So is there any other product/service/website/artist that falls under this very special category?

It's sort of odd to hear such derogatory comments about Apple these days - especially with OSX.

Anyway this is certainly serious. If you look around the web you'll find a large percentage of MINI owners are also Apple users.

Wow. It's just a computer, Justin. That said, I don't think you could be any more wrong.

I hope that this is not serious. I detest Macs and do not appreciate the comparison. The MINI is a beautiful work of art while a Mac is an inferior piece of junk.

MINI and Apple, a perfect match. The MaC (Capital M for MINI, and capital C for Cooper, with an a in between make MaC. I already picture the Apple logo on a MINI, call it the iCoop.

Well I can tell everyone first hand that the parking lot at Apple HQ has a few Mini's in it. I live near by and was in the great inner circle at 1 Infinate Loop for lunch meeting a buddy and was amazed at the few Coopers and S's I saw.....

By the way, Steve likes Sushi because the cafeteria had good Sushi not to mention A Lot of other really good looking and smelling food. Maybe it's that I don't eat there everyday.

Neither Apple nor BMW are "destined" for success: they work at it.

I've often pondered the fact the BMW is admired despite its 5% share and Apple is ridiculed for the same slice of the pie.

When I first saw this website, I thought that it was the best one that I saw for Mini's. When, I first started using Mac's I knew that I could never be satisfied with a PC again.

MINI, like Apple is just protecting their brand...being a designer, I can completely understand where they are coming from on that side of things.

Being a big time Apple fan/user and a MINI driver, I love this comparison, and I cannot think of a more appropriate comparison. Two great companies, producing great products, that don't necessarily appeal to the masses, and are pillars of excellence in indsustrial design and engineering.

MINI is just like Apple, Go after anyone using the name or trying to make clones or aftermarket stuff. LOL

Love the comparison. I am an avid machead and have a MC on order. I appreciate to attention to design and function is both. There is something to be said for not going with the masses. I would also love an easy functioning iPod setup for my new coop.

No but supposedly someone is working on that. I think that controlling the iPod with the MFSW and the radio itself it really the next step – along with having access to all your contacts on the iPod (and other devices).

why stop at an iPod holder, how about an interface with the stereo that permits the iPod to be controled via the radio controls (or does bliztsafe already do that?)

mmmmh… as a hardcore Apple user and MINI driver I find that comparison very interesting indeed. It also makes me a little proud though… So when can we expect a neat iPod holder for our MINI (designed by Apple & MINI 2gether :-)). At least they should come up with a special MINI iPod (engraved MINI Logo on the back). Anyway, I'm still waiting for a kick ass Newton successor.
