No forum is safe from Apple wars... 
I know this is falling on deaf ears, but...yet again you are singling out Apple. Microsoft has sued every single Android hardware maker, and they are almost all paying massive subsidies to Redmond. Motorola just forced Apple to stop selling iPhones in Germany because they claimed Apple was infringing a patent that has been declared FRAND. Samsung is trying to do the same, and the EU has now started an anti-trust investigation into them because of it. Oracle is suing Google over java patent infringement. Everyone is doing it. Are you going to stop buying products by anyone that sues over patents?
And I repeat, Apple haven't sued Microsoft or RIMM, because they are doing innovative things with their phones (well, Microsoft it), rather than copying stuff. If Google/Samsung/LG/etc innovated instead of copying there would be no lawsuits. It's very simple to change the software do all things in a slightly different way, instead of copying it wholesale. Apple is encouraging innovation and discouraging lazy wholesale copying.
As for iTunes, why would you need to use it? Everything is in the cloud now. I don't need to plug my iDevices into the computer, and I don't need to load iTunes. Anyway, iTunes was always better than the crappy applications that came with other MP3 players and cell phones - especially that horrible Verizon VCAST crap that I had to install for the last phone I had before the iPhone.
Also, Android phones always have crapware from Verizon/AT&T/whoever installed on them, which you usually can't uninstall without rooting your phone - I believe I just saw a post from you complaining about it. iPhones never have and never will allow that to happen.
