6. Fanyboyism. There is no worthwhile apple community, apple users contribute nothing, and the company does it all, and charges you. You'll be expected to uphold the companies mantras and hide their epic failures and mistakes.
1. apple apps can get expensive, n900 apps are free.
This kind of attitude is going to kill the next device as well. Keep at it.

Issues? Would you like to name a few?

The iphone partially came out of the success of the ipods.

You are talking about basic device sort of functionality on an n900 forum? Get out of here

First and foremost is that Steve Jobs is always right, and you may only use your apple device how he says. Lets say someone else writes better software to replace itunes on your PC(like winamp did), your iphone will find out and stop working if you use it. Apps get denied because apple doesn't like the content. Apps can only be written on a Macintosh. Apps cost money, and installing apps not specifically written for the iphone is prohibited.
How was Woodstock this year?

There is no worthwhile apple community? There are many and the users contribute to the largest mobile appstore at 200, 000 apps. At least get your facts right fanboy.
I vote this to be the best trolling/windup thread I've seen here in a while!
*Thread Starter made the one post and just enjoys the show
*Anyone can see there is no answer that will satisfy all
*Question guarantees conflict
*Truly a waste of bandwidth

True (and thus reported), but there are some pretty good posts to be found here between the fanboy-anti-fanboy wars, so despite the original intent of this thread I'm not sure this is really such a big waste of bandwidth.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion. But I can't imagine choosing between them!
They're.......so........different!

Neither can I...
But there are lots of people out there who don't know that, yet, and despite it originally being a trolling thread, there are some rather helpful posts in here to make realising the difference between the two easier for those not yet familiar with both devices.
