This.

I own several Apple devices, including an iPhone and a brand spanking new Fondleslab, and am pretty satisfied with them (I'm considering having the iPad surgically attached). But I don't try to delude myself by believing that Apple is a different kind of company than any other trying to make a buck. They happen to make some devices which fit specific needs (wants) I have. But they fall far, far short in some other categories, so I have other, different devices. And when I sleep, all my devices come to life and slug it out in the living room.
