I come here to catch up on news, mostly, but do pop into the forums from time to time. I'm not the biggest poster, not by a long shot, but since Android became what it is now, I've noticed the influx of "anti-Apple" members being far more vocal than the "pro-Apple" members, along with a large degree of hypocrisy.
The second a "pro-Apple" member defends their brand, they're flamed, mocked, and called a "fanboi", while the "anti-Apple/pro-Android" (delete as applicable) continues their rant, expressing their opinion like it's fact while mocking the Apple user. It's commonplace on here now, which is why I like to stick to the front page news more often than not. It's embarrassing, from both sides. The overtly pro-Apple members, and the Android fans who for some reason have come here for nothing more than cheap kicks, long in the tooth digs, and to make a general nuisance of themselves.
I love tech, we all do, and I'm very much an Apple user and enjoy my products. I happen to have long thought that the Samsung Galaxy S took an envious glance at the iPhone 3GS design and thought, "You'll do", and it's been a long standing to-and-fro joke between myself and friends who own the Galaxy S, many months before Apple decided to sue.
I've mentioned on here many times, that I personally don't like Android as an OS and I only found one Android skin to be user friendly and intuitive and that was provided by HTC. TouchWizz, having used it on friends Galaxy S and Galaxy Tabs, doesn't feel quite as fluid to the touch as iOS, but that's my preference. The Galaxy SII is one very nice piece of kit, and Samsung have done well to pack what they have into something so thin, although I do think like the Galaxy S before it, it took a little peek into the iPhone 4's dressing room to see what Apple's phone was wearing this year, prior to turning up to the party.
There are far too many threads on here where Android fans slate iPhone users, ridicule them, call them fanbois, and yet cannot see that they themselves are guilty of the very thing they're mocking. It's a phone, buy what you prefer, and go to your own forums and chat with like minded users who enjoy the same products as you, leaving those with different preferences the hell alone. But we all know that's never, ever going to happen is it?
