You mean iPhonies?

The bundle has been out in Australia since the 1st.

Judging by your spelling you've got no right to comment. Since when is it "Grammer"? It's "Grammar".

Maybe if the buses were going to lower bumf*ck, hicksville then you may have a point. It's not about being politically correct but about using an ambiguous and dumb post title. Clearly Paul failed Blogging 101.

I'd definitely go for the Ampli if it wasn't painted grey. A dark hardwood would look excellent in a lounge or study.

I just noticed: they put the i on the other end now?

"The Apple iPhone (not the linksys one) is most definitely the prime piece of Vaporware for 2006"

How can it be vapourware? Apple haven't announced or even suggested that their working on a phone.

Apple Australia staff are infinitely worse than this. Firstly we don't have Apple operated stores so we don't have to deal with genius' attitudes however if you have a problem try not to ring Apple for support.

Apple Australia tech support staff have work with a chip on their shoulder. They are rude unhelpful ditzy people who don't even know the difference between a G4 and G5. Not satisfied with their attitude? Want to speak to a supervisor? They'll hang up you.

Australian customer relations are also a pack of pricks too. I had an Apple Xserve which was dead out of the box (Faulty CPU module). I requested a complete replacement of the machine. Australian CR wouldn't come to the party. After five minutes on the phone with the American CR (who were great) he agreed to replace the machine with a brand new unit. Australian CR 'vetoed' opting to repair it instead. One year on the box still has a fails on a regular basis requiring part replacements (normally either the PSU/Bridgeboard/Logic Board/CPU module).

We buy HP servers now.

My Guess: Shake Sucessor and upgrades to 'Pro' Line. Perhaps a new animation suite?

"And just a question - but where can I complain? There's a quality issue at engadget and it isn't getting better (Quality of Journalism...objectivity and much much more .... )"

Maybe your all a little worn out from CES?
