Ah, GX, my favourite Apple hater. You seem to be awfully quiet these days. Don't you have anything to say about the numerous free updates for iPhone users, including the
major 2.0 update? Weren't you the one crowing that Apple will charge $129 for "service packs" that won't add any new functionality? Guess what, ever since the launch of the iPhone, Apple has added better Maps functionality, built in location awareness, improved the performance of Safari, added Microsoft Exchange support, a scientific calculator, the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, etc., all without charging a single dime. To top it off, they added the App Store which brings throusands of free and paid applications to each and every existing iPhone user, one of which is Apple's own free (and excellent) remote for wirelessly controlling all your iTunes libraries from the comfort of your iPhone.
And all of the above is available to every single iPhone user for $0.00, all within just one year of the phone's launch date. The firmware v2.0 and the remote app are so awesome, in fact, that people wouldn't have minded paying for them. And yet, it has all been free.
Let alone you, even I'm surprised. We're quick to rip them apart when they screw something up; it's only fair that we recognise their achievements too. Bravo to the company, I say!
What's up, huh, GX? Got nothing to say?
