    Will take time till Android matches the market share of IPhone that way.

      See, it's funny because if there were only 50 Mac users then their average contribution to Apple's revenues for the last fiscal quarter would be $245 million. In case you were wondering, that will buy you 245,000 entry level MacBooks, or one seriously decked-out Mac Pro.

      Yes, and nothing says quality like market share. That's why Windows is widely acknowledged (especially around here) to be the best OS ever, and McDonald's to be the greatest cuisine of all time. :)

    They all have a lowercase i in them.

    that is really too bad, i like keyboards.

    [Marketing-exec]No, I'm sure you're just confused. Yes, you're familiar with keyboards. Yes, the tactile feedback can be exceedingly useful. Yes, it means you're not hiding what you're about to click on. Yes, it means your screen doesn't get greasy. But what you really want is a touch-screen. It's what we're designing our phones with, because "customers" want it, and you're a customer so you must want it.[/Marketing-exec]
