After three years of merciless mocking, self-denial and factless-damnation, I've finally given up fighting.
I have one of the new Apple phones. I feel dirty. And, yet, I have also been listening to the Police radio channel in Tokyo via a free app.

I have never in my life felt so conflicted about an object...

I felt the same way about my ipod
it even looks like an iphone, so it always spoils my rants about Apple at work

Me too
I didn't want to follow the sheeple but now I have an ipod touch I wouldn't give it up for (almost) anything.

People who proselytise about Macs
make my fucking teeth itch.

Normally I love Stephen Fry but when he starts Mac-wanking I could happily slit his throat.

I certainly wouldn't go and get an iMac
but I do love the touch.

I find with most of apple's products, the people who hate them generally has never used them.
Not always, but a lot of the time. I made the transition to apple this/last year, it all started with a Touch and now includes a Macbook Pro, iPhone and iPad. If I was a millionare, I'd buy one of those new iMacs too.

There hasn't been a single thing I've wanted to do on my Macbook Pro that I could do on my windows based laptop, that I wanted to do and can't... except fucking use IE for testing, but I'm sure I can work that out.

I couldn't get my head round the lack of right click on Macs.
I am a techno-deacon, though.

This is my reason for hating them.
I had to use one as four years when I worked for a magazine. Bad, angry times. Still, I left the place with a box full of free G3 RAM sticks, so I think I came out on top. Somehow.

I hated them back in those days too, always crashing, Quark Express was a pile of shit, and now it's more or less redundant.
Adobe has stayed ahead of the game, best move they did was take on macromedia. Worst thing they did was make enemies with the company that gave them popularity to begin with; apple. Apple are right that Flash a curser based technology and iOS has skipped that, thus making the two not nesserarly incompatable, but they are against eachother ethos-wise.

The hardest transition was moving CTRL to CMD, it's right next to the spacebar where the alt key is.
For shortcuts like B (bold), C (copy), P (paste).... etc, but now I'm used to it and find it hard to go back.

Multi touch really is the future, by such a long way, Microsoft really needs to get its hardware around that, and I know they will, it's just they're so late in the day.

honestly I didn't want to love it but it's fantastic
super quick, easy interface, the only gay thing is not being able to pick ringtones unless you buy them.

I'm still slightly confused and intimidated by mine

I refuse to purchase one
I have a cheap, small mp3 player for jogging, and hopefully soon an HTC Desire for other stuff that costs a fraction of the iPhone. I want to rant about it and become the anti-iphone-twat but I shan't...
