I like Macs and if I were spending more time on the road I might see the iPhone as something more than an expensive toy that happens to make phonecalls.  But the sheer volume and tone of responses to my assertion that it's a toy and not a serious device for creating or even editing content (as you rightly pointed out) made me think I'd perhaps accidentally said something about their mothers.

i-Paddicts... Such devotion to a corporation makes me scratch my head.
