Previously owned iPhones, now have an Android. iPhone will work, but will limit you if you like to do lots with your phone. I used to jailbreak mine and just barely got the functionality that I get out of the box with an Android. But if you don't want to customize everything and are happy with the way apple does things, buy the iPhone! For me, I'll never go back to apple for my phone.

Serious tech geek here - I currently have a mac laptop, but use PC (and even linux) systems everyday. In my opinion, it comes down to this: - Macs are great if you have the money to buy them. They work well, things are more natural to do, and work the way you expect. Plus, things like managing your pictures, movies, etc are FAR easier and built in. - PCs are also good, and cheaper. If you are on a tighter budget, then look here. You will have to download / install software to manage your pictures/music in a nice way. It's not fair to say either one is truly better, but if you can afford it, buy a mac. It will be easier to use. Both have the same Office suite (Microsoft Office: word, excel, powerpoint) and both surf the web equally well. It comes down to what you want it for, and what you can afford.

Computers can be confusing! I'm actually a high school computer teacher - The trick is to not be afraid to try things! If you screw something up, you'll learn most from actually digging around and trying to fix it. Specifically, it depends on what you want to do with it? A new computer probably with windows 7 - which means it's pretty user friendly. The control panel can be your friend. What is it you're trying to do?

There are some good ones - Avast, namely is a good one. You should check out cerberus too, it's the best "find my phone" kind of app I've seen - blows the iphone version out of the water.

I totally agree with Teksavvy - Excellent provider with techs who actually know their stuff! Cable or DSL, they support both. I actually have them for telephone too - cheaper rate for exactly the same home phone service.

Good one! New info for me too. Thanks for the post.
