Like I said, Apple is masterful at finding ways of making tech stuff "cool", and for ANY tech geek, this a GOOD thing. Just because I don't USE them doesn't mean I cant give them props for doing some stuff well lol.

The new Office threw a lot of people for a loop by the way haha...no need to feel bad about that.

Indeed man

There iphones are great and well made, that one product changed the entire industry and how we use and look at cell phones. Yes we use to have the black berry's and all but nothing works as well as the iphone. The Droid is great I will say that but it's apps are limited and how they want you do download music is sort of a joke.

Why the hell would Apple include bootcamp in the computers? Also, the amount of apps are obviously going to grow as time passes. I mean the phone has been out for like what? 5 days now?

While we're offtopic, I have to agree with Mightybobo. I hate Microsoft more than the next guy but the fact that Apple has manipulated the masses with dirty marketing and pretty/cute packaging really pisses me off. In addition, it doesn't help that most of the Apple fanboys I come across are the biggest computer idiots I've ever met. For example, my roommate is one of these Apple fanboys and it's just absolutely hilarious that he runs bootcamp(WinXP) at all times. So basically he paid 2-3x more than me even though I have better hardware and essentially the same OS. Scratch that, he DOES have the pretty pearl white shell. Not only that we occasionally engage in Mac vs PC discussion every time he reads an Apple article and pretty much regurgitates it back to me in the most nonsensical way possible due to his lack of computer terms.

Anyways, back on topic. I found my first con with the DROID. The phone's camera is less than impressive imo. Maybe it's just the lack of light(apartment parking lot) and the pictures came out terrible.

You arent the only one. The VIDEO quality is decent I guess, but the cameras photos can be aggravating to get proper. I think a software update can fix this, however.

Well that is the thing, I am a mac user BUT not an idiot. I built my first computer at age 8 and been self taught and now going to school for it. I love being able to diagnose problems and fix them, that is fun for me. But the face that I use and love macs does not make me an idiot but I do understand where you are coming from.

Well, you're a rare breed in my book.

Anyways, I don't know where you heard that the phone has difficulties with music. It was easy as drag and drop.
