In the mobile world, you can just chose between the "tyrants" you want to succumb to: Is it Apple who decides which apps you can run (but leaves the web wide open)? Is it Google that wants to mine all your web searches, emails, calls, text messages, trips, documents, pictures and videos to present you "relevant advertisement" (you know you really want that, don't you?) - teamed up with a phone manufacturer and a carrier who decide what user interface, features, firmware updates and crapware you get? Is it Microsoft, the underdog, that tries to combine the best (or is it the worst?) from Apple and Google? Or is it Blackberry or Symbian that don't think you need good apps (maybe just because they don't have them)? I personally chose Apple, knowing what I would get into. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
