There are none however there are a ton of reasons not to. It doesnt get any more honest and truthful than below.

WHAT PEOPLE DONT REALIZE ABOUT APPLE
Back in the day (the early 70s), the first home computers became available to the public. There were Ataris, Apples, Commodores, Radio Shack Tandys, etc. No ones software would run on any of them as the architecture was different on every one of them. You had to buy software for your PC from the company that manufactured it. This quickly became a problem for the upcoming software market. A consortium was held and everyone decided to make their systems compatible so the software market could blossom. Everyone EXCEPT Apple. Apple went on their own way with their proprietary system that would run nothing anyone else programmed. You had to buy most of your software from Apple. Apple applied this philosophy for 35 years. In that 35 years, they only cornered never more than 5 percent of the computer buying market. In the last year, Apple has introduced a new system that uses intel chipsets. The reason plain and simple? Apple was going down the tubes. Their fix? Make their computers more compatible with the burgeoning computer market. Unfortunately, you buy their already overrated, overpriced, incompatible Mac and then spend money to convert it to run windows. What they DONT tell you? That a good lot of software STILL wont run on it simply because you cant upgrade it to run the latest software. You want to upgrade a Mac? You buy a new Mac! EVERY other PC manufacturer is compatible with the 3rd party hardware manufacturers, Mac, no way! The PC hardware market itself makes for competitive prices. This in turn creates lower prices for the computer buying market. Apple? They STILL dont come close. I’ve been in the business since it started, I spent my life programming machines with windows software. I could write a bible on what doesnt run on a mac that runs on windows! The measure of a computers power is what it CAN run and Apple doesnt come close to hi end, engineering software. The myth that Apple is better in the creativity field is a joke too. For every Mac application, I can show you a half dozen for PCs that are the same or better.

Question by ignore_nuthin: What is the major difference between iPhone and the Samsung Instinct?
I was going to leave sprint for AT&T only for the iphone. I have no issues with service, just want a cool phone. I can get the Instinct for $ 129, the iphone for $ 199. Both have rate plans that start at $ 70, so why would I leave Sprint now?

Besides the 2GB mem on Instinct vs. 8GB on iPhone, what can the iPhone do the instinct can’t? Zoom in?

News Update: AT&T CEO Admits Apple’s iPhone Is Major Sales Driver, But Says Customers Are Locked In

Posted on by

While at an investor conference sponsored by Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), AT&T (NYSE:T) Chief Executive, Randall Stephenson, acknowledged that Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 4 is driving “a lot” of its smartphone sales, or what he referred to as “integrated devices.” He added that these sales are locking many customers into long-term contracts that will not end if Apple’s iPhone goes to another carrier. Stephenson said, “If you look at the iPhone base, about 80% is either on a family-talk plan or in a business relationship with us.” He went onto say, “Those customers tend to be very sticky. They don’t churn very frequently.” The possibility of losing AT&T’s exclusive contract with Apple has been a major topic of concern for many T investors, especially as the quality of its service has received heavy criticism in recent months. Stephenson also said that about two-thirds of the current iPhone customer base already was with AT&T before getting the device. While details of the contract between Apple and AT&T have never been publicly disclosed, it is widely projected by many Wall Street analysts that Apple’s iPhone will move to another carrier like Verizon (NYSE:VZ) by early next year. Stephenson said the smartphone market has further room for growth. SmarTrend is bullish on shares of AT&T and our subscribers were alerted to buy on July 26, 2010 at .88. The stock has risen 11.1% since the alert was issued.
