To Healthy Competition

Some of my fellow geeks seem surprised when they learn I’m happy that Android phones are doing so well. But even though I’m using an iPhone now, I’d prefer that it be a difficult choice; I may like Apple products, but I want there to always be someone out there that keeps them innovating, refining, and generally working hard to convince me that they should keep my business. There was a bad period in the nineties when Apple computers were beginning to… well, ‘suck’ is probably too strong a word, though plenty of folks used it. Now that the company’s doing so well, I’d hate to see them get lazy again.

So if you have an Android phone, and you really like it, I think that’s awesome and I won’t try especially hard to evangelize you. Don’t let them get lazy on you, either 🙂

    I think people are always surprised when I say I have nothing against the Android and think it’s an excellent phone because I’m such a Mac person. I’ve often said that if I didn’t already do the all Mac thing that I’d very much consider wanting an Android. It’s an excellent phone, it’s Open Source, and you can buy whatever kinds of apps you want/you don’t have to worry about the tyranny of DRM. (Steve Jobs, I don’t need to be “saved” from porn, I need to be “saved” from attitudes like yours. My device, my choice, my business.)

    I like your points as well. 🙂
