Any Apple fans?

[tomato]

Here is a link to a live blog at the Apple music event this morning, in the Bay Area

if anyone is interested.

(yes, Steve Jobs showed!)

What's an "Apple"?

I like them sliced with some peanut butter.

I saw a pic of him from that event. Looks like he needs more rest and recoup.

Yes, I'm an Apple fan, or more accurately, a Mac fan (distinguishing the product from the company.)

You could also say that I'm an enthusiastic Yaris fan, but not entirely a Toyota fan - I don't care for the huge planet-raping SUVs and pickups they make.

When I was growing up, Apple was what you saw on a Beatles' LP

I grew up being an Apple/Mac user. First one was a 1984 "box mac" and my family evolved just as the company did. :)

I don't disagree with you but you still gotta admit, apple stuff is pretty cool

in some ways yes.

in some ways not at all.

take the original iphone...

NOTE, the link below is NWS for verbage

http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone

it was way behind-the-times when it hit stores. no 3G, couldn't send MMS (still cant lol) fixed amount of storage on-board, battery not replaceable (still isn't) you have to carry a cord around if you want to sync with a computer, as opposed to the rest of us who simply hot-swap microSD cards..

all things apple are fashion accessories, designed and marketed to people who don't want to THINK about what they're doing.

you can have 1.1million Apps (and pay out the nose for all of them) for your iPhone, but when it comes time to find a taco bell in your zipcode, someone with a regular old phone will find one faster. while you're swiping your finger through pages and pages of garbage to find the app you want, i've already texted taco bell fort lauderdale to 46645 and googl has texted me back with the address and phone number

not to mention i can send that text while driving, and keeping my eyes on the road. try THAT with a touch screen of any kind

and that is my rant. no offense meant to anyone who is a fan of apple products, but the product itself is not really all that special, given the ACTUAL features available.

^ you're preaching to the choir here. I don't have an iPhone (personally I prefer tactile kb's but I think we may be in a minority here. Even the blackberry is going "touch" arrrrrgh!) and don't even get me started on the AT&T 3G network :/ but OK that has nothing to do with Apple, itself.

All I'm saying is that they come up with pretty neat stuff (even if they're not necessarily the first one's to think of them )

I have a couple of PC's, right now, works fine for my needs, but if I was heavy into multimedia stuff, I'd probably go to Macs.

I'm not what you call an Apple "fan" though, FAR from it, believe me but I'll use their products if I think they're good: example, the iPod

[Tamago]

yes, the ipod is cool and all, but that is just one more thing to have to carry around if you want to listen to music :) any modern phone is .mp3 capable and with SDcards getting bigger and bigger, there's really no need to carry anything but your regular cell phone with you.

i challenge Apple to build a netbook that's comparable with my toshiba, and at the same price.

but they won't. a new iphone costs more than my netbook..

there's no point for them to compete on price.

they are doing pretty well convincing people to buy their products at the current crazy prices.

[KRAZGRL]

mac = quality. I don't have a problem paying a little more for that.

Besides, there are many ways to get discounts for apple products (student/teacher/gov't employee, etc)
