ceosmack.com — There have long been reports that Steve Jobs and Apple have a reputation for using its partners to its benefit, and then giving them none of the credit for a product?s success. If a product does well, Apple gets the spotlight?but if a product has a bug or if there is a technical problem, Apple leaves their partners to shoulder the blame.

So am I supposed to feel sorry for AT&T? They've got a gang of lawyers and other business people who were involved in negotiating this deal just like Apple did. They took the deal because they thought it'd be good for them in some way or another and they felt that the gains would ultimately outweigh the costs. That's business. They, like Verizon, didn't have to sign this deal with Apple.

I can't believe a CEO of that guys level would make issue with the iPhone not having ATT screened on the outside. His car must have the stupid logo from where he bought it.

And Steve Ballmer and Microsoft have been screwing over the entire planet. What's your point?

While i can agree that the practice of self-glorification with success and loading bad-news onto business partners is not cool. I more than happy that it is AT&T on the bad end of that stick. They have a history of knifing their customers and pretending nothing is going on.AT&T > Cingular > AT&T = didn't fool anyone.

I do because i wont ever own a icrap phone When i buy something its mine and i want to be able to make it personal the iphone does not and will never allow that.
