I just had to put this on my BLOG.
Joseph and I have entensive convisations regarding the “PAD” race.
He eMailed me this today and it is really spot on to the issues at hand and how Apple rockets ahead while Google, looking like a three stugges episode is nothing more then interesing to watch.
Note: Joseph references the not widely known fact that Google CHARGES for the addition of all the gTOOLS. Gmail, Maps calender integration etc. Also FLASH on Android is part of this and is not FREE to have on Android.
Android is not FREE software in reality as all the tools that make it competitive to iPhone type features are not free.

WOW, thanks for the info Joseph.
I mist admin Apple knows how to make amazing products. Its just the doctatorship, globalisation and handing so much control over to Apple I have a hard time with.
30% if the total price of the App. Credit card people get 2-4% (Usuaully 2%). Maybe 10% ok.. but really.
Is this fare. We NEED to get Android to be successful as to keep Apple honest. As history has shown Apple is not a company you can trust.
Example: Steve Jobs: I hate DRM.
Reality: Apple products are the most DRMed, locked down and restrictive products in the world.
Does any of this matter if Apple gives us what we want? Well YES it does.
Living in China is probably really good.. its a thriving and growing country…. Unless you believe in human rights.
I am probably going to get an iPad because, for what it is, it is very useful and has no real equil (yet). However, if there was an alternative, I would likely get that. I have a iPhone now as it was the only choice that had the feature set. My next phone will be a gPhone as its just as good in terms of how I use it, and it feels more like I have control of my life in using it. Ie, the great features like iPhone, but the freedom to do things like, copy files onto it like a memory stick. To play any audio not just that which I have in my iTunes. To decide what best Email or Maps program I want to use. To write my own software for the MY device and not have to ask Apples permission.
