>lmao the zune is compatible with everything
Haha. Actually, now that I think about it, you could probably get the iPhone working on a 64 bit OS by using a virtual machine...

>besides MACs cuz they SUCK.
Using that logic, I could argue that the iPhone doesn't support all versions of Windows because Windows "sucks".

Hm.. no, that logic doesn't really work. Microsoft makes an mp3 that is only compatible with Microsoft products. Apple, on the other hand, makes an mp3 that is compatible with both apple products, and microsoft products. Hmm..

But just before you said: Thats why apple sucks. Isn't compatible with jack sh**. Make up your mind, because you're contradicting yourself.

haha.. there is a difference. Not being compatible with apple doesn't mean much. You and a few others are the only people who use MACs :p

However, not being compatible with microsoft is like suicide. Good luck selling any product that doesn't work with microsoft..

You were essentially saying that Apple isn't compatible with anything. That's actually quite untrue, given the fact that the iPod supports Windows completely, and the iPhone supports 32 bit Windows. And how do you know that it wasn't simply time constraints that kept Apple from writing 64 bit drivers? It seems like they're doing their best to make their product as compatible as possible.

However, not being compatible with microsoft is like suicide. Good luck selling any product that doesn't work with microsoft..
Apple did it several times. And they survived.

Apple only survives, because without them microsoft would be broken up as a result of anti-trust legislation.

Is this thread about the iPhone? It's turning into a big Apple Vs. Microsoftt battle again.
Make a new thread for your anger at either side. Leave this thread just for whining about the iPhone being obsolete, because most have a phone and a MP3 player of some sort already, why spend that much more to get another machine that is just going to get scratched and end up as a museum piece as a 'useless failure' a couple of years later. Either that, or everyone on the planet will buy one.

Whining without reason isn't much better.

If you really don't like the combination of devices, how come you're complaining now? The iPhone's idea isn't anything new, there are many higer-end cellphones that have similar functionality. The iPhone is just Apple's remake of it, and it seems like it's becoming an easy outlet for those arguments.

I don't understand why people can't have their own opinions, without arguing and explaining why every time.
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

Have you ever seen a flame war? They tend to be extremely negative opinions about something without any reasons given to justify the reasoning. I'm always open to other opinions, but please justify them. Simply saying "the iPhone SUCKS" isn't enough. If you were to give some specific reasons (such as Dani when she complained about the iPhone lacking 64 bit Windows support), it adds quality to the thread. Get the idea?
