I get offended easily as well, however I will buy the devices that suit my needs best. Right now I have a Playbook. Developing for it is extremely annoying, but I have to admit it works really well. No Android lag, which was a deal breaker when I got it.
If I could have something that runs my *nix stuff out of the box or almost out of the box, worked decently and wasn't too expensive, I'd just ship immediately. This isn't even close to that, at least not so far.
Device makers and software developers all want their share. That's only natural. However when I'm wearing my user clothes I cannot be thinking about that all the time. Now I develop SaaS and also, as a user, running my own stuff easily is a big plus. I've been in the hardware and software fences and I can understand the fight. You have to admit software devs got the short end of the stick in this particular market more often than not. If you're not Google, Microsoft or similar.
