My first smart phone was a Nokia 6600 back in 2003, I have only used smart phones since, I do not have an iphone and frankly would never bother to get one, this is personal choice and opinion dont want any flames here, I had an ipod touch when they first came out used it alot good little gadget, for me the iphone is the same thing except it does calls and sms etc, the OS is not much different on the iphone ipad or itouch, so for me it not "inavative" or "magical" in any way, I have been a Nokia fan for a long time and still am, but lately they have fallen off the track with smart phones so I got myself a Nexus one, love it its a great device, I have an ipad because basicaly I like the device or idea use it allot and there is nothing out there currently like it, but as soon as there is an Android or Nokia tablet I will get one and pass this to someone else, like I said this is my opinion only. for me these are gadgets nothing more.
my $0.02 cents. (Canadian) ehh
