Yes, and this is why I am looking at a Nexus One and perhaps one of the Android tablets.
On a related note, why is it that the position of "I don't like the closed environment and will thus invest in Android" causes such fevered responses by so many people? Is it really necessary for the author of the original article to insult people such as myself by calling us "snivelling" and to tell us to "put up or shut up"? I find this article a little embarrassing for gizmodo.
The situation is simple. If an open software platform really does produce better software, then likely Android will win in the long run. Some of us are buying into the model we think is better. We will likely recommend the same products to friends and family.
- m_eiman 17y agoThe reason for the "stop whining" thing is possibly that many proponents of Android are saying, more or less, that "normal people" should choose a device based on what they think are the important criteria instead of what the "normal people" themselves think is important. It's pretty elitist, and also missing the rather important point that a device's popularity is only partly based on its technical and ideological properties. Either way it'll be interesting to see what we end up with in a few years. Hopefully Android and whatever Microsoft comes up with will prove to be serious contenders so that we don't stagnate a la IE.
