how would u like to change the cell phone industry?

I would do what Apple is doing right now. Use their power to force the
phone companies to offer (finally) great phones with simple plans that
their employees can't screw up or misinform customers about.


Apple can't and isn't forcing "the phone companies" to do anything. You're
an idiot.


I want getting phone service like when I buy a Mac.


You have a monthly payment plan for minutes of use of your Mac? Is this
something they forced you to buy?


You miss my point. Why do you think the iPhone is so successful?
Why the iPod?


Until there are more facts, the iPhone's current success is due to people
wanting a very cool instrument with good features.

The iPod's success is from Apple having a top-notch product line with good
features, and cool looks. And people should not overlook, but often do,
iTunes. It is iTunes that makes the iPod easy to use, giving it easy
access to their CD and MP3 music regardless of where they buy it. People
who don't want an iPod can still use the free iTunes to good advantage.

Apple doesn't make anyone do anything.

So, what was your point?
