Yep, it's just the nature of the internet.
People's own opinions and choices rule all, and any differing one's have to be derided.
But of course, people aren't very comfortable with their own choices/opinions apparently or they wouldn't need to deride those of others.
I've never owned an Apple product, but I have nothing against the company and would consider a tablet device from them if it fit my needs and budget. Those two reasons are why I've yet to buy an Apple product. They simply haven't fit my needs or been within my budget.
I work in academia, so it's hard to switch to Apple as it adds the hassle of having to get Apple versions of stats software etc., and worry about converting files to send to my colleagues that I'm collaborating with on research who all have PCs. iPod I've always found to cost more and do less (namely lacking built in FM tuning which I use a lot) compared to other players like the Creative Vision M I currently use. Though the iPod touch adds a lot of features (but still lacks FM built in).
But if they put a tablet device out that worked well for internet, videos and reading/annotating PDFs with stylus I'd be pretty interested. Though I'd probably give it a year or two to see what competitors could put out and let the first generation kinks be worked out.
Brand loyalty or disloyalty is for suckers. It's best to have neither and just evaluate what works best for you at the time for each product you purchase.
