Those are all indeed all wrong. But which would you rather have? No communication or communication that says "It's in the fine print. That's how it is, tough." or that BS that Apple has been spreading?
Regardless... I have my own feelings. And non-communication is higher on my list of no-no's than bad communication (sometimes) but at this moment, Nokia and Apple are neck and neck for companies I will not purchase until they both do better.
And I own stock for both. Imagine that.
And deleted forum posts are chilling ANTIcommunication.

What's good about apple (or Jobs) responding (in anyway) to this issue is that he can be held accountable for what he says in the future.
Compare that with a company that keeps absolute silence...

After reading this, and reading the story about the Droid X tripping a fuse and bricking itself if it's modded; it really cements the fact that truely open source operating systems may become a safe haven for smartphone owners. Meego and Symbian might get some converts that way, who knows?

I don't think the e-fuse technology is capable of crippling the OMAP3 hardware intentionally, however - seems like another hoax to me.

The point was given a choice, which evil I'd rather settle for. Thought that was clear from the conversation...

Analysts have estimated a recall could cost up to $1.5bn (£1bn) whereas the cost of issuing free rubber bumpers to alleviate the problem would be cheaper. Estimates based on the retail costs of bumpers suggest giving out the protectors would cost nearly $180m (£118m).
I highly doubt they will recall the product as they are still struggling to keep up with demand.

$180,000,000 / $30 = $6,000,000 USD
