The majority of folk that buy any apple product could care less about the tech specs. All they care about is getting it in a shiny pink.
Oh, and dont forget that your favorite -Insert random popular culture star here- has one. |

Hey, I'm a self admitted Mac convert, but I'm not picking up an iPhone any time soon. Besides the technical specs, I have no interest in having Cingular as my cell provider.
I'll probably go with a Treo when my contract is up....

Gurnee, IL | You don't strike me as the kind of person who purchases a product because -insert random star here- has it.
Unfortunatly, the majority of the people in the world purchase products because of that fact; something apple is good at doing. |

We could apply this logic to anyone who is a fan of any rap star/whatever star and has to have spinners and an Escalade and dress in a baggy basketball outfits too, pretending they are on the "team". Everybody is a wannabee.

I feel that for the majority of power users, this exclusivity has largely diminished their likelihood of getting one. I know (myself at least) that I was miffed by this awkward choice.

Thanks for the compliment, you hit the nail on the head.
The only way a product garners my loyalty is by providing good service for what I think is a decent price.
I AM willing to pay a premium price for what I think is a superior product, hence my Mac loyalty. I know people have a different opinion, and I respect that, but my experience with my 2 Macs has been nothing short of fantastic.
Same thing with Verizon wireless. I've had nothing but a %100 positive experience with them. Coverage, service, and call quality has been excellent.
Any of these service providers falls short, I'll drop 'em like a bad habit. I had Comcast HSI for years. Sold a LOT of friends on CHSI. When my experience went south, I dropped them.
I'm not loyal to ANY brand, I'm loyal to good service....

Oh, and dont forget that your favorite -Insert random popular culture star here- has one. I've never met a Mac user that bought their Apple products for the pure fact of what colour they come in, or what celebrity uses them. That's the most distorted reality I've ever witnessed someone say, and we joke about Steve's RDF... my God.
Anyway, I already have a 3G phone that's half that size, and more or less does everything the iPhone can anyway. Not to mention cost.
