You have to have to iPhone to earn your respect points. Even iPhone 2g owners have more street cred than android phone users.

I do not like Apple at all and I refuse to use their arrogant devices. The people who say that there is no smartphone that is better than the iPhone are idiots. “Better” is defined differently for each person. For someone who cares about being able to install any program they want on their phone, and not being restricted, that person would absolutely hate the iPhone. For someone who loves the iTunes service, and buys everything through there, an Android or any non-Apple phone would cause them great heartache.

The iPhone seems to have popularized the smartphone (or sped the adoption of the smartphone) but it is silly to say that there will never be a phone that is better than the iPhone. To say that by the time the next competitor comes out Apple will have already made another iPhone better than it is silly.

Most consumers are not reading any of this. Don’t care that a phone can’t multi-task third party apps (Because the iPhone DOES multi-task, just not third party apps). Don’t care about some mythical iron-ist (so long as they can safely use apps in an easy way) and don’t care if it is user customizable (so long as it works very well).

After spending 3 days with the Droid (great hardware specs, OS still feels unfinished and clumsy compared to iPhone OS), Google still has about 6 months to 1 year of work to catch up to where the iPhone is today.

The thing is, 90% of USERS (not just Apple Users) are perfectly content to be told what user experience is best. So long as it is simple and flexible. The other 10% are willing to search out and tweak and customize simply because they can. It has nothing to do with actually using the device or getting work done, it is just a desire to change things for the sake of changing.

For those 10% of the people, Android and WinMo exist.

For 90% of people, the iPhone really is the best choice and most users will stay there. Guaranteed.

Guaranteed. However Apple still makes wonderful laptops, so they will continue to be quite profitable despite the hit on iPhones in 2011.

The rest of us actually want more control and don’t want to exist in a “walled garden” for “our own good”.
