The value of their company and sales numbers alone say otherwise. Keep hating.

And if you put the cloud to use at all, you'll easily go over your 2GB limit.

Hope this helps.
5GB limit. Also, Box.net is offering 50GB free storage.

I know this helps.

I guess that makes Walmart the best place to shop, since they have the best numbers.

The comparison makes zero sense.

How can I / do I sign up for the Box.net, and when does that offer expire?

Just get the box.net app. Offer runs until 12/2.

How so? You wanted to bring up meaningless numbers, so I threw some back at you.

My friend just downloaded the Box.net app (I told her about the promotion) and she said she only sees 5 GB free. Is there something special we need to do to get the 50?

Forgive me for my ignorance on this subject, but what is the difference between an OtterBox Defender and an OtterBox Case? Is it just the Defender is more "rigid" / "sturdy" and the case is more "bendy" / "flexible" ?

The Defender is the bulkier Otterbox Case, the Commuter is slimmer. I've been using a Commuter on my Blackberry for a while now and I really like it.

The Defender is much too big.

To be fair, the defender is awesome for protection.

I have the Commuter and find it to be perfectly capable...but the defender makes your phone virtually indestructible.

Also, you can find Otterbox cases on Amazon for cheaper.

How big of a difference are we talking about in size? Also... are these sold at any stores (i.e., Best Buy? Wal-Mart, etc.) so that, perhaps, I could run to a store... check out each... and then buy on-line?

I think Wally World sells Otterboxes for iPhones...Best Buy would likely have them too.

The size difference is noticable. You may be able to find a video on youtube comparing the two.

both companies sell average products for cheap and push quantity over quality?

I prefer the bulkier feel of the Defender. I think it's easier to use one handed than the slimmer feel.

McDonalds is also worth a ton and they sell a lot. Does this mean McDonalds sells a superior product?

I think the WalMart analogy fits. Sales and value of the company have nothing to do with the quality of the product.

Please, that's a spin. You are acting as if Apple is selling their products at discounted price.

Note: They aren't.
