Never been a big Apple fan. I went from a C64 to an Amiga to PC's. The one thing Apple does better than most is form factor and marketing (edit - oops, that's actually two things ). As for cell phones/handhelds, I have been using Windows Mobile devices for eons that can do everything the iPhone can do and then some. Nothing about the iPhone was revolutionary except for the interface and even then it's more about the cool factor than it is about functionality. Just my 2 centavos.

What kind of mobile device do you use? Just curious. I want to upgrade my razr to something a bit more functional but keep going forth and back between the blackberry and something else. I liked the Google phone 1st gen. (I like tactile keyboards better) but the battery life s..cked.

By the way, I would agree with you that Apple's marketing / form factor is superior and of course the cool factor is undeniable. Going upstairs to the "genius bar" to get service on a device, though, can be a less than pleasant experience, at least here in the San Francisco Bay Area. :/

Sure it isn't "Attitude?" You're wrong on virtually everything, but no point in going into detail. Peace!
