You don't need to talk to me like I have no idea what's going on in the technology industry. I have
my own blog and I'd call myself a tech enthusiast. That's besides the point.
You obviously don't understand marketing because Siri is a marketing cue and Apple's not the only company who does that. Every device has something better over the last one in order for the company to make money. And yes, I do point out that most users don't care for "closed source" or "open source". All you have to do is go into a high school, for example, and ask them if they know what closed source means and if they know that their iPhone is closed source. 99 percent of them won't know what you're talking about. Go into store and ask people if they know their iPhone is closed source and most of them will have no clue what you're saying.
Ok, so now you're saying it's my fault (user error) that my Android phone force closed apps? I've never had one crash on my iPhone. You can have an iPhone regardless of income too. It's pretty much all the same plans for both phones. Some Android phones have a pretty hefty price, too. The Galaxy Nexus is 299.99 on contract on Verizon. The Droid Razr Maxx is also 299.99 off contract and the Droid Razr is 249.99. There's an example of what you said about Siri in your first sentence. The Droid Razr and the Droid Razr Maxx are essentially the exact same phones. They are the exact same phones with the exact same features yet their batteries are at two ends of the spectrum. Want the same device but with a better battery? Gotta buy the Razr Maxx. Of course you could buy a cheap Android phone if you have a low income, but that's not really a "newgen" device like you said. I do know about the ongoing patent "war" between Apple and all the Android OEMs, trust me. Again, I told you I'm not a fanboy. I'm actually considering the GS3 as my next phone. And believe me, Apple has no reason to be scared when they are, year after year, consistently selling boatloads of their iPhones.
Sure, Apple isn't 100% malware proof. If I said it like that I didn't mean it, but it's quite obvious how much less of a threat malware is to iOS than Android. I don't have to worry about downloading an application from the App Store and hoping it doesn't have malware on it. Most of the security threats on iOS have been through the browser and Apple has patched them pretty quickly, or at least acknowledged them.
I never said the custom skin caused the force closes. Right there you're admitting to the fact that app developers are not as careful with Android as they are with iOS. It doesn't matter that they are developing for Android which has a wide selection of devices. The only thing that differs between them is the OS version and screen size. So, if they test their apps correctly, or if they specify requirements for using their apps, there should be no issue at all.
I never said Windows mobile. Windows Mobile was discontinued with it's last release about two years ago. I never said a BB or WP7 home screen was posted here. I merelyu using the OS's as an example.
