wow you must be a person who wishes technology never should advance and should stay the way it is. Apple releasing new iphone on a one year cycle seems crazy? what about sony ericsson or Nokia which launch new phones every month are they crazier?
The term "crazy" that I used is to regard their vigorous product marketing, releasing iPhones on an annual basis, eventhough they are new in the market. With this type of advancement, it wouldn't be fair to old iPhone owners, that supports for their currently iPhone would have been ceased. Look what happened to the old iPhone 2G. It was, and still is a very, very good phone, that could serve someone for a good lifespan of 5 years. But lack of third party support like cases, covers, and screen protectors would lead to an early downfall of such a good phone from a good phone manufacturer that has just came into the smartphone business, Apple Inc.
At least, Nokia and other major phone companies, do not cease support of their products. Well at least, I can still see 3310's original battery covers, battery itself, screen protectors and what not, in a Nokia service centre, and also in phone shops. I don't see why you regard me as a person who wishes technology never should advance and stay they what they are.
At least, when releasing a new iPhone, Apple should regard what is most important in phones, and make it irresistible. I wouldn't mind spending thousands on something that is new and fresh. Could you tell the difference between a 3G, and 3GS physically? I would be happy when the next line of iPhone includes flash, a higher megapixel camera and what not. Even my sister's cheap sony ericcson phone has flash

They should really use the time to R&D, slash costs and come up with something new and fresh for the iPhone i reckon.
But all in all, way to go apple, lets bring us the islate!
