I have an iPhone 5, an iPad Mini 64, Apple Time Capsule and an a 3rd generation Apple TV. Yet, I on my devices, I have apps by Google, Blackberry and Microsoft. Am I still considered an Apple fanboy?...(laughing)
That's a lot of loot! Congrats and enjoy your new devices.

Sorry, you're too open minded to be fanboy.
@youstink
With a device history like yours, I think you might be jumping ship again in 6 months when the 'new device' itch comes back.
I can just see you Facetiming with a horse. LOL
Are you close minded about Android, Windows, and BlackBerry? Do you ignore sound, common sense arguments against Apple? If so, then you are a fanboy.
In my opinion, the number of devices or services you use from a particular manufacturer or company does not make you a fanboy. It is the blind faith, and the need to tear down your competition, without acknowledging their strengths, while at the same time, trumpeting your company's strengths, and ignoring its weaknesses... The need to openly justify your choice of device or service to others... while trying to make them feel inferior if they didn't choose the same as you. The need to lie, twist and spin data to fit your argument.
That's a fanboy.
This is one of the most intelligent, well reasoned and rational posts that I've ever read on any of the mobile nations sites. Bravo. It is blind faith, closed mindedness and "other device teardown" that makes one a fanboy. Thats not to say you can't be passionate about your devices of choice, but be fair
Agreed. But like others have mentioned, the term 'Fanboy' can mean different things to people. I usually consider myself a fanboy. Owning 7 devices + macbook, I would feel weird saying I'm not a fanboy haha. But I do recognize other phones and OS's as well. Android does indeed have a few features that I would like to see on iOS. Not to mention the fact that GS4 is 1080p.Are you close minded about Android, Windows, and BlackBerry? Do you ignore sound, common sense arguments against Apple? If so, then you are a fanboy.
