Do you really imagine that the hundreds of millions of Android users chose "anything but Apple"?
Yes I believe this is true.
There are very few redeeming qualities that an Android tablet has over an iPad. Likewise the people I know with Android phones either couldn't afford an iPhone, don't want one due to philosophical issues, or just wanted a simple feature-less cell phone and an Android phone was the same price.
People do not desire Android devices... they tolerate them. That's why Google should be afraid of these new Microsoft tablets and phones -- people already desire them in a way I have never heard anyone talk about any android device ever created in the past 3 years.
You clearly exist within an Apple fan bubble. Your opinion has zero correlation with reality and you didn't even understand the point I was making. Rather I would say that you couldn't understand it.
Excuse me, but "reality" is the world around you. My "opinion" is based on my own experiences, and my own observations of the people I know -- because that's what reality is. Reality is not simply what "people say" on internet tech websites and android discussion forums.
Sure. People want a smartphone that can post on facebook, take pictures, send and receive emails, etc. They also want to play games, maybe use Netflix, etc.
They choose a phone based upon that. Hundreds of millions of people, when given that choice, choose an Android device for a wide variety of reasons. You don't get that, I understand, because you live in a bubble and have no engagement with the real world.
