(Oh hey, you look a little short don't you? That's what lying does to people y'know.)

O Steve Jobs, Why? Why do you lie again and again?

At the beginning, we were promised a device that would revolutionise the iPod brand and mobile phones. An idea based on simplicity. You delivered, people loved it. It was a wonderful break from the tedious everyday life, complicated BlackBerry phones and the gazillions of different UI of different phones we had to put up with.

It was a major sell-out, until people discovered obvious flaws that made no sense and had to be fixed, like the landscape keyboard and personal wallpapers. You delivered. It was okay up to this point.

Then you went mad.

You gave people a half-assed multi-tasking, folders to complicate matters and make my phone screen look like an ant-hill in a tank. You approved more and more apps that had notifications I had to activate, and resulted in a mess of notifications that gave me frustration to no end.

Now what are you announcing? I hope the rumours are not real.

The awesome cable-bound syncing gave me a sense of security, and now you're changing it to wireless app syncing? What about my data plan? What about my iTunes on my computer? Wouldn't that mess everything up?

Instead of keeping to your 'simplicity' philosophy, you're messing my home screen even further by adding widgets? People didn't buy iPhones for widgets that provide too much information don't you know that?

Notification system improvement? What do you have in store? Are you going to complicate things even further? I loved the popups to be honest, as annoying as it is. It's simple, intuitive and very iPhone-y.

Cloud music? Music that can only be played if I own the song on iTunes? What about the CDs I bought from the retail stores? You mean I can't play those via the iCloud service?

Just because Google is doing it right?
