I've never been an Apple supporter.

The last time I touched a Mac was back in 1988 when Coles were donating Apple Macs to schools. I was in grade two, and PC's weren't even mainstream yet. Mac by rights should have had the upper hand?

Only recently did I upgrade from a cheap chinese ebay "no-pod" to a proper Apple iPod - I have since learned that iTunes is a big load of bloat-ware sheep crap that is only installed on PC my when I need to update my iPod music library. And then uninstalled again afterwards...

Since then, I have seen all of the wankers out there shoving their iPhone in my face and telling me how awesome and special they are, but I don't buy into it.

I have managed to destroy my bosses iPhone by dropping it (once) yet, my nokia has been hurled at the ground at least 10 times and still works...

I'm not anti-mac, but I am against having to have shit installed that I don't want or need. And that seems to be the thing that mostly shits me about Apple stuff.

However...

I am seriously looking into the iPad as soon as I can get my hands on one.

And there is a serious chance that we will make AE86DC iPad friendly in time.

Who else will be splashing out on the iPad?
