Summary: Vote with your wallet...


As far as Apple's responsiveness goes, I think they are more responsive than
many big companies.  The operative phrase here is "big companies".  Whenever
a company gets big, its personal contact suffers.  I agree with David, I like
Apple's stuff but it is overpriced.  I buy their major components (if I can't
find a comparable item elsewhere cheaper) but all of the little stuff, I buy
elsewhere.  If everyone does this Apple will begin to lose money on peripherals
and hopefully wake up and fix things.  Your best weapon is you wallet.  As 
Lee Iococca says: "If you can find a better product, buy it".  If you can't
then you have to take what you can get, or start a company and build those
better cheaper products yourself, you'll get rich and do us consumers a big
favor.
