Chris, the android phone would be dumb for me to buy, I have been purchasing iTunes music since it started, I have purchased kids movies, apps and Kid TV shows, rented movies, I can sync all that media to ANY of my Apple devices, Android does none of this the way Apple has it setup with itunes and access to itunes anywhere. I have stuff on my MackBook Air, iPad and iPhone and AppleTV, only purchased once and transfered to all devices using my network and PC. If I want a piece media weather it is TV show, Movie, Music, and in a couple of weeks a book, I download it where ever I am that second on one of my devices which then sends it to all other devices eventually when I get home. Why in the fuck would I want to have an android phone that is NOT going to do that? My home theater is tied directly to my Apple stuff and so are my idevices. I use my iPhone as my remote control for my movies and music on my 52" Sharp, I can listen, watch, read whatever in or out of my house. I can rent and download a movie from itunes start it on my 52" Sharp and finish watching it there or anywhere I travel, I can put it on my iPad and finish watching it in my hammock in my back yard. Then my router which has dual band radios runs G and N at the same time and does a complete backup of any changed or new file every hour so that I don't loose any files. It also runs a secondary network for friends that come over that want wi-Fi, they connect using a separate network completely apart from my network and devices. And when I get a new Mac, I can image it right from my router right out of the box. My wife has a MacBook Air also and all that content is available to her as well when she travels. And when my daughter is old enough, she will have her content.
I could give a shit about android, I made an investment in my home network/entertainment and it works flawlessly, it's my Complete home theater all connected and travels with me. Even my digital documents I save and store on Mobile Me. We are always connected with our content we paid hard earned money for or created. I'm not sure what Droid does more stuff means anymore because it does none of this from Apple which is THE LARGEST distributer of media currently. This is why I like Apple because their stuff is engineered to work together flawlessly and simply. My iPhone does everything I need it to do and if it can't my labtop can, even run Windows or Linux. I get access to EVERYTHING with Apple, shit soon I will be able to run android on my iPhone if I wanted to thanks to VMware, I don't know why I would at this point.
Me and Millions of others see this, and Apple passing Microsoft in Capital shows it's good. Keep kidding yourself that it's only trendy, when in reality it is reliable, versatile, easy, and accessible. There are no apple stickers on my car, I own no "mac" clothing. Most people don't even notice my apple stuff because of how small it is and where it is kept in my house. My phone is carried in my pocket. My iPad is carried in a computer bag if I take it out of the house. When I do use one or some of my devices, funny thing happens, people ask to see it and play with it and I have never had someone say wow this thing sucks. They say wow this is easy. My 3 Year old has been using iOS devices for learning and entertainment for over a year. At two she could be handed an iPhone and she knows exactly what she wanted to do with it. She unlocks the screen and starts doing her stuff on the device all by herself. She has just turned 3 and these devices have been a huge help in teaching my daughter the basic preschool stuff. It makes it fun for her. It has been awesome for car trips, my wife reads books on it in the back seat with her, they watch a kids movie together while I drive or they listen to music and sing.
My totally computer illiterate 60 YO mother in law hates her dell Laptop, she can't figure it out, I handed her a iPad and the way you touch links instead of a mouse, she said wow this is so much easier to use.
Maybe I am not as smart as you and don't want to fuck around with shit all the time, I don't know. My Macbook Air is the slowest Mac they make, I don't care for 9GHZ PC with 32GB of ram. This is me, that is why I don't jailbreak, there are millions out there just like me. The sales figures and traffic in the Apple Stores show this, along WITH people that do want to tweak their apple stuff. That's the beauty of Apple products. They have their shit TOGETHER unlike any other consumer product corporation I can think of currently. They grew in a recession. And a big recession at that. So don't label me "Trendy", I have never owned or worn "skinny" jeans. That is "trendy".
I think I repeated myself a few times in this, I don't care, I'm not editing it anymore. Keep using the "Trendy" excuse as a means to make your self look cool because all of the sudden "Apple" is "The Man" and it cool to fight "The Man".
