I don't get this misconception of having restricted access to files. I have absolutely no problem accessing any file I want on my iPad or iPhone. So you'll have to explain that too me. Because I think people who make those statements obviously haven't used the device. I don't need an sd card slot, why would I? Easier to have the onboard storage than to have to fumble around with a bunch of cards. Especially when they are smaller than my fingernail. Plus I can access my NAS just fine, or my laptop, to view any type of file I want. Yes, I really can do it.... Omgwtfbbq.

AppStore? So what. No different than amazon, B&N, etc. I like the AppStore ecosystem just as much as I like the amazon ecosystem. I can't wait to get my fire next week & have all of my amazon stuff in one place. I don't have to have my credit card in a hundred different appstores because I get an app here or an app there. Plus I have the safety & security & quality control of someone reviewing apps, such as amazon or apple. Sure maybe the reject an app every once in a while, so what. No different than best buy or wal-mart not carrying a specific product.

Fashion device? Lol. Have you seen the recent android phones with their fancy & sexy curves? Beautiful devices, & the iPhone could be considered plain jane next to them. I don't walk around with my iPhone or any other device flaunting it just because it's made by apple. There is a sense of pride that a lot of people have when owning an iDevice. So what's wrong with that. I'm just as proud of having my kindle or my kindle fire (an android device omgetfbbq!!!!) soon. This is a purely subjective anyway. So it's irrelevant to the function of an iOS device or apple itself.

I'd agree that android users are very cult-like. They diminish a user base or a specific product with no basis in fact. The biggest reasons I've addressed above. Those are the most common misconceptions I ever hear out of them.
