Neither IBM nor Microsoft ever had total monopolies over both the hardware and the operating software, much less the content too. Where is a Teddy Roosevelt with his big stick to smash the rotten Apple into smaller independent companies to bust their monopoly?!?
Just because someone likes apple products doesnt mean they are stupid you know.

i know how apple work, what their products do and how they limit things and what the devices will do for me.

And I still prefer my iPhone to any other phone I have ever had, I went into it knowing its limitations but also knowing that I was willing to give it a try based on previous apple experiences.

And I love it, it gives me everything I need and does everything I want it to.

make calls(im in the UK not on a US network so tis is fine)
listen to my music
stream SiriusXM so i can listen to Stern in the UK(via Wunderadio)
get my email
access the web
etc

yes i can do that on other phones am not saying i cant but it has been the best experience I have had.

That doesnt mean I think everything else is shit, things dont have to be black and white lets try and remember that.

try to be open to the fact that for other people different things are important.
