Your complete and utter dishonesty is amusing. Clearly, Android's "openness" was its major appeal to the misguided, self-described geek crowd that threw their support behind it, and "openness", along with Google's "commitment to open source" is a huge part of the reason that these same people are rabid supporters of the company. To try and rewrite history and pretend now that it's just not important is about as disingenuous as it gets.
And, "what attracts buyers to the Android devices," has, except for these mislead, "bloggers and geeks," nothing to do with whether its any good or what features it has. It's all about naive consumers being pushed into cheap crap "feature" smartphones by carrier sales staff that have been trained to push whatever makes the carrier the most money at the lowest cost. No one chooses Android who has any clue what they are doing, except those who are still so deluded that they believe it is somehow "open".
You really didn't earn your pay this week.
I guess you missed the latest Nielsen survey that indicated Android was chosen over the iPhone by more consumers to be their next smartphone choice. And for those that have yet to buy their very first one, far more people say that they're planning to go Android in the next year. Those are potential buyers that aren't being pressured by the salespeople since they haven't yet bought one.
Your argument holds no water Anonymouse. The iPhone is a great choice. But consumers think that some of those Android phones you make fun of are a pretty great choice too.

And I guess you missed that the percentage of people who 'intend to buy' an Android phone is LOWER than the percentage of people that already have one... while the opposite is true for the iPhone.

Not at all. The discussion was whether consumers actually chose Android or is it forced on them by salespeople or financial coinstraints as Anonymouse suggested. The facts indicate they choose it. Of course a lot of people like the iPhone as well.
I'll said it several days ago and I'll say it again, for $12.5 billion, Google could of hired the top 100 programmers in the world and cleverly innovated their way top the top of the heap (metaphorically) but nooo, they continue to want copy Apple. How sad for a once admired Google.
I'm not surprised to hear this. However, Larry could not of made the monumental mistake of buying worthless patents - he's not that stupid...or is he?
Naw.
So if Larry knew the patents were worthless, that they would not protect the Axis of Copycats, just why did he buy Motorola?
:
You are 100% correct.
Android is now the most expensive free system of all time.
Billions in licensing fees to MSFT every year from Android vendors + 12 billion for patents.
And Google even bought Android.
I would have respected Google more in this regard if they had invented its own OS, like WebOS.

Actually, it's your "facts" that hold no water. Android is not what people are talking about on the street, it has no buzz compared to the iPhone. I know it's your job to convince us otherwise, but your "facts" just don't match up with the real world.

Where is your bucket of evidence Anonymouse?
Having an opinion is commendable, but what are you basing it on? A feeling, or maybe the opinion of a couple people you know? The difference between your opinion and what I wrote is I have backup for it. That doesn't necessarily make mine right, but the probability is a whole lot higher.
