I'm willing to bet a lot of money the next satisfaction survey will show Android with a lot higher score.

So, to summarize:

I post a response to someones question as to why people buy iPhones using the most recent data available. You laugh and say the data is out of date. I tell you it's only done annually and that the survey was released 5 months ago. You ignore, and propose a financial bet, over the Internet, of an inexact amount, depending on a value to be determined at a later date.

Man, you kicked my ass.

Hehe.

Apple is successful because they set up a nice way to basically lock a lot of people into Apple products. The eco-system concept is actually brilliant for a business. The switching costs and exit barriers to leaving Apple are so high for some people they really do have no choice but to stick with Apple for extended periods. Apple makes good products for sure, but even if there are superior products out there, its too costly for some people to switch so they basically have to stay. Ultimately though their overrated innovation will continue to fade away as it becomes more and more obvious Jobs made them who they were and they're doomed to return to previous form. I mean if they lose the iPhone sales the company will lose at least 60% of its value. Thats why they need to lock you in.

Can't Android users at least understand that not everyone needs a torrent client on their phone?
The iphail users have to say that, if not Jobs used to devour their children.
However now, he just controls their souls in the afterlife.

Solid rebuttals. Debate club dismissed.

Here's a picture of a puppy, just so everyone knows they did well.

The SIII owners are too busy customizing their home screens and installing alternate keyboards to use the internet.

I bought Swiftkey back during the 10 cent sale. I converted my cousin (Note) and her boyfriend (SIII) this weekend.

You just really can't compare ios and android to each other using consumer data because they don't represent individual products for consumers to consider. There is no comparison to be made. It's like taking a single player from one team and comparing him against all the players from another team to decide which team is best or who has the most fans. Anyone could see that this is stupid and pointless.

The only way it could be reasonable would be if android went to just releasing a single best phone every year (which would no doubt be terrible for the consumer).

Of course he does.

Are you really expecting anyone to believe that you don't get one poster ending a post with "hehe" then you replying with only "hehe" isn't super gay?

Considering how obvious the context is, I think you (and others) are just being purposefully obtuse.

Edit: There.
