Who else could be?
After reading the comments on Engadget, I’ve gotta say it:
History repeats itself: Now instead of Microsofties using words like “open” and “choice” to defend themselves against Apple’s “closed” ecosystem, we’ve got Googlers doing the same thing.
The fact is whether it’s MS, Apple, or Google, or whether the OS is licensed or not, for-profit companies own and control this stuff.
So pick which one’s best based on tech and user experience, not on some perverted use of the word “open.”
Seems like the haters are out in force on Engadget 🙂
Not sure how legit but this poll has apple winning just about every category they compete in. That’s about right. Ha!

There’s definitely a lot of gnawing and gnashing of teeth going on over there with the iHaters and Fandroids.
I couldn’t resist posting a few choice words about their feeble tech of choice, to really get them foaming at the mouth and writhing in pain.
Hee, hee. ;-P
Are you that Archer1138 guy in the comments section of Engadget? lol! If you are kudos it’s hilarious! Fandroids are freaking out over him. Funny read.
Just incredible. Virtually a sweep of the categories. And you know what? An objective observer can hardly disagree.
Yikes. The folks commenting over at engadget are INSANE.
They really, truly don’t get that the era of “Difficult to use” consumer electronics is over. They really don’t get that they are no longer important, because they are no longer needed to figure these incomprehensible devices out.
And they really, truly don’t get get that user experience is more important than specifications.
Was entertaining to read them for a while, now I’m getting nauseated.
I noted this:
Most Anticipated Gadget: Motorola Xoom
I wonder if next year it will win again…
Biggest disappointment gadget of the year. 😛
