From Android to Palm? R.I.P. @Qlight43

I don't normally make posts about my personal life but this actually has some bearing to something that we, as consumers, have had to recently had to deal with especially since the Android/iOS battle took off when the OG Droid 1 stepped in the ring to do battle with the iPhone for dominance. Its more like picking sides in a fight...and today (well yesterday actually) one of my good friends........defected.

Now dont get me wrong, we as consumers do have freedom of choice to pick any device we want to have in our pockets. Some consumers wise up, in the instant of the sudden burst in Android to iPhone sales. But when one comes and sees that the grass is actually greener on the other side but returns to that old dusty "other side", it kind of hurts your soul.

Recently, my good friend @Qlight43 (which is his twitter name) purchased a Palm Pixi under At&t, turning his back on the Android OS and the Samsung Vibrant that we knew he had come to love and cherish. Once a solid enthusiast for the everything Android, now he has defected to Palm and the all its pretty pictures.

It just reminds me of all the battling and beef that Android users have been doing with iPhone users (aka the Jobettes). We all make our choices for the phones that we want to use, but nowadays its more like picking a gang to join. Android, Blackberry, iPhone, and Palm, among others....which will you chose?
