The nature of computing has fundamentally changed. Computers aren't what they were in the 1990s or early 2000s, when everybody bought beige Dell boxes. Now, computers are a means of communication, social interaction, work, play, and everything in between. The iPhone Era has ushered in the changes that were, for the most part, always expected. Give the software a year to catch up. You've certainly heard the rumors that the next release of Mac OS X will be Cloud-based. And there are lots of little things you can't see, but point to the future: OS X's undocumented loader for portable executables; system-space execution for 64-bit apps; enormous resources being devoted to development of multi-touch drivers by Apple. Buying a 1st Gen device is always a risk. But Apple is positioning themselves as the great middleman between you and the Cloud; they are the toll-booth collector. Recommendation: buy Apple stock.
