There are articles, commentaries and rants flooding the pages of the internet and flashing on the screens of our televisions, with “smartphone X is better than smartphone Y” being the general theme.  To be completely frank, I am growing sick of them.  They used to bring a thrill to me, but no longer.

If we look at the specs side of the argument, I believe we are quickly getting to the point where we have reached maximum potential for the features of a phone.  I could understand it when many devices didn’t come standard with expandable memory, wifi or a color screen.  But now they do plus many others goodies, and  it seems that manufacturers are just refining the current experience.

Let’s also look at the device operating system side of the argument.  In the past I have been completely guilty of bashing one operating system to make another that I favored and used look better.  I admit this and I’m sorry for it.  I have a new point of view for the operating system debate:

WHO CARES?

Does the device’s operating system meet your needs?  Does it provide the experience you want?  Then, “GREAT”, I say.  Use it.  We could go into a long list of the pro’s and con’s of different operating systems, but at the end of the day let’s all just acknowledge that we each have a personal preference.  That’s it.  I’m sorry… I know I just burst some people’s bubble, but again, let’s be brutally honest.  If the operating system meets your needs and you like it, then who cares what others write, say or do.

What are your thoughts on this?  Feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
