I don\'t like limiting myself to Jobs-approved, apple-think applications. I can go to Amazon, Google, Samsung, or lots of other places and get Android apps, and will be able to do the same on Windows. I\'m also learning to program Android, which I can side-load directly on my tablet, give them to family/friends, and basically do as I please. IOW, I have freedom, which is not a word apple understands.
Just out of curiosity, what are some of these great Android and Windows apps that don\'t have iOS equivalents?
I\'m sure you\'re aware that iOS developers can also side-load apps directly onto their devices?
Android/Windows have real file systems. Regardless of Jobs\' war on the file, only those that drink the Koolaid think files are irrelevant (and many here do). Files will be with us for my lifetime, it\'s just that apple users won\'t be able to control what happens to them and will have to ask apple for permission to use one from the iControl, I mean iCloud.
Maybe files and filesystems matter to you, but do you honestly believe they\'re relevant for most people? I\'d strongly disagree on that point. It\'s a fairly simple trap to fall into: thinking that your own needs and desires are shared by everyone else.
