US$200 is pretty cheap for what IS a computer, in your pocket, with full Internet, the real Web and not the shoddy version for cellphones.

They take care with (beautiful) design, and the function is pretty damned superb. As said above, you can have all the right-click you want on a Mac.

I can honestly say that I have not had a Mac crash in the past 8 years, since OS X.
Get out of the 90's.
iPhone isn't perfect, but it's a damned marvellous device. The worst part is being tied to AT&T's terrible network in the US, but that won't be forever- and on WiFi, it is superfast, a pocket Mac with full Internet, wherever you go.
Greg, enjoy it.
