I have the iPhone and that's enough. Don't need the iPad. I only got the iPhone because it replaces several other gadgets (GPS, camera, MP3 player) and saves room in my suitcase for work. I have that phone becaue it is more like a useful tool than a phone.

Well I won't be buying Apple ever again.
Not bad those Gee Joks....lifes not even worth the wrapping an iPod comes in.

I never wanted a iPod and got a cheaper mp3 player, one not worth stealing. The iPhone does have the iPod and as I said, it replaces so much in my suitcase that it was worth it to me to get one. Finding out it a had GPS on it is what made me want it, until then, I was not interested.

Having seen some of these places first hand I can really sympathise with the workers! Some are okay but others are like prison camps! The also appropriate good farmland and displace people to build these places without any fair compensation. I can see there being another uprising if the conditions for the poor here don't improve. The gap between the newly rich and the ordinary people is widening fast and being resented!

Way too high tech for me. I couldn't even figure out a phone with a separate keyboard!!!

I just wanted to remind people that as deplorable as the factory conditions may be, do not blame Apple - the factor makes many, many, many other companies products as well. It's just that "Apple" in a headline draws media buzz. Other companies include Dell and Hewlett Packard, and since the story broke, Apple has forced raised wages for the workers making iPads. I don't know what Dell and HP have done, that's just the part of the story I have heard.
