Spoken from a true consumer.

Before I post this id like to tell you guys, this was submitted to me by an avid fan of my blog who wanted to get her voice out. She told me that I didnt have to post it if I didnt want to, but seeing as to how I completely agree with her point of view I told her I'd be more than honored to post it up to my blog. U guys can follow her @PrettyDefined (instagram name & tweet name)

Android users, if you have begun using instagram, a photo sharing application that decided to widen its user base by being listed among the google play apps, you may have noticed a rise in the tempers of iOS users. I am not surprised.

The iPhone, while a clever concept in the middle of last decade, has not made many changes. In fact, aside from a phone carrier's involvement and a chunkier design, there isn't much to separate this phone from its predecessor, the iPod Touch. And to be quite honest, this would not be a problem if technology weren't flying past the slightly dated device.

Android has advanced light years ahead of the other operating systems. This is due in no small part to the different manufacturers, the healthy competition inside of the Android community, and the developers, the little guys outside the companies... the ones that are always coming up with stellar ideas to make the phones even better.

So, taking this knowledge into account, iTouch... ahem, iPhone users rightfully state, "The Android has enough. Why should they have our Instagram too?"

Well I have to admit, having been an Android user for 3 years, I am taken aback by the whole "angry iPhone user" mentality. I think my Galaxy Nexus is the greatest phone ever released, to date, but Apple's no Blackberry. There is still hope. With a little reinvention & imagination, who knows? Apple may pass the Android up technologically someday.

My advice to iPhone users? Chin up. Things may get better. And if not? Well you will always be welcome here on #TeamAndroid. Trust me, it's much better to switch than to get mad over a picture sharing app that was "sacred" to you.

It's a Phone. Not a Spouse. Get Over It.
