56 Apple Alternatives

For Those who are Anti-iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and App Store

— June 30, 2010 — Tech
In a seemingly Apple-obsessed world, there are those who refuse to pray at the church of Steve Jobs--non-conformists who are desperately searching for Apple alternatives. Despite being a proud iPhone owner myself, I must admit there are some pretty cool Apple alternatives on the market or about to be released.

There are 3D mobile phone, cost effective tablets, MP3 players with astounding sound quality and some very cool Android Apps, none of which bear the Mac logo. So this is for all of those who are anti-iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch--and anti-App Store as well.
