    What to do with my great idea for apple

    The cynics will laugh but....
    I have an excellent idea for Apple/Itunes.
    I have told some friends and they all said it is a great idea and sooner or later they(Apple) will do it anyway.
    I am obviously not comftorable publishing this idea because I would love to get some cash off it. Basically it involves a symbiotic relationship between apple and another company.
    Any way to get in touch with someone at Apple so I can send my idea and not get ripped off.

    P.S.
    I offer no knowledge or technical skills, just the idea.
    But it is pretty simple to implement IMO

    apple does not accept unsolicited ideas.

    if you wanna make money off it, patent the idea, and then sue whoever implements it first.

    I can't believe Apple did that. The end of the article says it best, customers are sending in ideas cause they love the company. They should not have acted so harshly.

    lawyers are not known for their people skills.

    they should have a PR dept. handle mail. Say "Thanks for the interest in apple products, but we can't accept ideas for legal reasons... here are some stickers, though!!!"

    Not that difficult.

    I totally agree. I understand that they probably get a lot of ideas, but still no reason.

    I feel this should have defiantly been PR's job. hmmmm PUBLIC relations. I am surprised that PR didn't speak on behalf of "Apple Law" and showed some friendliness. That is what they are good at!
