I do use a Mac, but until Vista I had used Windows XP.)

  For nearly a year, Apple's App Store for the iPhone has stood out as the sole example of a smartphone platform that's more than a fancy way to take phone calls and look at headlines.

And it provides a lot of entertainment, from fart-noise generators to mood lighting.
