I don't recall saying or implying that in any way what so ever. To tell someone their on the wrong list because someone said it would be nice to have some feature sets similar to android is however a sign of likely fanboy itas. In my home we have 2 apple tv's 2 MacBooks 4 iPhones, an AirPort Extreme and an iPod touch. I'm dug in the apple camp good and strong but do I think wanting new features and less restrictions means someone should nick off and go android? Of course not because I agree. Do I tell my 10year old daughter perhaps she is in the wrong house as she likes my temp windows laptop?! Surely the difference between people who love apple and share their enjoyment and knolidge is obvious when compared with the stark black and white world of the fanboy.
I currently have no plans to move to the dark side and go android for many reasons but if apple in the future drops the qualety and or accessibility ball ill certainly see if android in my own personal opinion has become a better choice for me with my totally personal and specific needs and expectations. Also I'm a child in a 39 year old body and respond childishly to snark like was shown in reply to a well thought out statement. Danny.
