This is completely false. My iPhone is deffinetly twice as fast as the old one if not faster. I compared mine when it was on edge and 3g was turned off to my brothers who was on 3g and his was legitimately 2.34 times faster on average for a trial of 4 tests on all different sites. I also tested it against the older phones and again i averaged around 2.45 times faster for 4 trials. Not only is this true but the cost per month for the service has not gone up which further more proves that the phone is in fact half the price. You have to test it and look up the facts before stating an argument buddy.

Point of fact… Red Bull was sued… for false advertising, which is why their commericals now include a disclaimer stating that “red bull will not actually give you wings”

I still cant see how anyone thinks Vista is horrible…I have had, count them, zero issues, with anything I’ve done since it came out. Perhaps your laptop sucks….

As for this ad…Your average consumer would not in anyway know that “twice as fast” was an exageration. People having wings does not even compare.

Agreed, Although I am an apple fan and have apple products, I think apple should not have done this, so I support the persona that files the lawsuit! BTW jeff really good point!

Companies are allowed to stretch the truth. It’s known as “invitation to treat.”
