Merely pointing out the hypocritical arguments of some Apple supporters does not automatically make somebody an "Android fanboy".
Merely pointing out the functional differences between iOS and Android does not automatically make somebody an "Android fanboy".
Merely pointing out the philosophical differences between iOS and Android does not automatically make somebody an "Android fanboy".
To generalize this, merely pointing out things that can be perceived as negative about one product/company/person does not mean that the person expressing such ideas automatically supports some competing product/company/person.
- pavs 13y agoNot sure where you are heading with this. To make my point more clear, why on earth would you or anyone care about how much money the manufacturer of a product you use (or has similar OS to the product you use) make or by how much money its beating its main competitor in this quarter? I can think of three possibilities: - You are a market analyst. - You are an investor. - You are fanboy. I am going to go with fanboy.

- pavs 13y agoIf you are on mobile business, its currently a duopoly, if you are not investing on both top 2 platform you are doing it wrong. I would also probably categorize this in to "investor", in the sense that your business is investing on that platform, so profit margin of that platform in a relevant information for you.
- mwfunk 13y agoThe original poster wasn't coming from that perspective either. He was basically Grubering for Android, which is about as interesting and insightful as when Gruber does it for iOS.
- mynegation 13y agoOr go with 'investor', if not in the usual sense of word. I am a user concerned with long-term investments into ecosystem: apps, purchases of DRM-d content (as bad as it is), compatibility with peripheral devices (external batteries, fitness and medical etc). I've been burnt before (Palm devices anyone?) so now I pay a great attention to market share, third-party ecosystem, opinions of developers about the platform etc.

Goes both ways.
- PommeDeTerre 13y agoAbsolutely. Where did I ever say it didn't?
