Macs are absolutly fantastic for some things, and PCs are better for others.
When I said I hated apple, what I should have said is that I hate things like the iPod, iPhone, iPad etc... I just think they are overpriced and crap for what they are, I will reserve judgment on the iPad until I actually use one.
The computers are fine, my mac mini gets used quite a lot, I use a PC more because I was not shelling out for a Macbook when I could buy a reasonable laptop for a lot less.
They still smell funny though

I honestly think that iPods are the best MP3 players you can buy ...But the price difference between them and the next alternative may well be more than it needs to be.
And as someone who shelled out £400 for a PayG iPhone a year ago, I'm not going to complain about that. It is so much easier to use than any other smartphone (touch-screen or otherwise) I've seen though.

The iPhone is not technically a smartphoneas you cannot expand it's functionality without using proprietary technology owned by Apple. Whereas phones that support programming languages like Java and C++ can have their functionality expanded by anyone who cares to learn the language.

How can something 'technically' be a made-up category?Smartphone doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, it's only words that a person made up to mean something.It's not like words mean nuffink or anyfink. Much better to stick with the naturally occurring words, rather than using words made up by people. Bloody people.

They are good, argubly the best you can buy, but the price is just too high for what it is.
