The iPhone is a product (not even released) that should be a starting point
to new kinds of technological use. I will not buy it soon (a Motorola C155
that WORKS in my country is good enough for 4+ years). But later on, IF the
platform is open enough, it may be preferable than a Mac Mini or even a
MacBook. Hey, I don't even have a Mac (though I've saved 2/3 of the iMac
cost) =P

It's not about Apple being or not great, (since it's preferences) that will
always be debatable. It's that there's not even ONE direct hardware+software
design+engineering PC competitor (ie: like Sun if Solaris was made for
general computing use, not servers) to Apple...

Ubuntu is "getting there" in the OS, but what about hardware?
