Really? Because nooks run android and I'm sure you've probably at least heard of them.

Ah! Very true! You kind of forget because it looks nothing like Android. Then again, I've never seen a Nook in real life (I have seen a few Kindles), but I know they're semi-popular.

Yeah, I really probably never would have known if I hadn't rooted mine

Edit: Someone beat me to it.

Not this argument again. And thats Apples dumbass fault for limiting the phone to one carrier for so long. Android did what MS did back in the day...took what Apple did, make their own, and then opened it up for many different manufacturers and developers.

my bad for stating facts...

Forgot about nook. I know Creative has some MP3 players I forgot about to. They are easily overlooked since you dont hear a lot about them.

Its the only defense Apple has ATM. I am sure Apple will get more sales when its released on Verizon, but Androids plan is to not out sale or beat Apple. Google even released a statement a while back saying that. People think that more sales and most popular means better...thats not the case really...sometimes it is...and sometimes its not.

And remember...Apple chooses to be closed off...limited...and authoritative...their weigh or the high way. Apparently lots of people like to be told what to do. People choose Apple like they choose Windows. They were the first with something, people get set in and think its the best. Was the case at one time, not anymore.

I'm not so sure what Jobs is so defensive about these days. I mean, Apple makes a ton of money on what they sell. So what if Android sells more? Apple makes more money from their sales.

It's basically talk to assuage the shareholders.

And you are right, apple choses that. They always have. The biggest reason for that? It's because apple see's themselves as a hardware company and the software they have helps them sell said hardware. Clearly what they are doing is working. Their app store is a gold mine.

I love android phones too, I would have one in a heartbeat if they had a better or a competive media player to iphones ipod app. My perfect phone would be an android that has the ipod app on it.
