I guess I recall Apple from the days when Steve Jobs was booted and just how awful their products were for many years - they looked nice, but they constantly crashed and were full of buggy OS and software BAH!.  It seems not many folks recall those days.  Once Jobs came back, Apple took off and all was forgiven again.

Transformational devices and ideas are rare.  iPhone 5 is largely a disappointment for many consumers I feel.
