They’ve done great work. But I have a sinking feeling that this breed of underdog will turn out to look more like a Pekingese than a Doberman.

It almost felt like a replay of Zune. I bought a Zune when it first come out. It looks pretty good, sound better than Ipod. Had a hard drive and cheaper than the comparable Ipod model. But I can not get any accessories at all. No speaker set that I can plug the Zune into it. No cradle for the car. And there is no follow up model. And I eventually just throw it away...

The fact is that if you look at the components of an iPhone an iPad, none of the suppliers have done very good being with CRAPple... In fact many of them are close to bankruptcy while the rest are sucking wind at the same time that CRAPple has vaulted 600%...
