#32Wonder what they're going to announce in the iPhone 5. Better battery life and perhaps a better GPS is all I really want over my iPhone 4.
Improved camera would be nice.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
To be fair, the GMaps icon always displays 1 Infinite Loop. Still, great catch.
And the clock icon never shows the correct time. It seems like the calendar app is a hack to get it to work right.
I now run Android and have Beautiful Widgets showing me the correct weather. :)

Then they might justifiably reply "So, you don't care about the product at all, and just care about the way the company presents itself?"

#37wow, that's just evil. TELUS (phone company here) has been running ads in really heavy rotation pushing the tagline "there's never been a better time to buy an iphone 4", and stating "offer ends october 4th".
Everyone is obviously pushing hard to sell their iphone4-stock now, before Joe Sixpack gets told by the news-anchor to delay his purchase for the iphone5.

But I won't hesitate to pay a bit more for a quality Apple product.
Some things just don't make sense. :)

It’s true that some unkempt people are very careful about their work, and some people who are late for an interview are on time for work. So I would personally probe further to make sure this is not a sign of a deeper lack of commitment.
Careful attention to detail in marketing materials doesn’t automatically mean careful attention to detail in product development. But you know, I doubt it’s a coïncidence that Apple's marketing materials are clean and simple, and they don’t play the “Intel Inside” sticker game, and they are restrained in the CrapWare they allow on their OS X machines, and so on and so forth.
So if you show me a busy, confused marketing item, I won’t automatically refuse to buy the product. But I will certainly probe to see if this is an anomaly or whther it is representative of their approach to product development.
