A lot of it is the more-or-less plug'n'play infrastructure/ecosystem. Pretty sure the Android ecosystem isn't as extensive. (Is there a music store?) Some of it is the customer service. More than one person has told they took their drowned iPhone to the Apple store, the tech looked-up their record, found they were a loyal Apple customer, swapped the phone for a new one and said "there you go. Have a nice day." The actual hardware is rather secondary to busy people who just want their thingy to work all the time, no hassles. Note I'm not an iPhone owner; I just have a craptastic phone on a prepaid plan. But I have an iPod Touch, it works really well, and I admire the Apple juggernaut for what it is. I'd be more likely to get an Android phone simply because I can piggyback off the el-cheapo prepaid plan by swapping SIMs. Can't do that as well with an iPhone. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
