One of my reasons for having iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) is the huge amount of support everywhere.

Car makers have iPod/iPhone support built in. From BMW having controls and display built into the steering wheel, to Toyota having a jack in the center console to tie to the radio. You don't see that with Samsung and other makers trying to capture a chuck of this market.

My Hyundai Elantra supports my Samsung Galaxy S in those same ways just fine, I've also tried with other Android phones and it works just as well.

In my own house I use the Apple Airplay system to wirelessly send music from my computer and my devices to my home stereo. That's really kinda fun when there is company over. Music streaming from the computer to the stereo to the outdoor speakers. My wife asked me to go in and turn it down a little so we could all talk. I picked up my phone which was already on the 'Remote' application and turned it down. Everyone stared like I had grown a second skull.

You can, and I do, do this with Android too.
In Topic: Soda Tax

Posted 8 Sep 2011

The "soda tax" here covers all beverages that aren't water, brings the total tax on the item to 12.75% (9.75 + 3%), beverages that are water are taxed 9.75% + $0.05 a bottle. We're taxed on everything, it doesn't deter people from buying anything.
