Well you know that it was a rhetorical question. I think what Apple did with the iPhone is very smart. They have 100% control of the hardware and software design. For other OS like Android, you get a very different experience running the same version on a high end device and on a $50 generic brand device.

The women in my family, (wife, mom, sister, sister-in-law) will never switch from their iPhones to anything else. It is just that good! I am planning to switch to Android and they are all looking at me like a traitor..
