The Next Web: "Google has also been working with Samsung to launch a 10-inch tablet, confirming leaks which suggested Google had teamed up with the Korean manufacturer for another device. Our source tells us that internally the tablet goes under the name 'Codename Manta', runs Google's new Android 4.2 operating system (previously referred to as Key Lime Pie, but is set to retain the Jelly Bean branding), and will offer a 2560x1600 pixel (10:16) resolution, which we believe will offer around 300 pixels per inch compared to the new iPad's 264 PPI." Between the iPad and this supposed Android tablet... Poor Surface. Poor, poor Surface.

Carriers, on the other hand, choose Android and Windows devices for a simple reason, Apple forces them to. Every single time Apple launches a new phone, a single carrier gets the deal, while the others lose the head start.
That's not the case in most of the world (where Android also rises to domination, even more so)

You're right but for the wrong reasons.
People choose Android or Windows for whatever reasons they have. And with an average lifespan of just a few years for this kind of devices, most of them probably do it with some experience behind their decisions. Apple STILL sells millions of phones, so, no, the customers aren't forced to use Android, they just have more choices.
Carriers, on the other hand, choose Android and Windows devices for a simple reason, Apple forces them to. Every single time Apple launches a new phone, a single carrier gets the deal, while the others lose the head start. So, if they offered you Android or Windows instead of Apple, then, it's only Apple to blame.
