I have to use a PC at work, but prefer my mac on my free time.
Nuance, please enlighten me regarding a non-functional Iphone4? Unles you are referring to the the drop of the signal if the antena elements are conected with left hand, I am suprised. That problem, btw, is common for most of the smartphones (according to apple )
While I have not yet made the leap to Mac (just wary of s/w that may not be usable on Mac, actually not sure how many of that I use are there), Apple sure makes usability a key aspect of their products and few products come close to replicating its ease and usability. iPod / iPhone 3GS are products that once I used them I pretty much shut my eyes to anything not from Apple subsystem. Yes they are not perfect, but they are the closest of all there is out there (at least by the criteria important to me). Usability across products is EXTREMELY helpful, so I don't have to manage different things in different ways. Same itunes playlists are available on all products seamlessly, so I dont have to create different versions for computer / ipod / iphone / ipod for car. As people have noted, it just works.
Sonos is the only other product I have encountered so far that seems to get it. It just works. While I was setting it up, my wife was quite wary of everything wireless. In 2 days of usage, she was a convert. Small attention to details set it apart from SB from what I have read. E.g. if I have 3 zones in the house, it is very easy to link them to play same song across all zones. SB is not difficult - maybe just 2-3 clicks more, but Sonos is just easier. SB is known not to have completely synced music across zones, Sonos is perfect. If you want to change volume of all three zones, in SB you have to go to each zone separately and change it; in Sonos it is available in one screen. How much of a premium one is willing to pay for such things is of course a personal preference, but over the years I have gone from tinkering with everything to using products that just let me enjoy what I want when I want.
Now back to waiting for the SongTowers
