Samsung’s Lack of ICS Updates is an Android Problem – Marco.org
Hence the difference between the company that cares about customer and not. One company is in it for the long term, the other just want to sell you hardware.
Apple’s customers often get accused of unconditional devotion to the company’s products. But the accusers often have an equally irrational aversion: they blindly and universally won’t buy Apple products. People can buy (or not buy) whatever they want, but if a few hundred million people think Apple’s products are good and fit their needs, and a handful of tech bloggers loudly refuse to buy them even if they have similar needs, which side looks like the irrational one?

Bingo, Marco nails it! My first Apple product is late 2007 MacBook black. I’ve never even look at another laptop ever since. After that comes the iPod, iPhone, iPad and iMac. Previously I’m a ThinkPad user, have been a hardcore PC guy ever since MS DOS 6.2, imagine that. I’ve also been a Desktop Linux guy since 2002. But after using Mac OS X for the first time, I’ve never looked back.
Having that said, if there’s another company that can do thing better than Apple, I would switch. Its the product, not the marketing hype.
” A lot of Apple’s big announcements today were
about features that create lock-in.” Nonsense. It’s only lock-in in that the user is locked into a feature that’s really great and useful. In other words, no lock-in at all.
Their music and their content hasn’t gone anywhere. Their contacts and calendar events are easily shared and exported via standard formats. They only thing they lose by leaving is the great software.
