That John C. Dvorak is up to it again. Making radical claims year after year until one of them actually hits and then he claims credit - real classy. Dvorak’s latest claim is that Apple should pull the plug on the iPhone before it’s too late. He goes on to say that Apple is merely an advertising company and the iPhone is way over-hyped. Says the silly goose:
What Apple risks here is its reputation as a hot company that can do no wrong. If it’s smart it will call the iPhone a “reference design” and pass it to some suckers to build with someone else’s marketing budget. Then it can wash its hands of any marketplace failures.
So if the iPhone fails, Apple is no longer a hot company? Dream on old man, dream on. However I will give props to Dvorak for what he said about this year’s CES. Read the full article only if you can handle the Apple-bashing, ’cause there’s a plenty.

Why are you legitimizing Dvorak’s linkbaiting?
His linkbait was boring and by hyping it, Crunchgear is boring us, too.

Uh, yeah. The iPod was only successful because of advertising. Nothing to do with the easy-to-use or loudest playback features.

apple has a solid customer base built on delivering quality funtionality and estetics. iphone is the prosonification of apple it will deliver, but will fall short of perfect. unlike i pod or apple tv, apples not reinventing the cellular market its making it easy to use and bundleing familar apps in a single pretty package. i hear people talk now(about apple t.v) who whould use i tunes for tv…back when the ipod was realeased you’d heard who would pay for downloaded music? in a time when there are so many formats for video and music its nice to see a company support its formats across the board. no speclal converters you don’t even need to own a mac to use most of its products. yeah they come out with a new version every 6 months but unlike microsoft it sells hardware solutions with software solutions. …..if u see dorvack make sure he is using a black berry!

The only bad thing I see about the iPhone is the fact you cannot replace the battery yourself. To replace the battery you need to crack open the case like an iPod. Opening the case void the warranty. So you have to send your phone out to service from whoever you buy it from to replace the battery, or take it to an apple store. Not having a phone for a few weeks is not appealing.
