its all because of class, you don't have an mp3 player unless its apple, or you don't have a smartphone unless its an iphone. when people refuse to try android, nokia, zune, sony etc. i even met several people who dislike the playstation move because the wii had "similar" controllers (when the only similar thing is the way you use it {as in pointing at the tv}) ANYWAY! i don't care for ios

um for the record, ipods rape the spoon out of zune any day. its not necessesarily because of "class" either. apple may be very restrictive in their operating systems, but they do make quality products. if they started releasing terrible stuff, people wouldnt buy it. apple specializes in making sleek, well built products. every apple product I've ever owned did its job perfectly, and for the job, i would want no other device. in fact the only issue i have with apple is that they like to lock things up software wise, but that's what jailbreaking is for.

while i think that android is a far better OS than iOS, i do think that simply hating something because it is made by apple is ridiculous. following that rationale, you are no better than the "hipsters" who you say love only apple products.
