I'm normally not a big Apple fan. I don't like (out of principle, mostly) how they try to make money on everything (like creating a product you can't take the battery out of, so when you need it replaced you have to go specifically to them) and how they try to bash on their competitors reputation in their commercials instead of trying to uphold their own. The way Apple does business is smart, absolutely, I'm just not a big fan of it.
Non the less Apple products have been becoming a bigger part of my life for the last few months, starting with an iPod Nano for my 13 hour flight to Las Vegas last year. I had gone through a number of MP3 players before that, but I just couldn't find the functionality I wanted in any of them except the iPod. I would have gone for a Touch, but I thought it was too expensive.
Not long after that I got an iMac to replace the cable clutter PC in my living room. Granted, it has Windows 7 running on it but I use OSX from time to time.
Then, for the last 10 weeks I've been working on a school project that required me to edit the video footage on a Mac Pro and Final Cut Pro. I did most of this at school but with time pressure being a bigger problem every week I did more and more at home on my iMac in OSX.
So yeah, lot of Apple things and I thought that would be just about it, but then the bastards introduce the iPhone 4. Fucking HD cam, HD screen, phone, camera and an extremely sexy design all in one. In all honest truth, the iPhone 1 - 3 was just plain ugly and lacked even the most basic features but I have to hand it to Apple, they fixed all that with this new version of the iPhone. And I want it. I hope it gets a bit cheaper between now and the next time I go to Vegas, because I will so buy one if it is. I want one...
