    Give me a break. Apple sells a streamlined user experience to people who want exactly that.

    To read these comments, you'd think Apple had everyone chained up in a dungeon with no way to ever escape.

    No. It's an Apple iPhone, I knew this when I bought it. I no further expect to see Android apps in the App Store than I expect to see ones for Nokia phones.

    Get this, I also don't care if they're not selling Dodges at the Ford Dealership.

    People here may complain, but they sure as fuck don't complain here.

    You are a moron. Absolutely and totally stupid.

    and if you do end up getting one, and deciding to leave, you are fairly well locked in.

    How so? You are completely free to buy an Android phone even after you buy an iPhone. Sure, your apps won't carry over, but they won't carry over going from Android to iPhone, but no one says that this means Android locks you in.

    I guess by that standard, every platform in the world locks you in. Xbox 360, Windows, DSi, Linux...

    Hell, even VHS locks you in in this way, which is why DVD never caught on!
