Oh my god, this thread is so full of misinformation, it would be generous to call it stupid. Seriously, here's what I keep hearing:
"Wow, I'm not paying $100 for that."
This is a patent announcement! Who the hell said it would be $100 or any other price?
"Uh, it's going to be $100 because Apple stuff is, like, way more expensive and stuff."
How many times does this have to be proven factually, empirically wrong until you people will shut up? Some things (BTO RAM, Black on a MacBook for example) are stupidly expensive from Apple, but where are you morons when when Dell charges you $100 for a color, and makes you pay $30 for Bluetooth? The overwhelming majority of Apple's products, especially their consumer products, are priced in-line or even competitively to their competitors. There is no way to validate this opinion with facts.
Every time Apple announces a product, everyone races to prove it's too expensive, then the facts roll in and everyone realizes they're comparing nicely equipped macs with a baseline netbook that has a 4GB hard drive and no wireless.
"I don't eject and it doesn't hurt me."
Wow, I guess if don't get struck by lighting playing golf in a thunderstorm, it must be totally safe.
"Windows doesn't have this problem. Apple just wants to charge you to fix it."
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.
