Dear Apple: What are you thinking?

Dear Apple / Steve Jobs;

What are you thinking messing with the media / Gizmodo?
The readers of Gizmodo, buy your silly products, and vouch for your products even though they may be flawed, low quality, and unreasonably priced. Apple you had a strong fanboy base, but how much longer will this last? Google is picking up some fanboys. Apple, it was also your fault to allow public field testing of an unannounced product and not consider the consequences. Don't you know hundreds of your customers lose their iphones each day? These customers don't raid into people's homes and take their computers, cameras, and servers. Gizmodo was a good enough to return back your phone. If this is the way you treat one of your most loyal blogs, how do you treat your customers? I was always skeptical about Apple's business practices about using child labor in factories, and unethical methods of treating suppliers. The actions that took place yesterday were illegal to seize property of someone who works for the press.
Apple did fail before in the 90s, there is no doubt that they might fail again one day.

Is the media forcing you get an iPad?

The Apple iPad is now official out and officially in your local Best Buy or Apple Store. The device has gotten criticism that it is a larger / super-sized version of the iphone/ipod touch. There has been some bias in the recent reviews of the iPad. As we know the publishing industry is going through a bad time right now, with less people subscribing to magazines and newspapers. People are getting their news online for free. Media companies like the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, and PC Magazine are giving biased reviews about the iPad, and saying it is an awesome magical device. While online media outlets like Engadget, Gizmodo and CNN are saying it is nice device, but lacks many things like Adobe Flash. The media companies are betting on the iPad, since they are moving to digital model distribution for an example Time Magazine charges 4.99 an issue on the iPad, vs reading it online for free. The WSJ offers a subscription to access their material on the iPad. WSJ does not give free content. One of the media outlets, USA Today who had a poor free iPad app, gave the iPad a poor review. The iPad is being hyped by media companies like WSJ especially since they have key interests in the product. I do believe that some of these reviews are not ethical, by giving people a wrong impression to buy a product.
