Why are So Many Android Owners Male?
- ax0n 17y agoBecause it's geeky and a tinkerer's platform. There's already a well-researched and established pattern here. Geeks are most likely to be males. This is like asking why so many Barbie owners are female. No offense, Jolie. It's a good discussion.
- jolie 17y agoI pity the woman who owns an iPhone. Srsly. Call me a tomboy, but "a bare-knuckled bucket of does" is EXACTLY what I'd want in a device. I liked what one woman said about it in the comments on this post, that she didn't want a pink, sparkly piece of crap; she wanted a functional computer she could fit in her pocket.
- marksbren 17y agoVerizon and Motorola are definitely not helping diversify the customer base with the "bare-knuckled bucket of does" billboard and TV ads with jets and robots. I also find it interesting that Android users seem to be the stingiest (only 21% pay for apps).
- jolie 17y agoYou're right. But why don't more girls like jets and robots? They're just... so cool. As a sociological group, do women just not like cool stuff? Maybe this would explain romantic comedies and costumes for dogs.
- wushupork 17y agoThat's easy. Because mostly guys go to Google conferences and hackathons where the Google guys pass out Android phones.
