FT story.

I was just attracted to the notion that fighting over smartphone operating systems shares is now as important in many people's minds as the same fight over OSs in personal computers.

Theme of piece: Mac has ruled here over Microsoft, with Android now replacing previously dominant RIM as the great alternative.

To me, just a fascinating evolution.

The big reason why I tried a Blackberry and then shifted to Android:  I wanted the experience of using them.  I love the Apple OSs in general (my family has four Macs and no PCs), and I love my iPod, but I didn't want to go all-Mac and lose that sense of the alternatives. 

Also why I still use MS Office.
