“1. Syncing the iPhone. You can blame Apple for not supporting
Linux with a native version of iTunes. You can blame me for using
an iPhone. Both of those are irrelevant and silly, though. The fact
is that I do have an iPhone (and iPad), and the iPhone needs to be
physically connected to the PC and synced with iTunes in order to
update things like the actual iOS software.“Granted, Apple revealed that it is cutting the cord with iOS 5,
so as of this Fall this will no longer be an issue. But, as of
today, this would be one reason I wouldn’t–or couldn’t–just
switch to Ubuntu Linux.”
