Well doesn't that depend? I only use an iPhone because it is the closest thing to caring a laptop without carrying one. I believe it is still the only cellular phone that can display full real webpages (not the mobile ones). I know its the only phone I can use with my broker website/software. And that is the ONLY reason I have it (and it doesn't hurt that I am a retired AT&T/Cingular employee with a large discount on service plans/equipment). As for Avatar, I wanted to use the FLAC logo but a guy that is on the Forum often was already using it and the Apple kind of goes with the user name that I picked out of the air because I had just received my iPhone. It was more a choice of convience then conviction! And isn't the shading wrong/backwards on the Avatar? And I know that you have been around the Forum long enough to have read my rambling on about how I hate how iTunes, QuickTime, and any other Apple product or software tries to take over everything like it knows better then the user. What I am saying is that this is not a waffle or flip-flop, this has been my stand from the start and my user name and Avatar are just an abstract dig at Apple. I have only bought one song from the iTunes store because I had to buy the song first so that I could make it my Ringtone even though I already owned the CD and had the song ripped (another reason to dislike iTunes and Apple). Somebody should write a program that will take any ripped song and make it an iPhone Ringtone and sell it for $15. And lastly, one has to at least give Apple and Jobs there just dues for not folding under the pressure of MicroSoft (can't stand MS either but again have to use them sometimes). My favorites have always been the underdog like Amiga, BE, and using Red Hat. And isn't funny that so many free or open source items do so well?
