First off I could say all day I'm not biased, but I can admit that would be a lie because for me Android is the only choice. But I will say that I at least try to not be biased anyway (even though subconsciously it's next to impossible to do). I actually agree with some of the positive comments about the IPhone because just like Android they both have their own plusses and minuses. To be perfectly honest the ultimate deciding factor for me to NEVER own an IPhone, doesn't even have much to do with the device itself for the most part. The main reason why I'd NEVER own an IPhone is because of how despicable Apple is. They flat out prey on people who just don't know any better, and they take advantage of it every chance they get. I'm not saying that anyone who owns an IPhone is stupid either just to clarify. Just because someone isn't a technology freak like me or most of the people on these forums, it doesn't mean their stupid by any means at all. Unfortunately the overall majority of people who buy cell phones aren't into technology (statistically anyway) so they just don't know any better, and Apple is the best at using that to their advantage. It's pathetic in my opinion but it's also brilliant at the same time because look at how successful they are at it. In my defense I understand how it might sound like I'm a conspiracy theorist, but if you really look into some of the things they do and have done, it's almost unbelievable. I would almost bet my life that if Apple tried to operate the exact same way but as a car dealership, they'd go out of business in less than a month. That's because you don't have to be a mechanic to understand that asking 30 grand for a ford escort is absolutely ridiculous. (I.E. the $800 - $1000 Ipad that a $200 netbook can literally out function) Especially when they tell you it doesn't come with a steering wheel, and even though you can buy one for it pretty cheap anywhere, the only one that will actually fit your car is an Apple steering wheel, and it costs 10x more! Seriously?! People wouldn't take that sh*t and they'd tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine because they know better. Technology is a whole different animal though because the "majority" of people think it's just beyond their comprehension. Even though I'be only been talking about Apple, there are a lot of other companies doing the same sh*t and are basically getting away with it. Motorola for example forces people to use their data plan when the phone is connected to HDMI, even though it's perfectly capable of connecting to your own wifi that you already pay for. It's effing ridiculous and they should be punched in the mouth for praying on people, just because they can get away with it. I understand that ALL companies are trying to make money and they have every right to try, but forcing people to spend more money just because you can get away with it is effin lousy. Anyway that's my rant and it's the reason why I think Android is the way to go because at least you have some options. There's a thousand other things I could go on about but I'm not trying to write a novel here LOL
