Thank you Corpulent One, I know you always have good insight and it is much appreciated. I guess there is a trade-off if one joins the Apple ecosystem. Although I will add that developing for iOS is extremely easy as well (it's so easy that I can do it). I would add that I use my eDGe's every day at work and at home, and appreciate their innate function running Android 1.6 (as I have said before in these forums). I am one of those people who like updated software, and now realize that using Android puts one at the mercy of the companies just as Windows phones did to me in the past. Combine that with the "promise" of an update from Entourage while at the same time providing precious little information, exponentially increases my frustration.

I will disagree about Apple corporate ego, however. The company was on the brink of being demolished and became one of the finest and most admired companies in the world, not by luck or ego, but by providing what customers want. The marketplace has spoken. Thats not ego, its just fact.
