I've never been an Apple 'fan', preferred to buy PCs because I build my own, but somehow I've ended up with an iPad 3, Macbook Air and I just bought an iPhone 4S. This is my first smartphone, been using a flipphone for about 7 years. And I was a latecomer to cell phones, got my first one at 26.
I agree that their build quality is amazing, and I love my iPad, but my PC with Windows 7 still dominates all other electronics.
