SandmanWhy the hell should they need to buy a new phone, if they are happy with the current one? The non-Apple world is different, you must not be ashamed, if you don't need the latest gadget. You don't need to camp in front of an Android store as soon as your soul owner Apple decides the it's time for you to purchase again.

They won't buy an iPhone if they *needed* Flash content.
Why would you need the latest version of everything, if you are just satisfied with the current one?
That's the reason why they're not buying a new PHONE.
If they however really want a new device, they can obviously buy from a huge choice of NEW devices running Android <= 4.0 with Flash and this for a good time lapse ahead of today.
Google and the handset makers lock them in to the version that is on their phone. They can't do anything but buy a new phone. Locked tight!So they have the choice of being locked *out* by Apple without Flash or to be locked *in* Android <= 4.0 with Flash. If they need Flash, the choice is evident.
Speaking for myself, I am perfectly happy with Windows Mobile 6.5 (invisible behind a really cool Sense 2.5 from HTC) and -of course- a working Flash. Yes I am "locked in", since I don't want to lose many WinMo apps, that I would to the lease have to repurchase, but frankly, I don't care. I could load Android on it, (even 4.0), I could load Windows phone 7 since the HTC Leo has been acknowledged to be the most open device ever, but I just don't want to, Tested it, dropped it. I have found no decisive advantages in them.
