Switching to all Apple Hardware

I have been trying to streamline my digital life, since digital devices started to exist.  Recently a ton of new devices and computers have come out so I decided to redo things.

The funny thing is that the reason I chose to go with Apple in the end (iPhone and new 120 gig Air book) boiled down to one simple thing, entertainment.  A big part of my life is exercise, I like to go mountain biking or running at least 3-5 times per week.  While I am exercising I listen to a variety of podcasts.  I also carry my phone with me just in case I am needed for something.

So being able to listen to the podcast on the iPhone and with the same headphones take a call pushed me over the edge for Apple.

While Blackberry comes out with great phones I think that they are missing a key piece when it comes to entertainment (I know that I can rig it to do the same thing but out of the box it is not really there and all of my stuff is in iTunes).

I believe that entertainment in the end will drive a lot of the enterprise business to the iPhone, especially as it becomes a better device and I am not sure if it is something that Blackberry can defend against.
