Just to Clarify

 Only iPhone pic I have :-)

I've noticed that my blog so far (yes it's only 2 posts, but still...) makes it seem like I am an Apple hater.  I'm really not!  I don't hate Apple as a company on the whole, I just hate some of the decisions they make.  I love that they took what the cell phone was, and turned it into something completely new and exciting.  They started a revolution, and there is now some excellent competition in the smartphone market going on, which is a win for everyone in my book.  The company has some good ideas, I'm just not convinced that they explore every option before they say yay or nay to some things.  I mean the iPad running iPhone OS?  That's not the greatest decision ever made, it was an easy one though.  That way they didn't have to create anything new and groundbreaking, which is a smart decision, just not one that made tons of people very happy.  The iPad in itself is a great idea, I just wish there was more reason to want to own one.  It really should be something "magical", not more of the same, just on a bigger screen.  I just wanted to make my position clear, I am not against the technology that Apple has brought us, I just don't see them as holy and wonderful either.  They make a good, solid product, and like everything ever made, they can always get better.  Open Source would be good too  :-)
