I can't believe the justifications by some of the people here. The PS3 / XBOX comparisons are completely absurd. We're not talking about a gaming system, we're talking about the world wide web and an internet browser. What Apple is saying is that they want to control what you can and can't see on the internet.
That is totally, completely unacceptable.
Their complaints about flash being a battery hog and stability are bunk. I can't tell you how many times I've had to wipe clean my ipod touch and reinstall all the apps I had. Battery life? If you use safari on it often it gets dried out fast. The idea that Flash is any worse is a weak joke.
I've been an Apple customer since approx 1988 or so, I had an Apple IIe, IIc, a Power Computing clone, a 3G tower, macbook, powerbooks etc. and on and on up until my current macbook. I tell you what though. I will never buy another Apple product again. I'm done. Finished, it's over Jobs.
And the build quality of Apple is way overrated. I've had numerous problems with my macbooks. One had to be sent to the shop 4 times. Ridiculous.
