I'm not trying to convince you of anything other than the fact your arguments have gone from paper thin, to factually incorrect, to ridiculous.
Go ahead make a list and please put them into content with the rest around them so don't pick one line out of a whole comment.

I'm not a pro-Apple person. I have owned an iMac, iPod and iPhone but don't anymore. I'm not so blinkered though, to suggest that their products are useless.
Great for you Robbie and I've not said such a thing.

And as someone who has a lot of daily contact with mobile phones, promoting the HTC (Touch) Diamond as a great device is quite laughable. The same goes for anything based on the WinMo platform.
And I have not said it either, but please show me where I said it though and I'll stand corrected.

ps. maybe the way you read my comments make it all sound ridiculous to you, sorry that I write so strange then I'll write in Dutch for you from now on if that helps?

I'm not sure you can use printer profiles with Elements. Certainly with E6 you can't.
You may have a clash between Elements and the printer though - each trying to manage the printing. Set Elements up to allow the printer to manage the printing if you haven't already.
I also use Photoshop.

The clashing is true and therefore you need to select ICM option in the printer drivers that way the printer is obedient to the software.

I don't know if you can select profiles in elements but since it's quite a serious program I think you can though.
When you say print there should come a window up with the options with what you can do, it should be there if you can do it.

I've not experienced it myself and I'm skeptical, but some users believe that SR sometimes introduces blur. Some also believe that the latest firmware (unpublicised update) helps to fix the "problem".

SR takes a while to activate. The icon only appears when SR is ready. It shouldn't flash.
The first is in relationship with the second.

If the SR is not ready and you press the button then in introduce motion blur since the sensor is trying to get ready while you press the curtains open.

The update was there to speed up the process that the SR gets ready.

If the SR is working properly then it does make a difference in long exposures.

We have Mac's on school and I've worked on them, and I've played with the iPhone several times and at least the iPhone can't impress me.
You talked about content but I can't see the value of most of that content because the quality is pretty low.

The argument about Apple being in charge of everything they do: is a great concept to me, and one that you choose to buy into or not. I love the fact that they have created an operating system that is so secure it does not require anti virus software to be installed by the user. Microsoft on the other hand, have somehow "brainwashed" the masses into thinking that it's ok to have an operating system that is not secure and requires YOU to buy/install extra anti-virus once you've got your product home. If you were sold a house that had no locks on the doors or windows, and a burgler lurking outside, would you not complain? So why not complain about an operating system that is suseptable to viruses?
Okay it might surprise you then that there are viruses for the Mac then and even Apple advice you to use a virus protection program now a days...
His success has make it a bigger target and the believe of the users that they are save for it makes them even more ideal, almost non of you have a virus scanner so if just one virus spread himself a bit better then the rest how long do you think it would take most of you would have it. Really get a viruses scanner and not just for yourself but also for others since even if Mac is immune for PC virus they can still spread it.
Don't get me wrong MAC is a very secure system but to think it's 100% bulletproof against viruses is a big mistake.

Also jail braked iPhone have viruses now so that's also only a matter of time and it's also getting worth your time as virus maker to invest in getting a virus on the iPhone.

Also funny to say if you read some comments here then some think the Apple users are brain-washed, I don't think so though at least not the users here since you know what you buy it for but for example many of my school mates have an iPod just because there friends have one, but hey those will follow every hype so they are irrelevant and I would not want to discuss that matter since it's quite pointless.
Also I've stated why I don't use Apple products a few pages ago so look it up if you want and want to discuss that.
What you think is great I don't think is so great and we probably never going to agree while we would agree with almost any point but our priorities simply lay a bit different.

About the reader, that's just a feature.
My phone and many other HTC can detect tilt, I'll look for it on the web to see if there is something like that, I'm sure some would have thought it would be handy to have on a smartphone and copy it.

What's so wrong on having an opinion, things I said aren't really that different I do have blow some things up and you proved things weren't so black and white or right that I suggested and well that is logical of course.

Also it brings a smile on my face how 4 people now are trying to convince me how good Apple is.
Still like I said before in page 3 (or 2) that it seems you buy the rights to use the device not own it is something I do not agree too and if that don't change then no Apple products for me, and it's not that they are bad products it's just that, nothing more nothing less.
Like said I'm thinking of putting OSX on my PC because I see the possibilities of the OS but I do it on PC and not on a Mac for that reason. Also since iPhone does not give you something over a smartphone I don't have a reason to get one.
And I love to thinker with my PC and with MAC you are getting problems with that and the same is true for computers of other companies since they seal there computers now a days.
On my smartphone I now also run some software to go a bit deeper into the device and you can do great things with that, Apple would get me arrest for such things

Danny, we have more in coming then that you think if you forget the money matter in your last comment though.
I only have an HTC and keys in my pocket and that's more then enough.

I did have a look at the Cowon S9 and almost bought one in the shop but I bought the DA*50-135 at that time, a far better choice in my opinion

When I bought my HTC diamond I could have waited a month and went for the iPhone who would then be at sale, I must say at the time I've done the right thing. The content on the iPhone was limited and they were giving developers a hard time allowing products on their device and then the connection problem came up. They first blamed the GSM net for it but later it became know it was the iPhone, the antennae was okay I believe it where some protocols if I remember correctly.
I remember a school mate of my had almost no internet in the train while I had internet for almost the whole trip.
The iPhone seemed to have aged properly or are they still weak with their connection, I thought they have solved it and the quality of the content has grown quite a bit only good news for you users but I got everything I need so no reason to jump ship and iPhone hardly offer something more.
Well yes they do offer something more but not something that I need or want.

But aren't we going very of topic here, we were talking about the iPad right?

I was toying with the idea that it isn't so far fetch that you could be able to have a dual boot with Linux, for me this make it a lot more interesting device since the hardware and styling of it do look very good and the limited OS is great for when you're on the road.
Although Apple probably have some rules that don't allow you to do that... if they write it in the EULA like they are doing now then of course that isn't a problem for some

If I open a book as a PDF Stefan, and I tilt the screen, will it automatically scroll down at the same rate I am reading it? I don't think so. That is what I like about e-books rather than a PDF.
Huh how does it know how fast you read?
if you mean auto-scrolling then yes that's standard with PDF reader and if your phone has the sensor needed it will automaticly make it portrait or landscape.

I think you are getting confused with my comment about syncing. I said that Apple DO NOT dictate what I sync and when. This may be the same with other systems, but I was simply pointing out that there is a choice.
Ah okay, that's much better then I thought

Danny I've no idea what you're going to with those games?
Yes they might be fun but not something I would buy an iPhone for... sorry.

Once again an apple standard, if I don't want Itunes on my pc I'm pretty much useless...

You get me a bit wrong there, if I want I can get Shakespeare on my phone so why is it so special?

Unlocker wrote:
yes everything you mention is possible on other platforms, but I don't have to open a browser and login to sync bookmarks for example
wait you got that bit wrong, it's just there as well between devices but what if you want to sync without that you've a device with you then you can sync it over the web without installing anything.

All in all it's fine what it can do it's nothing wrong with it but still it does not offer something special that's life changing, instead of you forcing to use Apple but well Microsoft has the same problem a bit differently but still there

So basicly why should I buy an Iphone instead of something else?
If you name app then name some really useful apps.

Tim it seems everything is about iTunes now.

You can just download whole CD's or songs and videos from amazon for example, so I don't know what you mean with searching?
