[Ubuntu-ch] OT: iPhone [was: Re: ZH RP (p)reviews at the Ubuntu Meeting]

uncritical info is the topic in the last weeks. I had some very controverse
articles in my blog ... Apple devices are religious stuff :-)

Unfortunately the FreeRunner is far away from the mass market. I wanted to
have one but there are many internal problems with the project management.
When the software will be ready, it will be two hardware generations
behind.

My wife is a typical end user, not a techie. I convinced her to change from
Mac OS X to Ubuntu. She is happy now.

Where are other "typical" end users?

Why do you (or me) use Ubuntu?

What do we tell our neighbours, colleagues, ...?

Cheers
