My iphone & wife's iphone

For my PC though I wanted something that could handle more than just breakout and chuck-a-duck so I have a PC there.
 
I have no idea what that means. I assume it is some sort of swipe at Mac computers?

Chuck-a-duck played on System 7

Breakout is a long going joke on Apple's game library.

Don't get too uptight, I've been using Apple since the II+ while I find they do good at some things, I find they overcharge way too much for what other devices can do for fractions of the cost and sometimes far far better. For a typical home user sure they do great.

But when you need extra power all they have is the Mac Pro, which is way overpriced for what it is and the software is a joke, for example the new version of AutoCAD for Mac is nothing more than a port from version 14, it's simply horrid. And now they are doing the same thing with iMovie pro.. err I mean Final Cut X. They continue to charge a ton of money and offer less computing power.

You can put me in with the 51%. I just bought my first Apple product, an original iPad. My brother bought the new iPad and he sold me his iPad 1 for $75. It is a 64gb 3g model, so I know I got a really great deal on it. It is a pretty sweet device, although it is a quite bit larger and heavier than my Iconia A100. The web browsing is better on the ipad, but the A100 makes for a better e-reader. Its smaller size shines in that area, and it is a lot more portable. Now, for apps and games, the ipad wins hands down. If it is in the App Store it will run. For Android, there is a lot of stuff that won't run/is not compatible, and not just for the A100. Now, is this due to real incompatibility or a lack of testing? You would think if something would run on one Tegra 2 device it would run on all of them.

First apple device was the 3GS. Then upgraded to the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4S didn't entice me at all, SIRI was not a feature I can see myself using at all. I got the SG2 afterwards, and moved onto my current Galaxy Nexus.

Went from an IBM laptop to a 27" iMac 2011. The high res paired with a larger 27" made multitasking that much easier. Now I have a base 16GB wifi iPad 3.

My dad has a hand me down iPhone 3G and my sister has a 3GS.

I can no longer stand to look at the 3GS or the iPad 2, the resolution is unbearable for me. Guess I've been really spoiled by Apple.

Had iPods in high school about 6-7 years ago but those didn't fare well for me. Didn't own another Apple product until I got my 2010 13" MBA last March. May or may not get the next iPhone as my next phone. Still waiting on something to replace my MBA
