A new Hard Drive, none on Ebay. Because its probably the problem for my imac startup. After that an Ipod touch, then once I turn 18 and get a Job a Mac Mini.

[QUOTE=Ragy;31505899]Lion might be indexing your files. I get no lag as soon as I start up.[/QUOTE] Nah its been a good week now, still sluggish on startup. Takes twice as long as the core 2 duo model running Snow Leopard. Oh well, Multiple desktops is too good to pass up.
OS X 10.8.
If I can convince my company, a new iPhone. (On a 3gs currently) Other than apps, I don't give Apple my dollars.
Got a whole heap of work "incentive" gift cards piling up, so maybe a Mac Mini to host my stuff. Maybe.
Just posting here for the free box, don't mind me.

[QUOTE=chrishind10;31632345]I think the Mac mini has to be Apples biggest rip off to date, regardless of the size of the thing.[/QUOTE] For the specs and size, I don't think it's too bad of a price considering it's roughly the same as an iPad 2 in Australia. Default configurations that is - up speccing anything on the Apple Store requires payment in future babies and limbs.
I'm not after all this anti-competitive action they are taking against other manufacturers
I lol'd at the user rating everyone dumb. Key board warriors.
I get a free iPad in October. Thought eh, sell that. Now I think I could try tethering up with my DSLR and experiment with that. Any other nifty uses or apps you guys have?

That's the only possible use I'd have for an iPad.
Christ o mighty, the major reason of not wanting an iPad is iTunes. I despise it so much and having Spotify and iTunes conflicts a lot. By October iOS 5 will be out though I'd hope. I get free Wi-fi in London so I can do a lot of streaming out and about which would be nifty.

If you've already got a laptop or a decent instant messaging/web browsing device, I'd sell it.

Nope /delete I have that and a Galaxy S II, so I suppose I have little reason to keep it.

I was pushed over the edge by how Apple bind iTunes to launch by the play/pause media key. If this was an unintended mistake by Apple not to not include an option to remove this, that's OK, but if not, Apple has gone to far by forcing me to use specific applications. Tho, nothing a quick Google search can't fix. If anyone is looking for an iTunes replacement, Vox is extremely good.

[QUOTE=HubmaN;31648899]You sure it isn't just bound in the Keyboard prefpane?[/QUOTE] No, Apple provided no option to remove this without using a non-official way. There are large discussions complaining about this on Apples own [url=https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2122639?start=0&tstart=0]support forum[/url].
Nothing, that is my final answer forever.
I'm getting more and more convinced that I should buy a Macbook just to play WoW on because Windows is a turd to do anything on. And playing on Linux is more reliable, but not perfect. I'd just get whatever is cheap or even a used one on ebay if I'm desperate. [editline]11th August 2011[/editline] If I bought something brand new, it'd be the $999 Macbook Air, but that's a bit pricey for me, so maybe a Mac mini. Or I'll try to scrounge up a Gen or 2 old Macbook.

As long as you keep your computer on you'll have your whole movie collection on your iPad ready for watching without any manual converting needed. I cannot stress how brilliant it is.
Iphone 5 probably
Probably an iPod touch 5, since I'm selling my iPhone 3GS for a Galaxy S II but don't want to lose all the money I've invested in apps.

[QUOTE=WaLLy3K;31719907]What if you don't want to stream and rather have a local copy on your device for when you're out?[/QUOTE] Then it's obvious that you convert it yourself or if you have a 3g model you're still good to stream.
My iPhone is giving me way too many problems. I'm switching back to Android as soon as possible.
iPhone 5 for sure! I mean, for sure!!!
I don't plan on buying any Apple gadgets in the near future.
