I put iMessage into the same bucket as facetime, where Apple seems to think they invented video calling from a phone too.

Just remember once you are Apple'd you are always Apple'd!

Now I am glad I chose Android, at least I "own" my phone and my destiny.
That's a brilliant example of what pisses ppl off. In most cases it's not the "technology" or even bugs. A lot of Apple haters love their idevices, many in this thread including me. It's the overwhelming arrogance in up front non disclosure of control issues (media,data etc) and the utter lack of redably available assistance in the form of simple help files on the device for instance Every problem one has on apple device is an absolute ****fight.
