I'm no Apple fan but I do have one weakness: their keyboards. I'm using an one of the older Apple wireless keyboard, I find it very confortable to type and the layout comes very natural (no useless keypad and the left control almost on the same row with 'a' does wonders).
Unfortunately some genius thought hard about what USERS need and made caps lock keypress longer in order to avoid accidental slip-ups. Being a vi mode addict I've remapped my Caps Lock as an Esc key, so now I'm stuck with buying only older models just to avoid hacking my way around their carefully thought feature (no hard switch exists).
If any of you faced similar problems and found a replacement I'd me more then willing to try them out!
Then there's work, where you need to keep in touch with remote teams/colleagues. Years ago Skype was the best tool for casual VOIP calls, and that stuck in the professional environment, especially in middle-to-large sized companies.
It won't be easy to escape the Skype curse, or not until a better alternative proves itself.

Who else said, "wait, is that Ali G?"
As I trust Wikipedia 100%, they are surely cousins :D
As long as they avoid the Android style fragmentation / lack of support for the older phones I'm waiting for more news on this!
