Widgets are handy to be honest, especially widgets like calendars (rather than shite like Facebook status updates etc) - unlock phone, calendar is already on the home screen showing my next meeting/appointment etc.
The only thing i really really like on the iPhone is the Element home screen app, but it does require the phone to be jailbroken - it makes looking at stocks, calendars, miss calls, texts, emails etc a lot easier.

Jobs is getting comebacks from everyone over this, although they've made loads of money, it isn't all quite as rosy as they make out it seems, a lot of bending the truth as usual.

I'm sure I read somewhere that he doesn't actually pay any dividends to his shareholders - just keeps the money in the bank so that Apple can keep researching/releasing new shit/gadgets (delete as appropriate) without having to borrow any money.

His own personal fortune, apparently, is amassed from the millions of shares he owns in Disney and not from his $1 monthly salary in Apple...

In all honesty I do think some Apple products are quite slick, but I don't know how much longer they can justify raping people's bank accounts for when selling their products - fuck paying £700/£800 for what is essentially a 13" laptop for example!

iTunes is awful... under windows. And I agree I thought it was shite, when I had an ipod under windows I used winamp with an addon to sync it.
iTunes under mac is a different story, it's brilliant.
