Battery life, performance, everything except durability. Are they really that much better? Enough to justify the outlandish pricing? I like getting 320 GB or storage for $80, and haven't had any problems buying Seagate or Samsung. It seems like these things are more a commodity right now, opposed to offering real value (which I recognize will come later). Seems like they're not delivering on the expectations which were set (perhaps unfairly) for them. Doug (and community),
