Arrogances comes with the territory. If that territory is called success.

Of course when it comes, its usually before a fall.

Time will tell when Apple's steam will run out.

Every empire has its day.

Sorry for all the analogies.

If a true Apple phone comes out, I'm all over it.

As for Jobs being arrogant, I think it's all part of an act. His success requires that people are convinced of his products being cool and innovative.

I can go with that. Part of Jobs' attraction of the fan-boys are his mystique.

The ROKR is being returned by consumers at 6 times the normal rate for a phone! By any measure that is a extremely bad.

This phone is a complete DUD, despite the ubiqutious Apple hype. Flop. Flop. Flop. Given there was a collective yawn from the tech community when it was released is anyone surprised?

Apple's best bet is to get the (crappy) iTunes phone software onto an already successful product like the Razr. Then they can just pin the success of it onto the iTunes phone software included via their usual marketing malaky.
