This is what my friend says.
I can see how it looks easy to use and it could be intuitive but, if you actually wanted to get it done your way, instead of just clicking next over and over it is not easy to use and intuitive lol.

As for apple products in general, I've never owned an iPod before so I can't really comment. I'm not a massive fan of macs because although they are good for art and design, they aren't good for much else, which is essentially what a computer is for, to do lots of things on one thing. A swiss army knife of sorts, if you will.

As for the iPhone, I love it. It is easy to use, intuitive (although an instruction booklet would have been nice...). I like how it shows up in my computer straight away, with the little iPhone icon as well, which is nice. Shame you can't open it up and just drag and drop music in and out like that, would have made things simpler and allow you to use it to share music with friends, but still.
Easy to find out details such as firmware version and serial keycode.
Lots of applications for it.
The battery length is surprising as well, and if it increases the more you do full cycle charges, then even better.

The only thing I have a problem with is having to use iTunes, and how it works, and is laid out, how the options are laid out, how it sorts everything in one of the most retarded manners I've ever seen, how it skips some songs out randomly from cds when ripping/converting them over, and how it duplicates other songs.
And how loads of people have never had a problem with it because they are happy just clicking next over and over and insist its the best music program around.
