It's ridiculous to say that you have abandoned something when it sounds like you didn't even take sides with it in the first place. To me those who choose the Android phones and tablets do so specifically because they want to customize their experience with it and even get the dev kit and make something of their own. After reading the article, I find that you're just another one of these "Oh, look at all the pretty pictures I can take, I'm so media-centric an creative now, I might even get paid for the photos I take with it". This in itself is absurd and, were you telling me this, I would have smacked the thought right out of your empty little head. This smells too much like paid advertising and I don't like it. If it is real, I'd dock you a point (-1) for Bad and inconsistent grammar, (-1) for Spelling Errors, (-2)for saying iphone (An overpriced piece of shit with an environment that's toxic to devs and more recently content publishers) is better than Android, which makes no sense because you compared only the iphone against one android phone, and a bad one at that. I mean, if you're willing to spend that much on an iphone, why didn't you just get a better android phone? And finally, you are docked for supporting apple, which the most bullshit company I've ever laid eyes on and deserves all the bad publicity it gets. (-1) Also, -1 for advertising for apple by not giving a fair comparison of solely the operating systems but the phones. That's a 4/10. All in all, a failing grade for a failing article.


Not everyone chooses Android because of a desire to customize or tweak. I bought my N1 because I wanted a smartphone with a decent browser on TMobile. I know plenty of people who've purchased Androids for similar reason (wanted a 4" screen, wanted front facing camera, etc).

While all of us techno-geeks like to obsess over every minor difference between the Apple and Android platforms, the reality when you step back and look at it is that for most users, the difference is negligible.

People get way too invested in these stupid product/platform wars. Everyone needs to remember: You aren't defined by the products you buy and use!
