I have been on the active campaign for android for about 2 years now. A few years ago, I had a Samsung Instinct before the Palm Pre, and was selling the point, in my mind, that it was better than the iPhone. I was so obstinately opposed to the iPhone, that I would take a trac phone over an iPhone. I hated the Steve Jobs way - whatever he wanted, that's how you use it.
Considerations.
The other day, as I was pondering the economy, I was thinking how ridiculous it is that every marketing platform and campaign known to man deals with discounts, even on BRAND NEW products. I think it is so ridiculous that our economy is in the tank, and other nations are flourishing. We are America. We invented the markets as the world knows market now! Why are other countries outselling American companies?
Then it hit me. The question was this: "Why is there not more American companies dominating the global markets, such as mobile phones?" I thought,"Ok, Google is American, and they developed Android, but............ HTC is from Taiwan and Samsung South Korea?" Wow! Ehy is there not a company who both makes their own hardware and software?
That's when it hit me like a fast pitch with no glove! "Apple is an American company!" This phone and computer and tablet that I have been so ridiculously biased towards, is a true red white and blue American company! Granted, their hardware is made in China, but so is this tablet I'm typing on! This is a company started by a couple of American entrepreneurs, that is at the top of the world when it comes to phones and computers! Why have I not embraced it? The Steve Jobs way is actually a fantastic business model that allows the company to keep making money, to keep innovating, and to keep Americans employed! The problem with so many tech companies, is that they allow themselves to be taken advantage of until they run out of business. Apple has taken and kept control of their business model and have thrived in an otherwise down economy!
I love my Epic Touch 4g. I do t know if I will like it, but at this point, I think that I will keep my money local, at least domestically speaking, and give Apple a good run for my money! We will see if I cqn live with iOs, and if not, the thin I will be back!
