Just adding my two cents: Apple was exclusive to us nerds but it went mainstream just like Nirvana, 50 cent, section. When you go mainstream you lose your fire and look to hold on to what got you there instead of being hungry to get better. It's kind of like when something is used to hunting that it get so out of place when it's being hunted...
What I'm trying to say is Apple no longer has that independent "it" factor anymore, but the guys who adopted apple later on doesn't know that so they think it's the best it's ever going to get. After awhile it gets old arguing about flash or what programs you can run on it or even paying for ringtones of the song that you own...it becomes a status symbols and familiarity instead of substance.
Why do you love Apple? You love it because it was your first experience in the smartphone realm (or the best until you brought an iPhone) and you don't mind it's limitations if you stick your fingers in your ears and go lalala until you cannot hear what's better out there. As silly as it may sound, I'm going to another closed source, simply because not many people are smugly touting it. Hello wp8, I'm sure after awhile your fanboys will turn me away too.
Just because you chose to quote a famous dead person does not mean that you are some type of intellect nor does it mean that the quote in question is correct.
