Too bad the Pre's numbers are irrelevant. The original iPhone sold more in the first weekend than the Pre has apparently sold to date.

> Nice, I feel sorry for iPhone users

I feel sorry for twats like yourself who still cling to their pathetic Apple Rage despite the facts.

Here's to you, lame anti-hipster hipster douchebag.
I direct you to a partial explanation...

Dudes. His Blackberry is in backwards.
Microsoft puts content DRM support in their code - the code is a failure. Apple has content protection in their code - it is there to allow more people to download meida they want."

Nice try, dipstick. Apple put DRM at the expressed wishes of the labels whose products they want to sell.

Microsoft deliberately puts DRM into everything they try to whore themselves to every content provider and RIAA/MPAA wannabe that desires to strip away your rights as a consumer.

And wake up. It's 2009 and Apple removed the music DRM the very first chance they got. So your sad argument falls flat on it's ass.
It's hilarious as all get out how many people have to preface their comments with "I don't like Apple" or "I'm not a fan". You're jealousy is palpable. Stop deluding yourself. No one makes a desktop like Apple. No one. And for all the yakk about megahertz this and max ram that. none of the tech nerds ever seem to notice that Macs are not just PCs with Apple logos on them. They are a machine without equal. This is what all PCs aspire to be: legacy free, crap free, lacerating cheap tin shit free.
What the Hell? Does anyone remember when this was all brought out 2 years ago, by Apple? And the blogoverse exploded in mind numbing disgust for web based/HTML application development? That without native application development (which Apple delivered) the iPhone was dead in the water?

Now Palm apes Apple's two year old presentation and people go ga ga?

It must be the same people that think that Windows 7 *isn't* Vista SP 2.
The funny and sad thing is that Microsoft's Vista sales are absolutely 100% meaningless. They don't sell Windows, it gets bundled on every PC going out the door from every brand name PC manufacturer. There is no follow up to see how many of theose Vista installs get wiped (estimates are in the 50+ range) in favour of XP, or how many of these boxes even end up with Windows at all.

Every single mac sold in the consumer space is a conscious decision by an actual consumer. The millions of biege boxes reading email under some desk somewhere are purchased in bulk by the stroke of a pen.

Trumpet the numbers all you want. The Mac is experiencing and unprecedented growth rate because of first rate products while Microsoft sits on it's butt and rakes in cash thru vendor lock in. Apple's gains in light of Microsoft's monopoly is nothing shirt of amasing.
Ah, the "I'm an Apple fan but Apple sucks" troll. What a classic.

Anyone who is utterly and completely ignorant of computing for the last 15 years can make ridiculous claims about Apple and Microsoft being the same company, but the facts speak for themselves. On what planet full of morons is the software behemoth that gave us malware, trojans, viruses and spam somehow equivalent to the company that again and again has defined the future of computing?

That's right. It's Not. Microsoft gets all its best ideas from Apple, and Apples resurgence is about products, not vendor lock in. Only a fool believes otherwise.
Yeah, the 900lb gorilla of the software world is so hard done by by the upstart competitor. The competitor it stole most of it's ideas from. How is their clearly hypocritical "Windows not Walls" campaign going to square with their impending assault on Dell and Intel for creating technologies that subvert Windows to give clients access to the their hardware without the 5 minute boot time? It won't be pretty, and it will put the lie to Microsoft's incipient waste of 300 million dollars.

As most people have already figured out, the Mojave experiments are Microsoft's attempts to say "Hey, Vista adoption is poor because our client base is stupid! Let's tell them our verison of the facts. That will bring them back!".

Good luck with that.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
