Apple: Can it stop the Android menace? « naked capitalism

What do ya'll think? Frankly, this feels about right, even through I haven't looked at this carefully: Instead Android will be the Linux of the phone market. Very slick tool, open, full of technical goodness, philosophically correct, the geek choice. And since it’s the geeks who write about technology, you’ll see as many Android-is-taking-over articles as we see Linux-is-taking-over articles. But it will never actually happen because most of the marketplace is not made up of geeks.
The droid is huge - clunky. Feature rich but not sexy. Its a Lynx, not a Gameboy. |

I agree with that sentiment, but I also agree with this, especially the "They make such great stuff, but they're such assholes. Do I really want to support this company? " part. |
