Yes and you usually repeat them over and over. You often remind me of this episode.

This year if you noticed all Android manufactures have slowed down and most have limited their models to around 3. It wasn't about fast and furious development. It has always been about choice, choice in features and price. Apple however is coming around. They've for some time have offered last years model at a discount. Now their offering the 4S for $99. And now their offering a 3.5" and 4" screen. =X= |

At this point until either apple really screws up or someone else comes up some compelling killer app, I don't see myself making a move. In my family we are in too deep with apple - not that I think that is a bad thing. 4 iPhones, 2 (soon to be 3) iPads, apple tv and airport express. Not to mention $100's of in apps. Everyone (read wife) is comfortable with their gear. Any iOS updates are simple to install, same across all devices, and I know the apps will continue to work. Not sure if it is still an issue or ever really was that big of a deal, but dealing with multiple versions of android across different hardware is not that appealing. Each to their own. Right? |

But even that is starting wane. Moving more towards a Netflix and iTunes rental type model. |

There was a specific request for an Android solution. That's what he got from more than one person. I even threw in a Windows solution, hardly the work of an Evangelist. |

The truth is they are similar enough that you don't have to buy into one platform. We have iPads, iPods, Android tablets and Android phones in our house hold and they work fine together.
Not the case for me, I only use Linux at home so I cannot update my iOS devices at home, meanwhile Android updates are trivial since they push over the air. The iOS devices we have are 4x so they require iTunes still. We have all sorts of fragmentation at my household both for iOS and Android. Quote:
