Oh of course. Only Apple users know what they're buying.
Nothing could possibly scream 'fanboy' louder.
I never mentioned anything about an Apple user vs anything, this discussion was started about "hardcore" users vs avg Joe consumer. Your tunnel vision or bias against Apple/SJ or whatever brought the "Apple user" into the discussion. For the record, probably 90%+ of consumers shopping for Apple computers are just as clueless as they don't understand, or care to understand every detail about a computer. They simply want something different than the previous xx years of pain a Windows machine has brought them because they are in fact clueless about how to properly maintain it. Those are the exact target consumer I was mentioning SJ/Apple is looking to attract, not the hardcore user that they know will never be happy with the hardware spec's vs a "pc" with every port option, 52 slot card reader, unlimited expandability etc..
Yes I am a fan of great products, Apple or otherwise. However I don't currently own any Apple computers. I do own an iPhone and iPad.
I use products that suit my needs for both work and personal. The iPhone and iPad do just that. When a better product, which the Motorola and Honeycomb may bring, I'll be one of the first to stand in line to buy one. I stood in line, well went to the store and walked in on launch day of the Evo. I was excited to try out a new technology in Wimax and as my work phone is painfully slow Android based phone, wanted to see a newer software version and faster hardware. I used it for two months, enjoyed parts of Android but the actual HTC build quality was horrible. Screen came up/unglued, back battery cover was gaping from the body and some other hardware related issues to buttons. Sold it and moved back to ATT, which I really didn't want to do and purchased the iPhone 4.
Show me a better mouse trap and I'm all about giving it a shot. So far, imo, the iPhone and iPad are the best mouse traps available.
