Props to Apple for beautiful products and creating entire categories. It is ridiculous how innovative was the iphone and the whole mobile revolution that started with it.
The products are expensive, but I'd spring for them. But I absolutely do not like the Apple restrictions on pretty much everything. I won't use Itunes because I rip to flac, not to the Apple lossless codec. I don't want to search fruitlessly for ways to play my flac rips, when Apple approved products mostly don't support it.
I've got an Android tablet and I got 4 free players that all play flac, then settled on a $5 app that does that and more.
As with music, so with books. Proprietary ibook format.
Since XP, I've been OK with Windows, and I'm OK with Android. I won't be switching to Apple, and I don't expect I will ever need to do so, patents or no patents.
Apple sued Microsoft almost 20 years ago. Apple lost that time (mostly), but in the end, claims were negotiated and both companies prospered. I expect the same to happen here in the end. Android phones are making big big money and that can pay for years of litigation. This case has not ended the topic.
