You know what is sad? When an Apple Fan site has more comments supporting an article that the site tried to start crap with than not. Pretty funny. Here are some of the comments to this post. ( Macnn )

Wow... that headline couldn't have been more sensationalized if it tried. The guy actually gave Apple quite a few props, and the only downside was that the iPhone is focused more on being a phone than a media player. A valid observation, and overall a very balanced article. Pity this Apple-centric website chose to focus on the ONE negative as its headliner quote.

"Lousy" is a strong word, but the criticism isn't entirely groundless. Allard is one of the few guys at M$ who seems to have his head screwed on straight, and he doesn't seem to be poking at Apple solely out of spite (unlike his Ć¼berboss Mr. Ballmer, with his now-laughable comments about the iPhone last January).

You had the clueless lemmings that didn't read the article that just wanted to comment too... See Below! hehe

Talk about taking spin to new hieghts. Get me a Kleenex, I've got a nosebleed!

The iPhone is huge and-for technology-transformational. True to Microsoft form, rather than make a better offering, they'd rather tear the competition down with criticism like this. To use a iPhone is to know it is better than any device in its class, to use a zune is to know it is inferior to the ipod. To use apple's software is to know it is-head n' tails-better than windows.

So what to these duffus's have? MS is a company built on consumers ignorance. When it comes to these devices the market is much more informed and competitive. Allard might as well complain that the consumers know too much about what they want to use for a phone/mp3 player.

iPhone rocks. MS & zune does not.
To finish, does Allard look like a young Dr. Evil to anyone else too?
