I'd respond to the cloud storage point, but there wouldn't be a point really. Apple fanboys will always find a reason to try and prove why paying more money for less features is a good idea.

Insulting people really isn't the way to get your point across,

I'm not sure how I insulted anyone, unless the term fanboy is insulting. If that's the case, I apologize.

Duuuuuuuddddeeeeeee.........come on now, man up.

Of course you know it's insulting, that's why you used it.

Reminds me of someone from the South who once told me that she didn't realize that "yankee" was an insulting term

I see the term used all the time; often by those who use and love apple. I didn't rrealize it would be such an insulting term, so once again...I apologize.

No need to apologize to me I'm not a fanboy so Im not insulted

To address the cloud storage issue. It's the way things are moving, like it or not. SD cards, and physical media of all kinds, are on their way out. Simply the way it is. Same way the physical keyboard is on the way out. You don't have to like it, but you'd better get used to it.

As an aside, phone manufacturers don't include sd slots so that people can make backups, slide shows, power point presentations, etc. They include them so they can compete with the iphone. People expect to be able to carry the music and videos with them, and nobody is going to tolerate the 1gb internal memory that comes standard on most phones. Without an sd slot for their media, nobody would buy them.

Cloud storage? Is that where Lando keeps his wardrobe on Bespin? Oops. I guess I'm a fanboy...

And windows/etc fanboys will never understand why paying more money for less features is a good idea. We worship flexibility, why would anyone not want join us in our devotions to this oh so holy light?

The fundamental reason the arguments cannot be reconciled is because the conditions of victory are different, so even a "winning" argument from one side will forever be a "losing" argument to the other, simply because the goals are different.

While both sides make factually correct arguments, all they have done is prove that their camp is "the best" at what it does.... but since each camp has different goals, proving that your camp is "the best" only means you are better than other similarly themed camps.

FOR EXAMPLE, Windows Mobile VS Android is a fair comparison from which it is theoretically possible to obtain a clear winner. Bother are robust, complicated and OS's with significant flexibility, hackability, and features, so then you are comparing apples to apples and can determine a winner - in other words, an individual's purchasing decision is determined by which platform or phone is better.

BUT Comparing Android/Windows to iPhone is, IMO, comparing apples to oranges. Yes, they're both PDA phones, but if you really think about it, their fundamental philosophy and feature set are vastly different. In other words - an individual's purchasing decision is not made by comparing the two platforms or phones, it is made by comparing the two philosophy's and choosing which is better.

If you chose the philosophy of Apple, then the decision ends there (none other can compete).... and if you chose the philosophy of windows/android/etc, then you still have to dig into the details and decide on a specific device or platform within that philosophy (plenty of competition).
