I am a huge fan of Mac OS X and have been an Apple user since the Mac arrived in '84. I am a member of the local Apple Users Group and have given presentations on software and was a corporate trainer for 10 years on just Mac.
So when I pulled out my Pre over beers after the AUG meeting last night I wasn't derided at all by the Iphone-toters, meaning everybody else but me. They know that I will never buy an Iphone as long as AT&T has a stranglehold on the company.
They couldn't agree more. There hatred of AT&T is slightly overtaken by their love of the Iphone, so they'll put up with the gouging for now. They liked my Pre but said the screen was a bit small as was the keyboard, but at least it had a keyboard. I agreed.
When Apple finally gets smart and extricates itself from AT&T's clutches I'll probably compare the then Iphone with the then Pre and make a decision.
For now, there ain't no contest.
