Free stuff sure, it's a pain but not a big deal, if you bought alot of stuff then it's not as seamless as you make it out to be.

which especially makes it great on Android. if I move from one device to another all I need to do is plug in my gmail and everything is right there waiting, contacts, email address, music, apps, etc.

that is seamless.

You just don't have that type of freedom on iOS, i'm sorry but you don't. You get one device, like it or not you have no choice. It's like the Hotel California you can always check out but you can never leave

Hey everyone is different but you can also make conclusions based on what the majority of consumers want. The average consumer wants the Apple Ios experience where convenience, security and quality is prized over "freedom", as you call it. What's interesting is that Amazon appears ready to offer an "Apple-ized" version of Android -a fork of the Android OS that will likely be more closed than Google's, a more highly curated app store, a one stop shopping experience. As we have seen, there are Android users who would welcome that.
