Yeah, Apple realized the huge mistake they made when they made the iPod windows compatible.

They won't make this same mistake twice, they realized how little the windows population affects their sales.

Product pages are your friend.

"iPhone is a revolutionary new mobile phone that allows you to make a call by simply pointing your finger at a name or number in your address book, a favorites list, or a call log. It also automatically syncs all your contacts from a PC, Mac, or Internet service. And it lets you select and listen to voicemail messages in whatever order you want ā€” just like email."

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Even if you knew NOTHING about the iPhone, some simple logic would clearly tell you that of course apple isn't making this mac only.

It syncs through iTunes just like an iPod. Calm down. And our utterly stupid answers at least had some intelligent thought processes behind our sarcasm, unlike you're utterly fuc*ing retarded question. Think before posting a thread next time buddy.

Don't you realize you have to know the answer before you post a question?

Woah...settle down there, it's okay, it's just a question! Also, before calling him stupid, I'd check your own grammar.

Yeah, I said you're instead of your, my bad .

And in case you didn't see, he called us "losers" and our answers utterly stupid. My first post was good natured ribbing, however apparently he took it the wrong way and therefore we're losers.

I know it's "just a question" and I've heard there are no dumb questions...but c'mon...there are SO many things wrong with even considering that the iPhone would be mac only. Seriously.

And why start a new thread to ask this question? Just pick one of the 20 iPhone threads and ask there.

The problem is that this question really was easier to have answered by simply googling or even doing that thing we call... reading about a product. Instead you just made ANOTHER iPhone post.

I think the more powerful statement would have been to ignore the thread completely. But, then again, this was a bit entertaining to read through, too.

The original poster was right, you guys are losers. stwain, yes the iPhone is mac and windows compatible, using iTunes to sync everything, as the iPod does.

First the guy calls us losers after creating the eleventyfirst iPhone thread about a minor, easily answered issue. Then he gives us "gaydiohead" after his other thread's pathetic premise was roundly mocked.

I kinda feel sorry for this person...

No, no I don't think you get it...See, "gaydiohead" is really a play on words! It takes the band "radiohead" and the word "gay" and combines them, making "gaydiohead." See, it's clever!!!

No, it needs more of these things



Also, did I mention that I'm gay? Ya, Andrew totally wasn't suspecting this, but then again, we had horsed around in our boxers last year in his dormitory. That said, when Andrew told Liz, Liz already knew so she just started chuckling. Liz is a bit fat but very pretty (amaaaazing eyebrows). Her boyfriend Will is Andrew's good friend and they're both cool with me being gay.

But Will doesn't know the first thing about trinitarian paradoxes. I mean, I think he's even a Christian existentialist, which is fine I don't care what you are in your spare time, I mean I am gay and so I look at guys in private, but with God you have to be consistent in your beliefs in order to realize that you're predestined, which is fine because gay people can be predestined for Grace as well, no biggy, but Andrew totally looks better than I expected with his shirt off, I think he's been working out because his pecs are real well defined, and his abs are starting to pop out, which is cool but he actually isn't my type because this one time last year
