They never tell us this feature is just the most wonderful thing as sliced bread. They tell us iPhone is the best selling sellphone on the planet (which is simply bullshit). Look back over the group for the last year. Count the posts telling you how wonderful iPhone makes phone calls much better than any other ATT phones or how much better iPhone plays movies or which games run faster on iphones than on Androids or slopphone model 100's. No, what's CONSTANTLY the most important feature of iPHone, now iPad, is how many were sold in the last 24 hours....over and over. -- "iPad is to computing what Etch-A-Sketch is to art!" Larry
