“(to wit: what percentage of Android users wouldn’t notice a difference if it was running anything else, or practically no serious OS at all?”
LOL, I’m POSITIVE that if a majority of phones were running iOS you wouldn’t be trying to downplay in the success and surge of Android.
Prediction: A year from now, Google’s market share will be higher than it is now and you’ll still be here touting the wonders of Apple wondering how the heck it is the appeal of Android continues to grow. I guess when you’re used to being told what you can do with your phone, you can’t possible fathom it.
Good evasion.
Now answer the question.
