I have held off for months, even maybe a year now.  I wanted an iPhone so badly, I could practically feel it in my hand.  I gritted my teeth and bit my tongue every time one of my so-called “friends” would show me all the cool stuff their iPhone could do.  I found out everything bad about the iPhone that I could, in an effort to truly pour some Haterade on everyone who had one.  Sour grapes they surely were, but I did what I had to do to maintain my sanity as I watched friend after friend buy different smartphones.

And now, I am ready to claim my prize.  Soon, we shall see the Google Android.

Courtesy of PC World:

Google said in November that it developed Android to spur innovation among developers to create applications for mobile phones that wouldn’t be exclusive to particular carriers or devices. In contrast to the iPhone, which developers previously had to unlock in order to create and distribute their own applications, Google said that Android would create a truly free environment for third-party developers.

Months later, Apple decided that it wanted to encourage third-party application development as well and released its software developers kit (SDK). Additionally, Apple said it would help developers distribute their applications by creating an AppStore that would let consumers browse and purchase individual applications much as they do with music and movies on the iTunes store.

If the Android doesn’t rule my face off, I’m buying Mac and iPhone and becoming one of those people.

That’s right.  If Google doesn’t show up with some heavy artillery soon, I will be forced to join the league of Macolytes.
