I've always wondered...why do apple do this anyway?
why do they excessively limit they're devices capabilities? there are reasons sometimes like for example, the price factor, if they produce a cheap device, then naturally that device's abilities are lesser than more expensive devices...(generally speaking).
but I do believe that the iPhone is pretty expensive and yet does not preform very simple actions that would be expected to be there like multitasking; if their first mobile received such criticism then I expect the second to include desired/expected features but that didn't, even after their fourth device (3gs), don't they believe that they will profit more if they just did their best to include simple but needed features?
