My take on the Apple - Android thing

 

Apple - the minimalist home, white, calculated, museum like. You go in there and you feel "I shouldn't touch anything... I won't take anything they offer me to drink because I might spill it on the white furniture... remember to sit up straight if they ask you to sit"

 

Android - the student dorm room. You go in and think "geez, I should give them a broom... but hey, here nobody would mind if I spill beer on the carpet and put my feet on the coffee table.

 

There should be something in the middle.

yeah, I don't get this... we ought to recognize that both companies are making stuff some people want. Some would choose one, some the other, and some would go to yet other company that make good stuff. Yep, Microsoft.  And you know what? That's okay. We should be able to talk about this without it transforming into a spitting competition.

Windows Phone 7 was the middle ground - that's what I thought when I first read about it, and I really thought Microsoft were onto something. In the early days there were a lot of restrictions on hardware (e.g. resolution and camera buttons etc) and software (first tiles needed to be the same, hubs etc). The ease of writing to a relative stable and constrained platform but not limited to a particular manufacturer's device.

It turns out, not many people wanted to buy it.
