“What drives some people to use one mobile platform
over another?“Although I’m a diehard Linux advocate, I happen to be a
reasonably happy owner of an iPhone 4. You didn’t just misread
this, I actually prefer using the iPhone over countless Android
phones I’ve tried in the past.“With each smartphone tested, I kept finding myself comparing
the Android phones to my iPhone. Maybe this is because the iPhone
was providing me with the kind of experience I wanted from my
smartphone. Why switch something if what you have already
works?“So what would motivate a Linux enthusiast to use something not
produced by the open source community, to instead embrace a walled
garden of restrictions and boundaries? Oddly enough as an end user,
I simply never experienced anxiety from this issue. Instead, I
found the iPhone just did what I wanted it to do: it provides me
with a stable, usable smartphone experience that I can rely
on.”
