Apple Early Adopters (aka Suckers) stuffed . . . again

It's funny how many people slate Apple just because they either can't afford one of their products, have never used one of their products or just have this natural hate for them like people do for the tories, the rich, good looking people etc etc.

For the love of god can we not ban this muppet already?

Llama thread by llamatron productions. I haz AyePad 4G with 17mb downstream and 3mb upstream, problem? I smell a bad case of Apple Envy.

What for? making an informative thread that was then derailed by others? not his fault people decided to rubbish out the thread just because they dislike the OP :confused:

I already knew the iPad 3 can't do 4G outside the USA but im sure when most people see a product on sale in the UK that boasts 4G they expect it to be able to do 4G in the UK...

Im not a fan of Apple, but 4G isnt really a deal breaker is it, we dont even have reliable 3G yet. It wont work over here either, 4G for the UK will most likely use different frequencies.

This may depend on your location.

I get brilliant HSDPA roughly 90% of the time where I live (North Bristol). It's brilliant.

Regardless, 4G isn't too far into the future as certain networks will be rolling it out this year and next, rest assured!

I came here expecting some sense but all I got was rubbish.

In my house and around Manchester its great, but go outside a city and its not, GPRS is the best in a lot of places, i think we should at least have 3G along all motorways.

The iPad also supports HSPDA+ so it is fine for 3.5G speeds around the world. Can we ban this obvious troll as his threads are becoming tiresome.

can we vote on a name change for Stockhausen to iClueless?

I'd rather replace the "St" at the start of his name with a "C". It's not a mature suggestion, but it'd certainly suit him better.

Burnsy2023 · 28 Mar 2012 at 09:48

LTE 4g is also supported in some of the Nordic countries as well.

Stockhausen, clueless as always.

+1

Would say more, but would get banned.

Not really sure why this thread went all anti-stockhousen... regulator did say Apple has misled customers.

Delvis · 28 Mar 2012 at 09:52

I'm still not getting it...They're moaning because full 4G isn't available in their country...But they brought a 4G capable device and want their money back because this 4G capable device can't run in the non-full-4G capable country......

Ooooooooooookay

I haven't read any of the replies as I'm in a rush but I imagine it's because he's taken on something that Apple have got wrong and run with it. They misled Austrailia - Okay... - But is "DON'T BUY APPLE PRODUCTS THEY LIE ETC ETC." really necessary? No. Obvious Troll is Obvious

Because all Stockhausen threads are over simplistic, exaggerated crap?

Maybe because we were all looking for Apple's latest product called iCon!

His threads normally have good content that would make a good discussion but he presents it like he's a tabloid editor and I feel I should punch him in the face* rather than discuss the subject of the thread.

* Sometime I may want to kick instead

I completely understand that he exagerates some posts and has his views. It is to some mild ('strength 1 cheese' mild) extent annoying but, you know... just get over it? Is it really something to be that annoyed about?

It's not hard to shrug off and besides, they were held to mislead customers *shrug*

Usually I just give threads a wide birth. It hardly misleading anyway. Unless you ignore the only available in us & Canada remarks.
No different to this country and no refund is available. I can therefore only assume, Australia's watchdog is extremely strict.
Combined with the lack of any link doesn't help.

Trust me, this thread is on the bottom of my care list

Probably best to close/delete this thread though?
