[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 1084380, member: 22866"] Just because the hardware can do something, in theory, doesn't mean it should. Apple didn't allow some 4.0 features to work on 3G. People claim Apple is just trying to sell newer phones. Me and a friend at work jailbroke our 3G phones to allow backgrounds and multi-task and guess what? It so slow and laggy it was painful!! I totally understand why Apple chose not to put it on 3G. Regarding the BT and FM comments: for FM I don't know if that really would work. If it did I imagine the jailbreak community would have had it going, but I haven't seen anything about it. On the other hand, the BT sync has been made to work. In that case I'm guessing Apple just doesn't want to open up the wireless for potential security reasons. To enable wireless sync they might need to open up potential exploits for hackers. Who knows? Only Apple knows for sure; definitely not speculating internet bloggers and nay-sayers. I don't see any profit-making reason to hold it back, so I don't see why Apple would hold it back for no good reason. Other handsets definitely hold back hardware capability. I know at least one Andriod phone capable of HD video that isn't available through the basic software, but can be if it's hacked. So Apple isn't alone in this. At the end of the day it's like others have said. A product can't be all things to all people and consumers the vast majority don't want to pay top-dollar for every single capability they may never use. If that were the case why would people buy budget computers and cars? ALL consumer products make compromises based on its target consumer. Apple makes a product with the features it thinks it's customers want the most. And apparently it's customers like what Apple has put out. I seriously doubt there are 3 million+ people that are THAT much of a hardcore Apple fan as to sacrifice their own wants/needs for an Apple logo, no matter what the haters believe. Figure out what you really want, find a product that matches you, and have a nice day!! [/QUOTE]
