I was running Norton or McAfree. Don't really remember. The motherboard failed on it.

To state that people buy Apple product because they look good is the stupidest thing you have ever posted (almost). The simply perform better and offer more features.

Am I mistaken or didn't you use an antiquated model?

Compatibility with what???

I don't like the fact that previous version chargers and accessories won't work with newer version phones. Fucking apple just use micro usb like everyone else.

The iPhone, iPod and iPad have used the same cables since inception with iPod being the exception to the rule UNTIL the introduction of the iPhone.

iPhone 5 will have a new port and it's a PITA.

That's retarded.

It was an iphone 4. It didnt work with any wireless printer ive come across. Even to date, all our tv's that have usb inputs obviously wouldnt mirror like my droid was able to. Now with my photon i can even stream HD video. Pretty cool stuff. Plus android compatible stereos are so much easier to use the apple ones. No shuffle, no folder searching, just song after song. Which is really a pain when you have a couple thousand songs. I still have my ipods, but they're more beater song devices now. My photon absolutely blows the iphone out of the water with song quality. Shit it even trumps my other mp3 players, so much so i dont even want to use them. My walkman 8gb was my favorite for working out cause its tiny and i havnt touched it because of how much better it sounds.
Plus i like 3rd party apps.

That's why you have to Jailbreak your iPhone/iPod/iPad. You can do so much more with it that way. Only downside is there is more work to doing system updates, but that's because most of the updates are to stop you from jailbreaking. I like my 4S a lot better now that it's jailbroken.

I'll take a phone i dont have to fuck with and works out of the box with stuff i KNOW its going to work with

Spot on. It's anyone's race with new phones to market ad to which one will have the most compatibility. But jail breaking the iPhone makes it the best, most versatile device out the. Period.

A decade in the industry helps you form an educated opinion :)
