    I was in a taxi yesterday and noticed that the driver had an android phone. Turned out the guy wasn't really into technology, wasn't a geek or a developer - but his point of view was that Steve Jobs was being far too controlling with the Apple iOS platform and that it pissed him off, so he switched and got rid of the iPhone he'd previously loved.

    If regular (non-tech) people are already coming to this conclusion, I think Apple might be dead in the water.

    • yeah I have a friend that said the same thing to me, but about itunes, he works for sony thoughMiguex
    • taxi drivers are indeed making the best life decisions. keep taking cues from them.lambsy
    • well if he wouldn't been a taxi driver and someone who use ADOBE's SHIT, he would still had his IPHONE.akrokdesign
    • also iphone's problem is REALLY nothing but AT&T.akrokdesign
    • The taxi driver in question lives in the UK, so AT&T isn't any part of the problem. The reason he's a taxi driver probably has nothing to do with his choice of phone.lukus_W
    • nothing to do with his choice of phone. The point is .. regular non-developers are realising independently that Apple are being too controlling. Everyone likes freedom .. Steve Jobs works against this universal desire.lukus_W
    • being too controlling. Everyone likes freedom .. Steve Jobs works against this universal desire.lukus_W
    • Steve Jobs has freedom to offer what he wants. You, freedom not to buy it. What you want is power to bully him into Flash.raf
