Me too. I wouldn't go near an iPhone type OS, but I often recommend it to people. Same thing with closed system proprietary readers like Kindle, which took its cues from the Apple's music ecosphere a tech generation ago. I don't want it, but I know people who can benefit from it and won't even notice the restrictions.
So long as there is a reasonable amount of choice, I'm happy for others to have theirs. However, with Palm and WinMo both going from open environments to closed, I have felt my options restricting, and I wonder if that momentum towards restrictions will ever subside and the market will even out.
