As I said, how Jobs has the balls to get away with it and sleep and night, I really don't know. He gets away with it legally because its stipulated in the EULA so he can charge what he wants, but it suprises me how many in the Mac community just keep supporting it.

They do not, if you look at most Apple Commentary sites and blogs you will find the ringtone issue is unpopular and applications have been developed that allows you to use your own ringtones from your songs without paying Apple. They are also angry AT the lack of a SDK for the iPhone.
I rarely see evidence of your popular stereotype of Mac users defending everything Apple does outside of forums populated by 13-year olds.

That's just it. Apart from the memory size and the screen, the iPhone isn't cutting edge. Even the much hyped OS is just a pretty interface running on a seven year old OS (Mac OSX). The PS3 has it's faults, but it is arguably cutting edge.

I think referring to OSX as a seven-year OS is unfair. OSX doesnt have a traditional software cycle and it's worth considering a 10.x upgrade as a full OS upgrade. So much has changed since 10.1. A whole bunch of new API's for developers as well as 64 bit and Mutli-Core support (and the continuing UNIX changes) and much much more and thats before we even mention end-user features such as Expose and Spotlight. The only reason they call them 10.x is for marketing...
