Apple will turn a profit of up to $483 per unit on its high end iPad versions.

Seriously the people that buy apple stuff..are twisted it is almost like a cult i have never been able to figure it out?

Yes, they are over-priced but if I see an Apple product going for cheap I'll grab it.

I have nothing against Apple's products, just their marketing practices.

You found this disappointing how? This is Apple we are talking about, this company has been bending people over a split rail fence since they first started.

He returned to his previous job at Atari and was given the task of creating a circuit board for the game Breakout. According to Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, Atari had offered US$100 for each chip that was reduced in the machine. Jobs had little interest or knowledge in circuit board design and made a deal with Wozniak to split the bonus evenly between them if Wozniak could minimize the number of chips. Much to the amazement of Atari, Wozniak reduced the number of chips by 50, a design so tight that it was impossible to reproduce on an assembly line. At the time, Jobs told Wozniak that Atari had only given them $600 (instead of the actual $5000) and that Wozniak's share was thus $300.[32][33][34][35][36][37]

no, im not surprized, being the owner of a couple apple devices, and having paid 1500$ cad for one of them, i like the damn computer, it works great, and its hard to screw it up. I even dual boot windows and play games on it, hey why the hell not?

i am a strong supporter of apple laptops, i also have an ipod touch, but it came free with my macbook, and that works pretty good too..

i hate itunes and the way they force you to use apple software every step of the way.

1) Apple build quality and design is second to none, I'll give them that, but, the ridiculous prices that they charge for inferior hardware are clearly exploiting a brainwashed group of retarded persons who bow down before Steve Jobs
2) Dual booting windows on a mac is fine and dandy, how about dual booting mac on windows and having better hardware and performance for the price?
3) I agree that iTunes is the worst piece of software i have ever had the misfortune of being forced to use.

I still refuse to own a single piece of Apple product. Proprietary, elitist, garbage and not in that order.
