPhone, and I could certainly live without them.]]>Jun 8th 2009 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/I bet you drive a chevy or dodge and think they will be out of biz soon to huh.
