I had a Mac at work along side my Wintel. It crashed just as often and was actually harder to configure because everything was so hidden. I have had lots of friends break their iPhones dropping them. I've dropped my Droid at least 2 dozen times (on concrete) with no detrimental effects. The Apple thing is all hype in my opinion. They charge you a lot more for about the same thing.
