I do like Apple stuff, but it is just so overpriced. They are so successful because they advertise their products as fashion items and they capitalize on that sort of mentality. It's just as bad as Alienware or Falcon-NW or any of the specialty PC companies. I mean, I guess you can build your own Hackintosh now... but Windows 7 is awesome, so yeah.
I have a Droid and I love it. I'm not one for tech-hopping though, so I'm unlikely to buy another phone until my contract is up. I just can't see dropping that much coin on a phone that really doesn't do anything more than mine.
Also I don't think I will ever buy an iPhone simply because iTunes might honestly be one of the worst pieces of software ever made. Go use Songbird or even Winamp. Jesus.
Also, Apple's large profitability comes from their domination of the MP3 player market more than their OS.

Well most consumer surveys show that Apple leads in quality and repair history, so they must be doing something right. I only own one Apple product and that is my 3GS, but I give Apple a lot of respect for growing the company the way they are and simultaneously keeping the quality high. See Toyota if you need an example of how to get too big for your own good.
