I find talking about apple products with people, feels like a religion debate.  I never understood why people buy any of their products, but to each his own.  But talking to my brother in law about why he likes them, he can't actually explain why, I think he just buys what he's advertised to.  So from my point of view, this image parody applies.

I suspect that you feel like you're having a religion debate because you take a religion-like standpoint on the issue.  You dismiss Apple products based on their Apple-ness.  This is no different conceptually than people who buy products simply because they are made by Apple. 

Anybody who cannot understand why someone would legitimately want an iPhone or an iPod is simply getting religious about it.  I mean . . . seriously . . . you don't think that Apple brought any innovation to the mobile music player market?  Are you mad?  You don't think Apple brought any innovation to the mobile phone market?  You don't think Apple brings innovation to the OS market (Windows 7's new amazing taskbar is an improved Mac OS Dock)?  It's kind of asinine to make fun of people who mindlessly buy Apple products if you are a person who mindlessly refuses to buy their products.  It's the same thing.

Oops!

Level42:
Amen, and can we keep this an iPad discussion please. Lot's of other places to vent your love/hate for Apple or any other brand.

I bought 3 of their products with my mind fully working, thank you. I enjoy using them every time.  But I'm _not_ religious about it.

RayB:
Well said Shmokes.

I've never bought any Apple product EVER, but after getting an Ipod Touch for my birthday I'm totally "sold" on it and the iphone.  I've compared sound quality between an Ipod and a Dell Axim, a Samsung mp3 cel phone, and a cheap generic mp3 player (hooked up to a newish Acura's stereo system). The Ipod won hands down.  I won't be switching to Macs and worshiping Steve Jobs any time soon, but I give credit where credit is due (which has won me accusations of "Fanboy" in this very thread).  :-\
