Not really a fanboy per se, but I don't understand stubbornness to the point of "Oh, it's Apple so it smells" when the iPhone is quite blatantly a quantum leap ahead of the others. Where it may not be stuffed with all the features-you'd-never-use as the competition, it wins on sheer usability and people just blanketly denying its usefulness because they have created this form-over-function myopic view of Apple that history will most likely refer to as being against progress.
It's very easy to mistake educated impressedness with rabid fandom, and nothing winds up the pundit (me) more than just writing him off as a religious fanatic.
