I will be the first to say I love Apple’s products. I own an iMac, MacBook and iPhone. My mom also has an iMac and we have various iPods in the household. I could make a list of all of my favorite products, but that would be too easy. So here are some of what I think are the worst:
Take the mighty mouse for example. I think the wired version is a terrible, terrible mouse. It weighs nothing and gets caught in the cord constantly. The trackball on it gets clogged very easily while other mice do not have this problem. It’s also grossly overpriced. How many do I own? 3.
Let’s also look at the tv. Add DVR and a Blu-ray player and you’ve got yourself a device that’s top notch. The tv does none of these things. It relies entirely on a plugged in hard drive or a wireless network. Seems like a lot of trouble to go.
Some people also complain that iTunes is one of Apple’s worst products. I don’t agree with this because it’s speedy on a Mac but apparently it’s painfully slow on a Windows machine. Shameless plug: buy a Mac.
Also on the worst list: iMovie 8. This app totally stripped iMovie of the advanced capabilities and focused more on the beginner. This is not at all a bad thing, except its shiny interface is sculpted more to the advanced user which confuses the target audience. Good move? Not so much.
Coming soon: My favorite third party applications (most of which are free!)

I am Anti-Apple simply because their products are over-priced & have loads of errors
honestly I bought 2 iPods..
Mini iPod [the first ever one] in which I got problem with its battery just 14 months after I bought it!
and
iPod shuffle now which has a massive problem with uploading songs
I am so brainwashed to buy the new iPhone 3G now and praying to get a decent product from apple finally!
So…. you’re anti Apple, but you’ve bought two of their products (voluntarily) and are committing yourself to buy the next iPhone?
Read your post again and find for us, the enlightened reader, how you get to ‘anti Apple’ from there.
