Here is the truth.
I stayed away from Apple for a long time because they made an inferior product. At work (interactive ad agency) the macs were crashing regularly and were slow as dog.
In the last 2 to 3 years Apple made a brilliant move. They crated the iPod. It was cool, pretty and reliable. They also had more impressive products to follow - iPod Touch and the iPhone. Again, theses were pretty, cool, enjoyable to use and reliable.
Couple these great new products with superior advertising and Apple just won a huge new group of fans. It was truly brilliant.
I work on an iMac (Windows 7 though), I have an iPod touch and two iPhones. But I am not a fan boy. I use the tool that works best. So while I think Apple will continue to dominate the portable music department, they may soon lose out in the other markets due to their "closed" nature.
