Apple/Mac has it's advantages - mostly with a simple interface. Sometimes that's a great thing to have. But Apple/Mac do have their elitist fanboys. They're nice machines, but the word 'proprietary' really turns a lot of people off.
(My first computer was an Apple - ye olde IIe)
You want some power, and the ability to tweak it, and get lots of free stuff for it?
LINUX
I would run Linux on my box at home, save for the fact that there are a couple things (mostly games) that won't run on it. (yes, I know about WINE, and I also run VMWare Server, so I could set up a VM running XP to do my bidding, but games just wouldn't work well).
I recently bought a new laptop, and went with a Dell. It has XP Home on it... I haven't thrown Linux on it, because I haven't found a way to get my AT&T Wireless modem to work. (there may be some modem strings that can be used with it, but I haven't found any yet)
ANYWAY... this discussion should be about the iPhone itself, not bashing Apple or the Mac, regardless of your past experience.
I have to say this about Apple and the iPhone - they did VERY well on a v1.0 product. I can't wait to see how they tweak it to make some things a little more full featured, and it will be interesting to see what iPhone 2.0 does!
