Good point. If somebody produces a product that other people actually want and are willing to pay for, then more power to the manufacturer. Yes, eventually they will be large enough to afford sterile manucatruring environments, and then I'll consider the product. However until then, I won't buy. But if they have a market, then more power to them. Do whatever, but I won't likely be buying. I demand a certian level of manufacturing standards, and will not waiver from those standards. It is up to the manufacturer to meet my expectations, not reduce my expectations to meet cheap manufacturers.

By the way, even the iphone is made by Chinese manufacturer.
As an old saying goes, "Jack of all trades, master of none", except for PC repair. Even if your PC is a royal POS that won't even start, I can get it back, and you will not lose any data. It might take a day of labor, but I will be able to restore it. As part of PC repair, I am fully aware of the nessecary procedures in order to not unintentionally cause ESD, or contaminate the working surface.

I don't use an iPhone. I use an HTC Touch Pro (GSM). It was made in Taiwan, not the PRC. I will not use a neutered device, or one built for less then the cost of slave labor.
