How many of you own a Apple Gadget? any future plans?

Big No. But I won iPad explorer from TipRadar, which makes me ask myself what does it make use of?
So, I guess I should buy an iPad in the future.

I have a question, which one should be chosen for the pair below?
Buying a desktop PC and a MacBook or buying an iMac and a laptop PC?

What exactly does iPAD explorer do? I own the iPad 2 and that sounds interesting. Is it an app for iPAD or a program you put on your PC to explore the iPAD?

AS far as buying a MAC, I would if the price point were there. They make good, innovative products. Their biggest drawback is their price point. You can get a more powerful PC for less money than a MAC and a PC gives you more compatibility with hardware and software. Apple does their best to "Lock you in" to their products and makes you buy Apple upgrades and hardware instead of 3rd party.

I am not one who bashes Apple or MAC, I think they make outstanding products and innovations. But when it comes to a PC vs. a MAC, I believe you get more value for your money with a PC and more compatibility.

But if you were to put a MAC and a PC side by side with the same specs, price point, and compatibility, I would probably choose a MAC for my next computer.
