Well most consumer surveys show that Apple leads in quality and repair history, so they must be doing something right. I only own one Apple product and that is my 3GS, but I give Apple a lot of respect for growing the company the way they are and simultaneously keeping the quality high. See Toyota if you need an example of how to get too big for your own good.

This has more to do with keeping a closed loop system than anything else.

I take mine LAN party gaming with unreal tournament and if I wanted to I can play any game I want on mine with the windows emulator. But I use mine for other stuff than gaming.

No, I don't want to game. I want to edit movies and make music on my computers. And this is coming from somebody who owns two game development studios.

;)

I tend to think that a lot of people who argue and argue that the PC is super fun great are either gamers or people enjoy 'running' a computer in the technical fixing, upgrading and maintaining sense, rather than just turning on and running an application sense.

The closed loop system works fine. It stops people whining when some horrendous nameless chinese video card is jammed into their machine and it *shock* doesn't work because it doesn't like the sound card or the nameless Korean USB 2.0 card sat two slots up. With a PC, I had a text editor program which REFUSED to work because of the soundcard I had installed. The text editor didn't even using the fvcking soundcard. POS.

The only thing I don't like about Apple is its trendiness. I used them because they were industry standard in a lot of areas I work in. They were only ever used by those who worked in print or video or music, but now everyone is buying them just so they look stylish as they **** around online or check their facebook. I don't feel special any more. If this continues, I'm going back to my Amiga. ;)

Lets get back on the phone sense of things lol.

Iphone FTW

:iagree:

I have had every single iPhone on launch date..... go me, haha.

I love the iPhone and it does just about everything I need and I can't see myself without it. I also bought a 17" MacBook Pro with all the goodies and spent over $3k on it a couple years ago. Runs flawlessly. I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy, but I do think their products are top notch.

I have convinced 90% of my friends to go with the iPhones, including the entire immediate family and they couldn't be happier. If you're knocking the iPhone then you probably haven't had the opportunity to use one for at least a week, unless you've got a problem with AT&T.

Needless to say; I have an iPhone 4 32GB set to arrive at the house this Thursday, as well as the girlfriend's and my brother's iPhone 16GB models. My mother and father would love to get one as well but they don't want to spend more each month on data plans that they probably won't use.

I can't disagree with this, considering I am a gamer and computer savvy.

Though despite my knowledge of computers I've been completely barren of problems since 7. I use it on my laptop as well as my home machine and I honestly haven't had a single complaint.

Apples are just very... watered down, I guess? I like to customize things, I like to toy around with the parts underneath -- and I like to do so while being able to enjoy the majority of software out there, so Windows appeals to me.

I have to honestly say though, things like this just don't happen anymore. I worked at a techy Geek-squad esque place for 3 years and I never saw anything like this. 95% of everything I saw had to do with Bob clicking on retarded things. And yeah, having a Mac might help that, but if they become as popular (in the actual computing world) as you are afraid of -- then it will become a problem there as well. :p

And we all know Reason and Cubase work just as well on PC! :p

But on topic...

yay droid

tbh if you could grab one on another network it would be so much better, but AT&T is complete trash here so everyone that has one just bitches nonstop about connectivity and dropping out of 3G

My 3GS is jailbroken and I am wondering about the new OS coming on Monday. I love my SBS setting app that allows me to access most of the important system setting with one swipe, and I have not seen if the new OS will allow something similar. If it does I will upgrade, otherwise I won't until I get my new 4 series in a month or so. Please post what you find here or PM me. :tup:

I previously had an iphone through my employer; now have a Droid Incredible. I greatly prefer the Droid.

Nice, I just can not wait to get my incredible. Drives me nuts waiting.

Just ordered my iPhone4 on Apple's website. Due to be delivered mid-July! I'm selling my 3GS for more than I paid, how often can you say that?

Sounds good Tin.

I have the HTC Incredible and it lives up to is name.
