I've been down the Apple road and I'm not looking back. Yes, the iPhone had a great design and I never had any issues with the OS however I did have an issue with the closed system. That's the beauty of Android is that it is open and I can do anything I want with it...and still have a stable working phone. True, none of the Droids look as pretty as the iPhone but I'm not in a fashion show so I have no real issue with the design of my Droid 1. I did have a problem, at first, with how heavy it is but I quickly got use to it since I hold other heavy things all the time. :) The thing about Android is that it first started off pretty bad with the G1 running 1.6 however it progressed drastically to something really awesome in the last year, and it will only get better. Again, that article didn't really have an argument.
