Things in the mobile computing sphere are clearer nowadays than several years ago.

I think that even for average consumers, it's probably a mistake for them to brace their own mobile life in the walled garden of Apple's ecosystem.

Now more and more people must have foreknown that Microsoft will be in big trouble.

The mammoth trouble for the Redmond giant doesn't come from Apple, IMHO, it comes from Linux, as well as cheap DIY hardware.
