over priced, walled garden environment, no freedom, barely any software and no choice.... i mean apple move to x86 and still you cannot officially install osx and a non apple computer (the clone makers got sued and cease and desist orders) you have to pay a small fortune for an iripoff with lower specs than say a similarily priced hp or dell! as for apps, apps make up for deficiencies in the device... what about the flash fiasco or the antenna issues, deflection, deception and bs.... also love the 'we invented mobile video calls' with facetime, cos i could not make skype video calls on my n900 or video calls on most other cell phones with (gasp) a front facing camera for the past 5 years?

the ipad is one cool device they made lately however thers no front facing camera, its crippled with a phone os and its locked down - oh and since it came to market all publishers renegotiated the ebook fees with apple and amazon so now if you own a kindle all books are a few $$ more! good job looking out for the consumer apple...

the list goes on....

then you wonder why people 'dislike' apple... pretty obvious to me!
