That said ... I do own both iPods and iPhones.

I really wanted to like a Windows Mobile smart phone, but the general design of the ones I tested simply sucked.
So, I'm making due with my iPhone (which I really wish either came with an SD slot or 32 GB of memory standard .... I've already filled up 16 GB) until something better comes along.
But, as for their PC products .... I doubt I'll ever purchase one of those. I prefer my own home builts to any of the desktops they produce, and I freaking LOVE my Toshiba laptop.

That's one reason why I wouldn't buy Apple products in general. If it's broken, you can't just go to the local shop and buy a replacement part, you'll need to find a shop that sells apple products.
And I wouldn't ever buy an iPhone or iPod, simply because the battery isn't removable.
My first ebookreader was the ebookman, just because it runs on 2 AAA batteries, the first Loox I bought second hand from my mother, but the second Loox has a replaceable battery, the dock even has a separate battery charger (so I can put the backup battery on it to charge it without it being in my PDA).
The same for my mp3 players, I bought the Creative Muvo, it only needed 1 AAA battery.
And I can make phone calls and text messages with my phone, I don't need anything more.
