Starting to dislike Apple

Hello All,

I'm back again with my next post. I never imagined myself with a post like this..but I had no choice left. I was always fascinated about Apple and its products on how innovative they were and always wanted to own an Apple product. Atlast my dream came true last year when I bought an iPod 30G Video. They say that this is an entry to the Apple world and it felt amazing and I was very excited about it.

But my excitement didnt last very longer. Soon I started discovering the flaws in its design,usage etc and how Apple ignored them.Now I dont want Apple fans pouncing on me. I have my fair share of reasons on why I dislike Apple.

1. The shuffle playlist isnt persistent across USB connections.
2. The iPod OS/firmware has the same face since ages. Apple never tried to implement new features or improve existing interface.
3. Looks like the new iPods come with a new OS and look and Apple seems to be least intrested in atleast trying to port the new OS to the older models too.
4. There is an Artwork bug in the current OS that makes the Artwork dissapear just like that and Apple suggests a full resync of iPod which is very very frustrating.
5. Forcing everyone to use the iTunes to update music on iPod. Why cannot they adopt more frendlier technologies like Rockbox that can pickup music just copied onto the player.

so, Now my opinion on Apple is as good as money minting Redmond based company, M$.

Oh, I almost forgot one more reason....Apple doesnt even want to release the x86 version of Mac OSX even if it has the full compatibility because they are afraid none one would buy their hardware. Doesnt it clearly indicate their insecurity on their own products?.

Thats it for now friends. See ya later.
