Hehe, nicely put.
I doubt it, though. They will stick with the same old crap and add new and funky home-screen apps that will do something similar. But the underlying OS will still be cumersome as ever, as will the hardware.

Just like they reacted when the iPhone came out. HTC still builds the same stuff as always.

Something like that. I think the name of the apple specie is spelled 'McIntosh', while the computer is spelled Macintosh. (?)

Maybe that is how they got around the copyright thing the other member pointed out...

How long since anyone last called a Mac a "Macintosh"?
hehe

I find the iStuff nomenclature kind of weird, too. Then again, it's made by Apple so I have to love it
