Survey finds most iPhone owners aren't Mac users

thats cuz all the mac owners are broke after purchasing their macs.... they can't afford an iphone too!

No. Wrong. iPhone runs on OS X, not Mac OS X. Not the same thing.

I switched from T-Mobile DASH to iPhone (Unlocked 1.1.4 and ZiPhone is the software that unlocks it) I got the iPhone after a month it was launched, activated it on Pay-as-you-go account, then waited for the unlock methods. since then I am on iPhone.

By profession and as a Hobby, I am the Software Architect, you can check out my iPhone Pic (running on T-Mobile) at http://www.Flickr.com/mudassirazeemi

The number 1 use is email? Is this really just an Apple iPhone feature? If you switched from a standard cell phone to a smart/media phone that could do email and really liked this feature then yes I could see the number 1 use would be email be it from a Blackberry (we all know someone that is addicted to Blackberry email), Windows Mobile, Apple, Android, Symbian, Palm, Brew, etc...

Then again this survey is suppose to support the popularity of the iPhone and not the usefulness of smart/media phone in general. As most of these questions could be asked in general in the use of these types of phones.

I don't understand how part of this makes sense. 40% of respondents switched from a smartphone. That means 60% didn't, so they didn't have a smartphone (at least for some significant amount of time) before buying the iPhone. So this 60% probably have increased their mobile browsing. Yet according to this survey, there is at least a mysterious 5% of the sample that used mobile browsing more before they had a smartphone. Is the Razr browser that much better than mobile safari?

"1 out of 10 users reported "hand pain" after use"

How???? I cant figure out a single way that it hurts after/ while I hold it.

1 out of 10 users probably hold the iPhone upside down too.... idiots

I still don't see the argument of the iPhone being a more expensive plan. Maybe it is if you didn't have a smartphone before with a data plan. I pay $20 less per month than I did with my BlackJack.

Well if you are a grown up person that supports their self and is NOT on a family plan. You have to pay "big boy" prices without mommy's help.

$80 to $100 seems to be the norm for people with their own plans. I however, have managed to get it down to 66 bucks a month because I just cut out a bunch of features I don't use all the time and have a small amount of text messages.

I know I don't fit the demographics. I'm over 50 and I've already owned the 8g iPhone and then the 16g. I also have a 60gb video iPod. I have to use 2 phones a sprint Treo 700wx for my job. I'm waiting to dump the Treo as soon as the new Exchange feature is launched.

"Almost half had changed their carrier, but only 13% had unlocked their iPhone"?
Does that mean "Almost half changed to AT&T so they could legally use their iPhone"?
