Saturday my girlfriend asked me to take a pic on my iPhone and send it to our daughter. I told her I couldn't, so I had to do it on her Samsung Glyde. What a disgrace!

The nearly 3 decades of disputes over the use of the trademarked name "Apple" might have contributed to it in the past:

http://bit.ly/VXisT (wikipedia article on Apple Corps vs Apple Computer)

That dispute was finally resolved in 2007.
