I agree with you. There is a big difference in what a company like Apple says and what they actually do. What they sell most is marketing. They are extremely adept at it and have convinced millions to be absolute zealots about their products. I own an iPod touch and it's the last Apple product I will own since so much more can be done with an Android product.
