Sad when the "legit tech press" have to resort to linkbait headlines to get eyeballs.
The simplest answer to Android's success has more to do with the number of models and network availability than with some bogus claim about arrogance. A better headline would have been "Is Apple being bitten by Android because of its exclusivity agreement with AT&T?"
- theBobMcCormick 17y agoI have to agree with you there. I'm certain that the iPhone's ties to AT&T only has to be a drag on iPhone sales. Not everyone is willing/able to switch to AT&T. For myself personally, I love my N1, but I probably never would have got to know that if the iPhone had been available on other carriers. I wanted to by an iPhone since back when they first came out, but AT&T get's completely crappy reception in my neighborhood. :-( If there'd been a TMobile iPhone I would have bought one a loooong time ago. (I realize you can run a jailbroken iPhone on Tmo, but that just never seemed worth it. You lose 3G, and I'm not excited about ruining the warranty right out of the box on something as expensive as an iPhone.)
