AppleTUDE – [Ap*uhl*tood] (Noun)- The treatment one receives in an Apple store when they go to return their iphone. Usually displayed by a smart-glasses wearing, anti-establishment, $6 an hour retail employee who would rather treat you like a techno-lepper than accept the fact that the new iphone is NOT a device best suited for people on-the-go who need a business-class communications device.Unfortunately, I can not lay claim to this extremely appropriate term, Stratocade gave birth to it during a conversation we were having about our intentions to return our new iphones. He suffered a annoying dose of Appletude while returning his, I have yet to venture to the mall to experience it for myself. I plan on going in armed with all my complaints which I will deliver at high volume in my best mad black woman voice if I am belittled by those retail queens.
I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, I’m gonna stick with my CrackBerry. (Definition forthcoming)

Good Luck! Was Stratocade successful in his quest of the "Return of the iPhone". If the movement continues, it could be a mini series on the tube. And, you should sell your Apple stock if the iPhone is a real lemon.
You can always use my favorite line from "Absolutely Fabulous"....
"You only work in a shop you know, so you can drop the attitude!"
I hope Apple's Iphone does not have as many problems as my Ipod. I'm on my third one in a year. Love the term AppleTude because that is what you get from those Apple snobs.
