Yep, it’s one of those stories that you just love to see to start your week off. One very loyal Android fan (with a lot of time on his hands) waltzed right into an Apple store with their accomplice to load up all of the store’s iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch demo units with various Android-centric wallpapers. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Android flaunting its stuff in Apple stores (and I must admit it makes me feel a bit immature), but I still get a bit tingly every time I see it happen.
In somewhat related news, Apple’s trying to forget about (and make you forget about) its Antennagate tactics as they’ve pulled down all of the content directly attacking competitors. Their original Antennagate site (which served no real purpose other than pointing fingers at others) now links to their general antenna testing page attempting to create transparency on their antenna testing labs, while their YouTube account is now devoid of all videos attacking other phones.
We can’t say for sure what may have caused them to double back. Was it the fact that they realized nearly every phone manufacturer they attacked weren’t keen on taking their beating without fighting back? Perhaps they want to avoid defamation lawsuits with their already-staggering backlog of cases they need to take care of? No one knows at the end of the day, but perhaps we can finally say that Antennagate is officially over. Now let’s return to our regularly scheduled Android-loving programming!
