You my friend have a very strong Apple bias.
Apple IS very closed. Do you know what open means? I have a Samsung Captivate and Samsung released the source code for my phone before most people owned it. Every phone can be rooted so you can do anything with it you want. If you know anything about Android you would know you got multiple releases of your phone's OS from your OEM and from people who decided to modify their own. How many versions of IOS do you have?
There are a lot of front ends and you can remove them all if you are just slightly technical. You can change just about anything with Android and yes, we can view flash websites. We have memory card slots. We have replaceable batteries. We have multiple form factors.
Windows 7 desperately needed requirements because you used to have non touchscreen phones, stylus phones, wimpy processors, all running Windows mobile and never getting updates. That's where Apple did it right. They decided they would come out with a decent hardware platform and support it well, Microsoft failed miserably with their mobile phones.
If Apple products just work, you can try explaining to me why I've got a Power Mac downstairs I'm upgrading to Leopard with the Apple and spinning thing for the last 5 hours. I can't even tell what the computer is doing because I can't see if the hard drive is moving or if the DVD drive is running. I can't even eject the DVD right now because there's no eject button. I'd love to know what that damn computer is doing right now... Not to mention the USB ports are unreliable because they worked their way loose off the motherboard and the computer is squealing louder than a Japanese pornstar.
