No Ryan...No we haven't heard a damn thing about this...What with the posts every 5 minutes and all....

Maybe this will cause you guys to hate Apple so much you will stop blogging about them every 5 minutes.]]>Oct 1st 2007 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/20/tired-of-iphone-and-or-apple-news-on-engadget/)]]>Oct 1st 2007 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/
Hey that's a great idea about the RSS Feed stuff. But one problem. I noticed in the past that when I use this page, it is sometimes way out of date than what is currently on the website. I do not know why but I have noticed it being somewhere around 5 articles behind.

And don't tell me Apple is the only company with "Interesting" news out there.

Check this http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/surface.ars

More information on the Microsoft Surface.

Also I think your audience hates all the news as much as me. Did you check out that pole later back when you asked about the iPhone update? What was it like 40% of people said they were sick of it? (Yeah I know people can be stuffing the boxes."

Seriously I don't mind actual News but you guys post stuff that is just junk.]]>Oct 1st 2007 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/Oct 1st 2007 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/Oct 1st 2007 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/Oct 1st 2007 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/

do what you want, blog what you want, but don't make silly excuses for it.]]>Oct 1st 2007 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/
I'd love to call it like I see it, and say Apple did wrong. It DID NOT. If they did ANYthing wrong, it was not immediately coming out and saying, #1.) DO NOT HACK the iPhone with 3rd party applications. We are currently working on the security model of the device, and any alterations to these areas will likely be reset during major firmware updates, as we tighten security. #2.) Please be patient (already said), but we are planning 3rd party native application support in 2008. We will have more details when they're available. Until then, please take advantage of the level of support we can currently guarantee. We thank yo for your business.

Everything else is justifiable and expected. Look up UNLOCKING on the Internet. In some countries, its a "right". Here in the U.S., it is an "exemption" from prosecution under the DMCA. Doesn't that sound like we should be working on the LAWS, and not the individual business models of companies that work inside of the status quo? Currently, unlocking phones is a MINEFIELD, and if you're on the CDMA network (Verizon), you're more than likely out of luck if they decide to keep their network groovy for only "approved" devices "optimized" by excluding support for your phone.

Come on people. Big picture now.]]>Oct 1st 2007 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/
BUT PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING. ITS A WASTE OF TIME!!!]]>Oct 1st 2007 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/Oct 1st 2007 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/Oct 2nd 2007 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/
I hope you take their criticism as constructive. I for one don't mind seeing Apple news on your website. If I don't want to read it then I just skip it. Kind of like the radio or TV station thing where if I don't like a certain show then I just try to find another that suits my fancy in a different channel. So maybe this is a good thing that people are airing out their gripes.

Now, perhaps you may want to consider opening up an Engadget Apple site, similar to what you did with Engadget HD and Engadget Mobile. Or maybe even just posting all iPhone posts in the Engadget Mobile site. Just a thought.

Personally, I've always been a fan and appreciate the hard work you guys do. Besides, I don't know of any other blog that has user meets and tries their hardest for people to have a good time (Boston 2006 baby, yeah!).

I think this letter is great and I hope you will get the same response from Apple as you did from Palm. I sent a complaint letter to Steve over the weekend where I mentioned my frustration at him as well for allowing the 3rd party apps to be taken out. I asked if the reasoning for this was because Apple will be introducing software for the iPhone soon. If so then he should let us know. His response was that they're working on the things that I suggested. Whether it was Steve or not I don't know but I've heard the guy actually reads his emails and responds to them.

Anyway, don't take the criticism in a negative way. Their point is valid. See my suggestions above and hopefully they make sense.

For new releases, features, rumors, and corporate letters like these, some of the iPhone posts do belong on the main Engadget site. However, there have been a lot of general iPhone news stories posted on the main site that don't grasp the interest of the majority of readers, such as an article on a new product would.

Along with many other products, I do enjoy following stories about the iPhone. However, the iPhone is, after all, a Phone, and most articles written about the device itself maybe should be posted at Engadget Mobile.

Ryan is quite accurate in that iPhone news has recently been unfolding faster than most other products, and accordingly needs more articles than other products in order to keep up to date.

There isn't as much of an issue over the amount of iPhone and Apple related posts as there being an issue of if these stories discuss the innovation of the technology community.]]>Oct 1st 2007 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/a-note-to-both-apple-and-iphone-customers-on-the-v1-1-1-update/

It's that dam business model again, Apples vertical (don't mess we know best), MS horizontal (see what you lot can come up with, you know best). We may not always know best but it opens things up a bit.

Why you feel it's necessary to write an open letter stating the obvious, and already well published fact that the firm ware updates suck and nobody likes them, is kind of silly.

Exactly. I think this site is starting to take itself WAY too seriously. I've been reading Engadget for a long time, which give me perspective in this statement, and I can definitely see the ego inflating.
