iCrap.
The product that costs you 200 dollars which only works when you put scotch tape on it so that you won't touch it. With this malfunctioning product you are also provided with the following wonderful services.
1). Single source for any and all applications that you wish to place on this platform. This includes in not any given order. Movies, mp3s, applications, ebooks
1a). Please ignore any and all news reports of hacked accounts where you are only allowed to purchase applications.

1b). Lack of popular web features due to the CEO's position that this feature can be replaced with other technologies that are not fully in place. Not forgetting that this refusal by the CEO again narrows your available field of applications that you may wish to choose from.

2). The restriction of only being restricted of only one method of transferring ANY media to your iCrap device. This application is both a resource hog and also intrusive as to when and how it runs.
3). A lock in to a single carrier which requires the more expensive mobile plan for 2 years. Don't worry, when more carriers are available you know they will also offer you this restriction in plans when you wish to join them with an iCrap.
4). A CEO that wish's to restrict what you see and access on this device because of his own moral standards.

5). And the knowledge that your iCrap device was produced in a factory which has a regular occurrence of suicides. But don't worry, these arn't United States Citizens. So, they don't matter.

Don't worry, the CEO thinks this is a pretty nice place to work.

The iCrap does not need saving because people like you are hypocrites that choose to ignore all these documented disregard for both the individuals that purchase the product and also the individuals that produce it. I say hypocrite because that is the very definition of what you are. For if this was any other company(say Microsoft), you would be howling for them before a court of law for prosecution.
