I really think it's backlash against the iPhone culture.
I'm not particularly sold on Android, and I really like my iPod Touch. However, AT&T is notoriouly lousy in my area, so I purchased a Droid when they were released in November.
I was at a family gathering and got into a discussion with my sister-in-law and a mutual friend about the pros and cons of the iPhone versus the Droid.
I was at a family gathering and got into a discussion with my iPhone-fangirl sister-in-law and a mutual friend. I said relatively little until our friend asked about the AT&T network. I mentioned that I had the same concern and showed her my phone. At this point, my s-i-l made a face that reminded me of the scene in Fellowship of the Ring when Bilbo Baggins sees the ring hanging around Frodo's neck. Her attitude really changed even though she lives 2000 miles away and knows very little about AT&T's performance in our area.
At any rate, there are plenty of great things about both phones, but I did feel my attachment to the Android community grow a little stronger after that encounter, which was the first of several over the last couple of months.
