yes I saw the news but what does he mean by to all the haters, the pic is obviously fake? Does that mean that he did lied and played a game with us or was he being real but sneaky and sly to the scene people? This sucks that now he just said that "it's just a phone, you guys take it way to serious"

I believe that the iPhone is "just" more than a phone, I mean I do almost everything on it from entertainment to real world applications. And I think he misinterpret it when he said people "demands" stuff from him. They never demanded anything, more like asks in a nice way. I mean come on you have to expect it because once you released something so fast yet so effective, who would not rely on you for the future?

Ahh this topic has been beaten to death already.

He is just one very talented young man. Let him build the career he wants rather than expect him to be beholden to one scene for the rest of his life.

The OUT of Georg reminds me of the OUT of Zibri.

Would they have reacted differently if:
a) those negative posts were not so many
b) the "pressure" to publish was not there or
c) the donations had been "better"?

Meanwhile there are posts on the different blogs, including iClarified and here using language and obscenities which would certainly annoy me! Guess that a lot of "foreign" users, dependent on jailbreaks, unlocks etc. are not real familiar with the english language, becoming quite obnoxious.

BTW: One could nearly start a new thread to comment on GeoHot's "retreat".....

George has the same style as Steve asking always attention and publicity they liked a lot when thousands of people talking about them positive or negativ it did'nt matter.
There is only one important thing to get attention, and to have the biggest
It looks likes borderline

Geohot has indicated that he is leaving the iphone scene.
We respected his talents, his decision and his privacy.
This topic ends here.
