"Plus, OS X has odd ways of handling things that it does not expect. I keep a really fun piece of hardware in a cabinet by my desk: A PS/2 to USB adaptor for a keyboard. Plug a PS/2 mouse into it, then plug it into a Mac, and it will hard freeze instantly. "
Why on earth would anyone want to do that? I mean, are you really that short of mice that you need to do things like that? I have an adaptor that allows me to plug and American 110AC plug in to the UK 220AC socket, duh, why would I want to do that either? Just because I can?

"in addition to the bugs mentioned in the article there are other shortcomings in i(nferior)phone:
1, NO 3G/High Speed Internet(YES, its available from the same at&t in major cities & i'm using since Nov-06, works fine between 700 to 1400 Kbps)
2, NO GPS.... " etc blah blah bleat...
If a device doesn't offer you what you want find something that will! Hello! It's called 'consumer choice', look it up.
For me personally (and a lot of friends) I'd like a phone that just made phone calls properly and, more importantly, a service that works no matter if I stand by the window or the middle of the room...
Relax everyone, it's just another consumer device! Always good to see Apple rattling the stick along the bars...
