Woz Dumps on MacBook Air, iPhone, AppleTV

AcidAUS writes "Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak heaped less than lavish praise on the company's iPhone, MacBook Air and Apple TV products when visiting Sydney this morning. Wozniak said he was puzzled by the lack of 3G support on the iPhone and that he didn't believe the MacBook Air would be a hit."

Wozniak won't be happy until every Apple project is personally designed and constructed by himself and comes with a copy of his autobiography.

So just because Woz said it, it's news? His opinions are nothing new, at all, and have zero insight as an Apple "insider".

Cut the guy some slack. For some reason, people whose last name ends in "-ak", are just incapable of understanding the marketing side of Apple products. (Ya, I'm, lookin' at you John C.)

"Woz Takes Dump on iPhone" would have been much more funny as a subject line.

You might want to check the spelling on "Carmack" again, Sparky.

With all due respect to your 5-digit UID, I was referring to a certain pundit named after a keyboard layout.

Wouldn't iTreason be more appropriate?

Don't be stupid, 3G would've drained the battery much faster than the 2G support and since it doesn't have a swappable battery you would be left high and dry until you could recharge it. This is just Steve Jobs thinking like the true computing pioneer that he is. Duh. I mean, how the hell would you get around the battery issue without doing something crazy like making it user-replaceable? Who the hell is going to want to buy a spare battery for their cell phone of all things?

"Apple gets heat because their products lack a few features that people want where as Microsoft releases two dogs, Vista and the new Office, and they largely get a pass. Yes there's some complaints but nothing like the venom Apple gets."

Do you actually read /. ?

My wife also owns the phone and one of our friends...

That sounds like a good deal. Is it hard to get health coverage for her slave?

I think you took that comment out of context. What he was actually saying was that he enjoyed it when people took his comments out of context. ;)
