Personally I'd long since reached the same conclusion as Dick, i.e. that
I really shouldn't buy any more Apple products.
That said, I won't stand in the way of anyone else (including my wife)
buying them.
My reasons include their litigious patent suit stuff, but that's just
piece. I'm also voting with my feet against their heavily walled garden
approach to applications for the iPhone and iPad -- and whatever else
they can force in that direction apparently (e.g. shipping the Mac Mini
without a CD/DVD drive and trying to nudge it in the same direction...).
I see Apple as the new Microsoft -- but worse in that with Microsoft you
were always free to produce and market your app in their effective
monopoly space (Windows) whereas Apple doesn't want you to have that
much freedom.
