I have owned a series of Macs since 2007. I would not own one for work today if it did not have VMware , Virtualbox or Parallels support. There are still many native apps that the Mac platform does not support. As big as apple is today, the Mac native app support is still pretty poor at least in the workplace. I don't agree with your argument.
Have a Nexus 4. No thanks to the Nexus 5. With the news that it can run apks directly I just ordered the Z30. Pinch gesture in the HUB to close out / open read mails, custom quick menu and the native Blackberry Express on the fly presentation tool are just 3 of many great features I am looking forward to. So no thanks again to the Nexus 5. My nexus 4 will be a more than adequate backup to my Z30 upgrade.
But I don't like the Android experience and absolutely love the Blackberry one. I can handle running some apps written for Android on the Blackberry platform but that is it. No there has to be others who prefer the superior user experience of the BB10 and would not want BB to be just another Android knock off. No thanks. I like the exclusivity of the brand no matter how small it is.
Use BB10 as an Android app launcher or Android as an Android app launcher? Hmm easy choice. I had a Q10 and loved the wonderful HUB and multitasker. Loved the phone but lost it. Replaced it with a Nexus 4 because I wanted a few Android apps that the Q10 was missing. But Android itself does not compare to the BB10 messaging experience with the HUB. Now that I can launch most Android apps from BB10, I ordered the Z30. So I am one who will own a BlackBerry. Can't wait to get it.
