Well said - I'm very tempted to get an iPhone, but the idea of supporting a closed model for phones and ultimately computers and 'content' (i.e. a closed Internet mediated mostly by 'apps' that go through an app store) still puts me off. And Android deserves some support as the closest rival to iPhone/iOS, and seems quite usable overall.
