Why all the newbies all of a sudden? Apple has been putting out one hell of a brilliant advertising blast. It isn't just "ads" in mags and TV, it's viral and local and word of mouth. iPhone is the #1 story right now.
To spice things up, there is the gossipy fight among big players, notably Google and Apple. This is going to change the way we do things in business and at home.
So, we are all curious and revved up about Apple and what it can do and what it will do. And their products.
Personally, I have been a member of this forum for over a year. I was mildly curious but felt that Apple products were out of my price range. I am a small business person. But as I came to rely on my smartphone more and more, I came to think that it would be wiser for me to have a great smartphone rather than a cheap one. So, I visited here more frequently to help make decisions.
I have asked a number of esoteric questions and gotten some very very good answers. I have learned, changed my mind, and made better decisions because I came here, listened and asked and acted. What brought me here was my business and the need to communicate and a lot of the reason that I am interested in Apple rather than 'droid is how good the product is and a desire to share information with a community. By the way, I have actually ended up helping other people in my "real" community as well. They have asked me the same questions that I asked you as a newbie, and I do have the answers now at the basic level at least.
And I have ended up investing in Apple. I don't think I would have done that had I not known much about the product or been interested in it.
So, there's your answer. And it's not from a noob any more, I'm a member now.
