Android vs iOS vs Windows

[Vanraw]

Apple and Blackberry are just on one. What's the big deal? You are still locked to a platform.

This may be one of the most valid comparisons of the iPhone you have defined. Blackberry owned the business market. Hell 10 years ago there is no way in hell I would have thought that BB would have lost its market share. But it got its ass handed to it. Apple will too if it doesn't do something.

I prefer the phone and OS coming from the same company, with the benefits and optimizations that provides. Does that mean I have less variety in the hardware? Maybe, but that's never been an issue for me. Frankly I don't have time to comparison shop between 100 different phones.

I understand your obsession . I mean there are still BB user, and their will be to the very end.

Moving from on iPhone to another is zero effort - couldn't be easier. Done it many times for both me and wife (plus iPads, iPods, etc).

You have them colored glasses on again.. My wife has a iphone 4 and has many accessories such as media / speaker portals for home and work, as well as docking station for the car. She looked at iphone5, and she was going to have to replace them all, or buy a clumsy adapter.

Grant it, the integration with 3rd party devices to apple is much larger then android, but Android manufactures have chosen open standards like Bluethooth and standard usb connectors that can not only be used on multiple phones but virtually any device out there, be it, PC, Cameras, TV's, Stereos, mics head sets etc etc, where everything apple is proprietary. Even the fucking power cord. The power cord?? seriously?
