Hey Apple, I have new idea. Take an Iphone, remove the phone and camera, leave the bluetooth,and make something that will DO WHAT THE IPOD USED TO DO: Give me recorded music. Heck, your original one came with a stand and a remote control that allowed me to connect it to my stereo. I really don’t give a shi...er...Dorkbama about any more software that purports to “help” me.
Up until last year they still sold the ipod. Thing is, they want you to trash your MP3 collection (formerly your CD collection, formerly your LP collection) and buy a subscription to listen to music you already paid for twice before.
I had a plain LG 3G phone before the iPhone. Always had 4 bars on the thing...no dropped calls. I ended up having to move to a 4G phone because someone in the neighborhood had a network booster that was interfering with my phone calls. The booster icon showed up on my screen, and the only way I could get rid of it was to drive down the road until it fell off. Back then you had to call a number to update your roaming capabilities with Verizon. The network booster wouldn't allow me to do that at home, so I'd have to leave the house in order to do it.
When I got the iPhone, I could only get 1 or 2 bars with it at home, and my calls would consistently drop. I ended up calling Verizon and complaining, and because I'd been a long-time customer (previously had a landline with them), they sent me a network booster for free, and I've consistently had 4 bars at home with it ever since.
