The first: You made the right choice
Android has taken the mobile industry by the scruff of the neck and blown it wide open.
It's forced some big established players to go open. It's forcing the rest to the wall. Open is free. Open is what manufacturers want - without them you've no handset. Open is what carriers want so they can customise their products - without them your handset goes nowhere. The noughties will be looked back on as the decade which saw open mobile begin: the 10's will be when it dominates.

Andy Rubin
Back in 2002, Andy Rubin was the CEO of Danger, Inc - an 80 employee startup in Palo Alto which had just secured $48 million in venture capital. Danger then launched the Hiptop, a fashionable mobile device easily recognisable today as an early smartphone. For its time, it was revolutionary - a combination of cool style with such essentials as email and web browsing - and would raise the bar for the whole industry from that point on, including, ironically, Apple, where you'd have found Andy earlier on in his career.
