Very true, though I do wish sometimes that people would parse what they are fed with a more critical eye.
At the end of the day all we can hope for is competition. I remember when Intel ruled the roost before AMD became a real contender. It doesn't lead to a good outcome for us consumers.
I found the findings presented in a BBC series about mega brands (like Apple) and the neurological reactions of people (with regards to these brands) being
like a religious experience rather revealing. I think a subset of society has an unhealthy association with stuff.
BTW. Out of interest what dumbphone do you use? Even some of those so-called dumbphones are pretty smart. I believe Nokia used to include all their Symbian powered devices in worldwide Smartphone stats which was a little contentious.
