After a few weeks with Snow Leopard
I must say that I've been enjoying the speed boost that Snow Leopard gave me overall when using my Mac, however a few programs (eg VMWare Fusion) felt a little jumpy after the upgrade.
Unless an application tells me about an available upgrade, I tend not to visit vendors websites regularly to check for updates and so have been running a number of applications which where slightly outdated. I suggest to any Mac owner to download the free AppFresh application - as it takes the pain out of keeping all your applications up-to-date. It searches for all applications installed on your machine, and checks the version number to those found on iUseThis.com. If a new version is identified, you can tell the program to try and automatically download and install the relevant update file.
A great little timesaver, and very useful for making sure your applications are working best with Snow Leopard.

Why I havn’t made the switch to the iPhone
About a year ago I made the switchover from using a PC as my main computer to a MAC. Although I still need to return back to windows to use a few programs like Visual Studio and SQL Server - my day-to-day tasks are completed using OSX.
I used to be a Windows Mobile fanatic too, from my first Toshiba e400 PDA to the last HTC TyTnII I enjoyed the vast number of applications available for the platform, and the easy cusomization that was achievable. However, I became frustrated with software slowdown and poor device interaction (rubbish touch screen capability, having to poke at everything with the stylus).
I bought my first blackberry 6 months ago, a Bold, and find it excellent for keeping up with emails and texts. The thing that makes me think twice about buying another blackberry is the that the webbrowser is very poor - only do I fire it up if I'm very desperate. Also, O2 UK doesnt allow access via the APN gateway on a blackberry contract (unless I pay extra per mb of use) and so the number of applications that I seem to be able to use are quite limited (please - if I have something setup wrong and I'm missing a trick - let me know!).
A few months ago I wanted to upgrade to an iPhone, as my contract had expired. After having a play around with a friends and drewling over units in the Apple Store, I rang the o2 upgrade line and enquired about getting the device. I was told that if i upgraded to the device, I would need to pay the full price for my contract (because I have been a loyal O2 customer for many years, my monthly bill has been reduced), and that no offers are available on the iPhone (or the Palm Pre when it come out) because O2 has exclusivity on the devices. I really oppose paying more for a contract, even though I'm getting the same number of minuites, texts and internet useage.
So for the moment I'm saying boohoo to the iPhone - I'll stick with the good ol' Blackberry and hopefully O2 might become more gernous someday.
