I like how they come loaded with accessories but other then that not much I can say, the newer ones are a little better. The only reason I would buy a Mac is so I can use the Magic Mouse. But I do have iPod Touch and I am proud with that so Apple does make some good things.You don't have to open Finder to open apps lol, ever heard of a dock, or spotlight?

The andriod is far superior then the os x mobile, and not to mention when Google comes out with its os its gonna wipe Macs off the planet. Here is one of the MANY articles that explain why the Andriod is amazing. http://www.thevirtualcircle.com/2009/12/...oogle-2-0/
Here is an exert -
"Importantly, Android differs from the OS X implementation on the iPhone by one very critical point. Android can multitask – in the sense that you can run more than one application at a time. This is a distinct advantage over the iPhone’s OS X, and one which Apple is going to have to match reasonably soon for fear of lagging behind."
Oh and no, Windows would not be able to but their OS on a mobile device, but this isnt Windows VS Mac, its Mac vs Everything else, therefore I would like to point out that Google has put Linux on a phone, and any mobile device (netbooks), and linux is a far superior OS.
Hey, I'm really happy for you..and I'm gonna let you finish, but you are an idiot.
1) I have used Android and iPhone OS (or OS X mobile as you call it) and I much prefer iPhone OS, Google is doing a good job with Android but it's still very rough around the edges.
2) Google's 'Chrome OS' is hardly an operating system. it's basically a modified version of Chrome, I'm not saying that's bad, it's going to be GREAT for netbooks, NETBOOKS, it's just for bloody netbooks man, this is a clear sign of you having no freakin idea about what you're talking about, you need to do some research before you go talking crap.
3) OS X and iPhone OS are both UNIX.

Windows 7 is an amazing OS Microsoft really delivered with it and i think a lot of people are going to switch from Mac b/c of itOnce you go mac you never go back, I've never heard of a single mac user that has gone back to Windows...ever.

Seriously whenever I ask someone why do you like Apple of Windows and I will get the same answer "IT LOOKS PRETTY!!!" or "APPLE NEVER GETS VIRUSES!!!". I mean a Mac is a great computer for people that have NO clue at all what they are doing and are downloading 5 terabytes of porn. Windows Firewall alone is already 10 times better and stronger than the entire Mac OS.
I'm pretty knowledgeable as far as computers go, I program, I administrate Linux/BSD servers among other things, I find that OS X has all the tools available to let me do that, and the UNIX-ness of it all lets me preform all the Linux-y stuff I'd usually do on a Linux box, I know a lot of tech enthusiasts that use OS X, just because it's easy to use doesn't mean it's featureless or slow, although that is the case some of the time (look at visual basic!) it isn't true here.
