Living Room / Re: Why My Mom Bought an Android, Returned It, and Got an iPhone

I consider myself a Geek but choose not to use Android. Why is it that people say Android is for Geeks? If this is the case, then Google really messed up. There are more normal everyday users out there than there are Geeks. If you are trying to succeed and become the world leader of any platform, you need to realize who you are designing it for.
This is why Linux has and never will succeed to the level of Windows or OSX.
As a Geek, I am also a professional a husband and a father. My life is busy enough as it is and I need my Tech devices to simply work. The iPhone is not only simple, but it does exactly what I need it to do in a simple and predictable way.
I love and use most of Google Services but I still carry an iPhone. I love Google Services but love Apple hardware. I don't think this makes me a newbie or stupid. I think spending less time with a device that should make life easier is intelligent. Having a device suck more energy out of me than I need and making my life more difficult is actually stupid.
Android is too unpredictable. When I look at the offerings, I need to consider the manufacturer because their UI's are completely different. I need to pay attention to the version of the OS since there are several out there. I need to be careful of the Market place since a lot of Malware is found in there because it's not policed.
No thanks. I will stick with the iPhone. It works, it's simple, I always have the latest version and I can spend more time living life rather than tweaking my device.
