Haha, this is NOT the way to cut spending, military...

In the end everybody knows that PC will emerge victorious.

Good job apple! You can con more than just stupid consumers into buying your overpriced products. I wish I had these skills. Too bad apple is conning the US army out of our taxpayer dollars :/

 

[XD_dued]

Battery life not good enough in my opinion (for iphone)...also fragile glass screen.

 

[ElysianMerc]

Everyone knows that Apple products are only used by hippies.

 

[ravewulf]

Sounds like the military is yet again looking for ways to waste money.

 

[STravis]

The guy's name is Nick JUSTICE. How f'n cool is that last name.

 

[JackNSally]

So now the military will be buying overpriced/underspecced computers?

 

[jr88]

They saw the effectiveness of an iPhone as an incendiary and decided they just had to upgrade from the conventional grenade...

 

[Guest]

This must be embarrassing for Microsoft.

 

[chickenhoagie]

umm if im not mistaken, apple has nothing to do with the creation of the multiple apps that are put into the app store..so why is the military asking them for help and not the people who create the apps?

 

[HansVonOhain]

These guys need to shoot an Iphone with a gun, and post the results here.

My toshiba laptop would do the job better. I mean It would be a great incendiary granade.

At least the military might be a good place for the closed and overly controlled environment of Apple products.

Being a vet that used to work in a area where I see how much contractors charge for replacement equipment. i.e wooden poll with rogue hook tip to put heli blade boots on $800. So I'm not surprised that they are looking to buy more overpriced junk.

 

[Quinid]

oops grammar

The gov is into paying $500 for a hammer, $2500 for a toilet seat, etc, so I'm sure the military is just much more comfortable with Apple's pricing philosophy.

 

[tacoslave]

igranades anyone?

nice Independence Day quote

 

[blackbyron]

How about just build a computer and save $1000 instead of buying overpriced macs?

 

[Guest]

government ploy for using taxpayer dollars on their iphones.

 

[ZEPd3Z]

don't ask don't tell...

 

[phantomtrooper]

Oh perfect. Use an iPhone to call for support and right in the middle of giving coordinates the call gets dropped.
