30% Apple

That's what I find so entertaining about these conversations.  I would
sooner expect my bank to give me a few extra days to make a payment than
expect Apple to leave money on the table.  They have a very large loyal
following, and still more that feel they're the best available options
for them, like me.

Android is simply not an option for me until they get their head (and my
data) out of the clouds and back on my own computer.  Windows Mobile 7
is visually much better, but they threw out major functionality like cut
and paste because it was almost 2 years late.  So Apple it is.  But
that's just me.

And RMS.
