It's amazing how comments are bashed if anyone brings up a negative about the Iphone. Using blackberries for the last 5 years and switching to a Iphone, there are things that both do well and poorly. Blackberry wins hands down on notifications, messaging, and customization of the operating system to your taste. Iphone wins hands down on web browsing, media, and the camera. The main reason I left the blackberry was for the web broswer. It is about the only thing to me that makes the Iphone shine above. I also enjoy being free of the IT dept and trapped with a IT policy through enterprise. Anyway, point being, I enjoy reading why someone may or may not leave a platform.hopefull copy dvd can solve itThe nook color is much more than an ereader. It is an Android Tablet with B&Ns skin and locked into thier store. Once root access is gained, you can install and use the entire Android Market. As I said, I have been using it side by side with an iPad for a few weeks now, and in 95% of the functions, I prefer the 7″ screen and the weight of the nook to those of the iPad. YMMV, but to blindly state that 7″ is too small to be productive is just as invalid as if someone were to say that 10″ is too big.
