AppleTV won't login to iTunes Store

Hi Scotty,
I had a question for you, I am debating on the iphone (AT&T) vs. the blackberry storm (Verizon) I know you are a Mac guy and I love my Mac but I am hearing such conflicting things I don't know what to do. I want the ease of apple, but not the headache of ATT. I am hearing that by using gmail and google calender I can sink wirelessly thru the blackberry and my mac. What do you think??? Should I set up a gmail account and get rid of Mac.com??

There’s a lot that can be said here. The iphone is the best device I’ve ever owned. It changes the way I run my business. I can’t say enough good about how much of a game changer it is. On the other side however, ATT is horrible. Dropped calls every day. But I don’t use my iphone as a phone. That’s one of the least important things to me. I’m in the minority here I know. Typing is no problem on the phone. It just takes getting used to. The network is the problem. The day Apple pulls the plug on ATT and adds another provider, people will abandon ATT like rats on a sinking ship. Not much good can be said about ATT. There is a sense that Apple is also frustrated with them as well. But overall, the iphone can not be beaten in every other category and I am willing 10 times out of 10 to put up with the network issues to be able to use the phone. It’s that good.
Now, Blackberry will have two options to sync. Pocketmac or the Missing Sync. Pocketmac is free and Missing Sync is around $40. Neither is as good as just using iTunes or having a mobileme account with an iPhone but if you are going to use your blackberry then yes, you can use google calendar to sync across multiple devices as well. It’s just a lot easier on the iphone.
