Re: Confession of a serial iOS’er.
did you read the rest of my post where I highlight how this is valuable in the context of mobile? Linux is a whole different ballgame and not an apt comparison.
Also since we’re talking “penetration”… android already has 65% of the mobile handset marketshare worldwide… again, not becuase it’s better than the iOS… it just gives people more options… the option to buy a cheap phone that has a sub-par user interface but meets their basic requirements to an expensive phone where the manufacturer invested in providing an elegant UI. The key is “choice” which there isn’t with the iOS.
