Apple may be making a lot of noise lately with its new iPhone 3G, but when it comes to fighting software pirates, Steve Jobs' company prefers to speak softly and carry a big stick -- the stick, of course, being legal action like its recent lawsuit against computer maker Psystar for producing machines that can run Apple software. Unlike other software companies that stage press conferences whenever they take on intellectual property theft, Apple prefers to swing that stick in a media vacuum.

What do you expect?

Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Shenzhen is a walled factory city of 270,000 Hon Hai (Foxconn) employees. They manufacturer the iPhone.

Yep.....keep outsourcing and you will have millions of counterfeits. Think you're saving money? Not when you give up the design and manufacturering capability of your product, which results in clones that are purchased by millions of chinese.

What goes around......

What does Apple expect? The iPod and the iPhone are made in China - Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Shenzhen, in a walled factory city of 270,000 Hon Hai (Foxconn) employees.

If you don't want your product counterfeited, perhaps you should make it in the USA, where there are actually laws to protect your product. Moreover, if you hand your entire design and manufacturing capability to a Chinese company, you can almost guarantee that they will punch out "extra" copies.

How naive.....serves Apple right for outsourcing its product.
