Off Topic: I suppose you don't have anything else to say?

On Topic: What if Apple released a console? It will be the modern Sega 32x.

There's nothing else to say that anyone with half a brain wouldn't already know, apple excels at everything they do they revolutionize every market they enter their only failure was apple tv, if they take on the gaming market and create a console (unless it's a pile of crap), it will dominate the market, teenagers console gamers, and apple fanatics alike will switch to said console and with apple behind it deals with major brand games will be made meaning exclusive titles for that console plus big franchise games like halo, cod, battlefield, are sure to make their game compatible with the system so long as the hardware is equivalent to xbox, and ps3 the online WILL be better, innovation is what apple does they improve upon predecessors (and put them out of business).

I will never buy an apple product simply because of all the ways they try to milk you for money.
Sexy looking hardware, but very limited on the inside.

Apple makes small things well (such as the iPod I am making this post from).
Their larger products are just not good.

Didn't know you were clairvoyant [ :trollface: ] - tell you what, why don't we make factual statements when we, I dunno, know more facts - and that goes for both sides.

I gotta agree with this. As much as I hate Macs, there's some magic about owning an iPod or iPhone. An Android feels "slow, laggy, and unresponsive" (-Supertoaster).

and not to mention battery life is really horrible

my android has pretty much nothing installed and it only lasts about 7 hours on idle

my ipod can last weeks on idle

That's actually pretty true. Androids are horrible with battery consumption. The longest mine lasted for was a week on idle. And listening to music on it reduces battery power to like, 5 or 6 hours worth.

I remember somewhere there was an image of an Iphone and an old Nokia flip phone side-by-side.

The next frame had a caption with "60 hours later".

The Iphone was at 6% battery life.

The Nokia was at 95%.

Nothing beats Nokia, those things are made of the same material Gamecubes are made of.

They're made of Nintendium.

I was thinking about getting an iPhone when I can upgrade next year but then I read about how they were made and sort of don't want one now. but then again most other companies are prob the same way.

besides the fact the iphone is extremely sexy
