I do not use Apple at all. Somehow I am not feeling "harmed".

What if you were economically harmed both by Google and Apple? Do you have any real alternatives left?

I am an exception. I use phone as a phone and offline GPS. Do not even have data plan. So yes anything that can make a call will do. Productivity: for me it is all on PC / servers.

I might reconsider my attitude when / if I can have phone as a generic computing device where I can download and install whatever I need without much hassles and where I can distribute my applications without needing to sacrifice a virgin first.
