What is the point of your post? Does it add anything new or different?

Erm.. in haste I hadn't read the original link, and hence hadn't discovered that it contains precisely the video I linked Still - it does add something new in that people can view the video directly rather than clicking through a site which has merely reposted it

The video is a bit of a cheap shot against iPhone users and Apple though, not really constructive.
Best regards, John

I believe John is saying it's not very constructive to suggest that the many iPhone users on this forum typically suffer from a cult mentality. As an iPhone user myself I don't particularly appreciate being pigeonholed like that either johnriley wrote:

Constructive? It's a joke, isn't it? ... not really constructive.

I appreciate your take on John's post, Tim, which is how I saw it too, but - as I said - it's still a joke. I sent it on to a friend of mine who's recently bought an i4 and he thought it was great. It's a molehill, let's not start putting crampons on!
