Are ipads & iphones that essential to life?

Posted by Paul Scholes PM | on Tue, 03/05/2011 - 23:57 2131 24 comments | report

Anyone else here the News or see the reports in several papers last weekend about the working practices at the Chinese manufacturers of ipads & iphones? try The Mail &/or The Guardian

There are obviously many facets to this topic, including whether, like the banks, manufacturers should pay a greed levy but how about us, the consumers, the ones who feed it, the ones who must have the latest box with the prettier screen or extra buttons, will this make us sit up and penalise the manufacturers by not buying, or even sending back, or do we just shrug our shoulders and say "that's business"?
