Well, that's where I though the "Nation Plus Canada" piece would come in. I was figuring that those plans gave a "no roaming" status to all (well, at least most of the southern portion) of Canada. No?
He is a little inconsistent.
what he complains about android (2. Wildly inconsistent experiences) he criticizes in iOS
(3. Fewer hardware choices).
It's the same for "1. Ecosystem chaos" and "1. Software inflexibility"
What he criticizes in iOS is a weakness of Android

Android vs iOS war will be the last Device OS Wars which started with PC OS wars (Windows, Mac, ...) then Mobile OS which will last for a couple of years then a new war will start which is totally different, it is the Cloud War (Google App Engine vs Amazone EC2 vs Microsoft Azure) and this will be the last Platforms Wars, because then everyone will be connected to the Cloud 24/365 and it doesn't matter what is the platfrom.
This too shall pass.
The cloud scares me though. Everything stored somewhere else. Right now, I have no one to blame but myself if I forget to back data up or protect my data.
If my data is in the cloud, who knows what will happen to it?

Not sure why you would not trust your information to be stored in a cheap outsourcing country like India with possibly secondary users in china contacting you directly???
Lets not forget that Apple could pull off the " One last thing" and get involved in the so called War.
Apple's massive data center in North Carolina will come online this year, Apple?s CFO Peter Oppenheimer said that it would be finished this year.?
The $1 billion center is as big as the world?s biggest data facilities, and has been the subject of much speculation since construction started in August 2009. Occupying 500,000 square feet, the data center is about five times the size of Apple?s data center in Newark, California.
Let the war begin!

I love Apple products. But... a big weakness in Apple is there that their developer support absolutely STINKS. It is quite simply... a joke.
Without going into details here, suffice it to say this will have a big impact on the availability of solutions that are out there in the market place - and the evolution and innovation that developers can (or cannot) bring to the table for their products.
I have had so much frustration with Apple's "Developer Connection" programs that I am telling my clients to stay away from them. And I know I am not alone.
My latest "bout" with Apple's dictatorial regime has been their demands for me to get a notarized letter proving my identity... (!) AFTER they successfully charged my credit card.... and then FAX it to them (FAX???). I say this only to illustrate the kind of run around Apple typically gives it's developers. We put up with it, only because we have had little choice - until Android that is.
Add to this the restrictiveness of their developer API's, their rules, their complete technical inflexibility - I believe that over the long haul, iOS will wither on the vine due to their "in-breeding" at Apple. It reminds one of the old Soviet Union in many ways. There is HUGE chasm between Apples "public facing image" and how they treat 3rd party developers. Image vs. Reality.
I think Android will thrive - due to it's open nature, and receptiveness to innovation... albeit amidst the chaos of a free market. But give me an open, free platform any day, over one that is restrictive and limited - like iOS.

As i can see, Android is highly customizable, since we can have shortcuts, for example, a gallery, to Gmail, google maps, etc. and also certain widgets, most of whom are of the weather, or comments on their facebook accounts.
