Yes. I have 2. I no longer use them though except as storage devices.

Why did you buy them, given your luke warm feelings towards Apple ?

I still don't know what kind of company to call Apple.
Successful would be one thing. :up:  ( stock price  Nov  2003 =  $9.85     Nov 2010 = $ 317.00 )
Sony invented the Walkman  it was a success  but not like the iPod is a success.  And despite many attempts to copy the iPod nobody has done it
Apple didn't invent the cell phone but they made the iPhone, priced it higher than a kite and made it a success.  Now everybody is making an " iPhone" with touch screens and apps.  I mentioned the Tablet  PC before,  but only Apple has make it a success  ( iPad )everyone else has  failed.
Innovation is not only in the creation of a new and exciting product but the making the public think they need it. Apple seems to excel at the latter.

Innovation or marketing .   Whether Apple is innovative or not is a moot point.  Their MARKETING is superb. 
ie:  The iPad comes out -  sells millions  Every other major and minor electronics company is now coming out with a similar device.  Was Apple the first with a tablet ?  No  but they are the only ones who got the public to buy them.

A Qantas A380 passenger jet has landed safely in Singapore after a "mechanical issue" caused part of the engine to fall to the ground.

They have grounded ALL their A 380 aircraft       http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/05/world/asia/05qantas.html?_r=1&hp
