AA batteries are physically different than the 18650-type Li-ion rechargeable cells most commonly used in laptops. Fail moar.

Umm, not flat-out rejection, but it simply does not blend.

I can go to Japan now, buy a keitai, and - through the built-in features - buy groceries / drink beer / eat lunch with district managers / watch TV news / look up bank account.

Meanwhile, you cannot do even one of the above without attaching an eyesore of a dongle, because the iPhone does not come with any of those features as hardware. You'll sit in a corner, surfing the net via a wifi hotspot.

Your image does not sell in Japan. What the iPhone can do, the keitais were already doing it for years, and it's not true vice versa. You are an idiot and an Apple fanboy.

@HighestRanked
In the context of the Japanese mobile market, I think you are a blithering troll. You don't even know what you are talking about.

@HighestRanked
After a heavy campaign that required giving away Apple's flagship mobile for free? Way to kill you own argument, sir.

Japanese phones can do almost everything your computer can do.
They are highly portable.
They can watch TVs without a dongle.
They can access bank accounts.
They can link to commuter prepaid debit services (Suica, etc).

What does the iPhone have that is better? Design? Locked into the Apple ecosystem? It's a easy sell here in the States because your phones totally suck. Even my laptop, being a first-generation UMPC, can watch Japanese mobile TVs without a dongle.

Most Japanese phones are considered as an utility. The iPhone is considered as a gadget. Which one do you think people are going to use for their daily lives?

Simple answer: unless the iPhone can do everything the Japanese phones can, it will stay as a bit player, guaranteed.

The original G15 (18x3 macros, LCD and all) was better than almost every other keyboard I had ever owned prior.

The later versions have a bit less on features (i.e. same keyboard but no LCD, same keyboard with less macro keys, etc.).

Those of you that keep saying "screw Steve Jobs", "the world is better off without him"... be careful what you wish for. God is not blindfolded.

find me pictures of said rady and i rove you rong time

Keep talkin', Microsoft, we're interested.

You talk as if you are going to let a crooked cop kidnap your parents and then come to your house asking you to forgive him.

Not impressed at all. Love it or hate it, there is a reason why copyright exists - it's designed to stop frivolous bullshit like this Psystar reverse-engineering of Apple software. The last time this happened, the inventor of the cotton gin got absolutely nothing because people copied his invention left and right.

This isn't about pro- or anti-Apple, this is legal stuff, and Psystar's still playing on the wrong side of the law. Note to Psystar, you want to survive, move all your operations to China. Major4Play got this all ass-backwards.

This coming from a former Apple user.
