I didn't even think that was particularly inflamatory. Besides, you could trade out iPhone for Droid Razr or Kindle or whatever, and the bulk of it holds true.

I spend more time annoyed at my iPod than my Droid phone and Kindle combined, but the argument could be made ...

Those numbers about harsh and illegal manufacturing practices are from Apple's own audits. Measuring the amount of those offenses would be step one in eliminating them. No one else seems to have even taken that first step toward eliminating those sort of practices.

For financial reasons, I prefer to stay a couple of generations behind the curve. With this new one coming out, should I upgrade to an iphone 4 for $99?

Gazelle.com will give me $240 for my 4S which will cover the purchase of a new 5. Part of me feels like a stupid consumer all caught up in consumerism. Maybe I should give up upgrading for lent and be a better person.

If you want to go even further away from rampant consumerism, we can trade? I have an iphone 3. 8 gigs.
