Ugh.....cool factor....Horrible reason for overpaying for something. Honestly though there's a problem with that analogy: the Porche is a high quality machine. I can't comment on the quality of the iPhone specifically, but if iPods are anything to go by there's a definate lack of quality in Apple products. My first MP3 player was made the same year the first iPod came out and still works great. My dad and both my sisters got the same model and they all still work to. How many first gen iPods are still working without having been repaired? Not too many I'd wager. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:322023 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
