Uh Oh Apple My 15 Year Old Says Android's "Cooler"

We affectionately refer to him as "TechSupport" and he surprised me by not being all that excited about the possibility of iPhone finally coming to Verizon--especially since he's always wanted one and it coming to Verizon greatly increases his chances of getting that wish fulfilled.

Shocked by this strange and interesting turn of events from the kid whose favorite websites are Boy Genius Report and Engadget, I queried him further and got this explanation;

"Notification panels, video wall paper, home screen widgets, integration with Google and being "open" so you can find and install almost any kind of app you're interested in makes Android phones "cooler" than the iPhone."

Wondering if Apple was losing it's "cool", I asked about the iPad. "IPad's are still cool", he said. "Having an iPad and an Android is best of all."

Looks like "TechSupport" has learned a few things about marketing.

e. Musing.
