*sigh*

Ryan...I understand that some of your readers wouldn't think twice about having children with the iPhone..but for the rest of us could you please please put up a direct link to the filtered feed on the top of the main page?

>> Fanbois: If you don't like it, just scroll past!

It's a little hard to do that when there is such a high volume of iPhone related content on one page.

I don't know. Maybe there's a solution to these constant story problems. Maybe setting up extra sub-domains for different filtered content would solve it. Eg. iphone.engadget.com for iPhone stories. and other.engadget.com for the rest.

Agreed as much as I would like to have an iphone and as much as I like this site I am sick that every other story is an apple or iphone story my god i supprised that this isn't iengadget. I mean come on apple isn't the only tech company making news but it seems this is all you write about lately, with as much inews on here it is just making it seem like this is a home for apple fanboys and nothing else. Come on engadget dont make a hater out of me.

Maybe you guys should make an EngadgetApple much like Mobile and HD.

I don't want a no Apple/iPhone feed. I still want to see iPhone and Apple news. Just not this much. TUAW exists for a reason; If people want every little Apple rumor and poll, they should go there for it, not to a general gadget/tech site.

All I want is a little evening out. Your TUAW comrades might like you more too for sending more readers their way.

So please, tone it down, at least a little? Pretty please?

What I love reading is the endless number of "WAH" posts. Someone call the wambulance.

My thoughts were more along how HD and Mobile work now, some stuff (read: Highlights, more important stuff) still shows up on the main Engadget page. Just not everything. So new releases, Macworld coverage stuff like that would show up in both. but the day by day tidbits of how version XYZ is getting hacked could just stay on EngadgetApple.

I don't know if you guys realize this or not, but the iPhone really IS a big deal. A few years from now you'll all be typing away on your touchscreen media/internet communication devices, laughing at the thought of physical QUERTY keyboards and the BS phone interfaces of the 90s and 2000s, conveniently forgetting the fact that it was Apple who once again flipped the industry on their ear with their unprecedented maneuvers.

I'm all for articles focusing on other pieces of tech, obviously, but you all are letting your emotions get the best of you, in this case your dislike of Apple. The reason they're everywhere is because they've literally doubled their marketshare in a few years and will be growing leaps and bounds. Remember, 1% marketshare = billions in revenue for Apple. This growth is amazing, considering how well entrenched MS is. On top of that, they rewrote the book on DAT players and their integration with computers, and rewrote the book on how to sell music in this day and age. As much as I appreciate Zune stories as much as the next guy, MS and the rest are literally following Apple's lead when it comes to certain markets.

Hate it all you want, but we've all been here before. People laughed at the mouse in the 80s, and look what happened. It's mainstream now, thank you Apple for flipping the computer industry on its ear with the first truly marketable GUI/mouse combo.

You've watched the same thing happen with computer industrial designs, DAT players (does ANYONE remember the Nomad before iPod? Yikes!), and the distribution of music. You're literally watching the same thing happen to cell phones, whether or not you want to admit that.

You guys may hate this, but we've been here before. Including the hate.

Engadget is about ALL technology. Apple's just been in the news ALOT lately.

If you've read this far, understand I'm not trying to start a flame-war. I understand iPhone's short-comings and hell no, Apple's not perfect. But they have some great ideas, and certainly they're not the only one. They've just been executing amazingly the last few years. This is important, not just to Apple fans, but all fans of technology as this will influence where we go from here.

Thanks for reading.

Apple has been in the news a whole lot. And that is kind of the point. Apple products and news has grown into what could be its own full time feed of news. I am in no way trying to say I don’t want to read any apple news, or that the news is bad. I would go to an Apple section of this site every time I visit. My feeling is just that apple news has become such a huge chunk of the overall gadget news that it deserves its own place. There are several pros to this. 1st even more news about apple could be posted without any need to care about disruption the flow of other news, and 2nd it keeps the main Engadget page filled with more of a random assortment of tech news (The main reason I come here). I have a great respect for Apple and Apple Products, and my comments are in no way at all me "hating" on Apple or its products. I merely presented an Idea about Engadget and my personal thoughts on what could be a good organizational addition to the site. So to wrap all the crap I just wrote in to a smaller package, an Apple section would be a compliment to Apple and its products, and I do feel that is deserved.
