What was really interesting about that figure was that among Apple users, about half still think they're overpriced.
That's not a figure that I'd think is consistent with the "fanboy" and "reality distortion field" memes. To the extent that you can glean an image from a single survey result, this one does more to suggest a sober, perhaps even skeptical customer base. Folks who think their brand of choice is overpriced aren't slavish devotees; they're people who are presumably ready, willing, even eager to switch brands the moment they see a better value proposition.
And it suggests that perhaps the failure of other brands to eat further into Apple's market share isn't something that can easily be waved away with frantic pleas about fanboys and reality distortion fields.
