		<description>You mean the iPhone isn&#039;t Apple&#039;s only product?  I used to want an iPhone, but I am soooo sick of hearing about it that I definitely don&#039;t want to own one.  I have a cheap phone that makes phone calls; good enough.  And under AT&amp;T&#039;s stupid rules, I don&#039;t qualify for the subsidized price on the new iPhone either, so I definitely won&#039;t be shelling out the $1,000,000 it costs to buy one without the subsidy, plus the extra $800,000 per month for the data plan.</description>

		<description>To be quite honest I take quite a bit of pleasure reading those stories that rubbish the iphone i.e. what its lacking or reading the comments of people responding to the latest fan boy defence of the phone that can do no wrong.

Do I covet an iphone?, sure. But I am a tech enthusiast and I am not blinded to the devices shortcomings. I apply the same standards to every piece of tech I see. 

But Doc you are right, there is way too much coverage of iphone in the media, it&#039;s become the media darling and every two bit journalist and blogger has an article with glowing with reviews on how it will solve world hunger and promote world peace.

As a result there are more than a few commentators that feel they need to even the score a bit by reviewing the phone (some objectively, and other maliciously). 

This then results in the fanboy zealots coming out and writing stories and articles in vehement defence of their beloved gadget, thus forming a vicious cycle.

The result? An internet filled with iphone stories and reader&#039;s languishing from iphone fatigue. It;s worse here in Australia we have had to wait a whole year for the iphone and had to weather a whole years worth of media drivel and we still haven&#039;t got to buy one yet ;p</description>

		<description>I am inclined to agree Doc, we need some new ... blood, hm well that sort of fits.. meh, whatever, we do need something new.  Something completely different, unexpected, and otherwise extraordinary, though it will be some time I think before we will see something that fills those qualities.  I don&#039;t want Apple to try to make a console, I already have my preferred gaming consoles and the last computer company I really was for went under because of it... stupid stupid Commodore... Anyone can make a console these days, even Microsoft apparently... 

Sooo... what should Apple create... I&#039;m at a loss, there isn&#039;t much room to develope something completely different, just new incarnations of previous devices.  Though on those lines, I hear that a film company, I think it&#039;s 20th Century Fox is working on a new kind of 3D, a 3D that will be as big a leap from current 3D as silent films was to technicolour talkies.  Is straying off topic, back to Apple... they need something new, as long as I am on 3D..  I got it, Apple should create the Holodeck of Star Trek!  That&#039;s it!  yep, okay, I&#039;ll be waiting for my Holodeck now... sorry, my iHolodeck...</description>
