I meant freedom to choose which device you use without sacrificing the serve integration you enjoy or being forced to switch for a comparable experience.
When you go from iPhone to anything else their PIM services instantly become pretty bad, iMessage becomes useless, and other devices lose a lot of value.
This is less of an issue using Google or Microsoft services and devices.
I'm speaking of freedom in the technical sense, not the political or ideological sense.
You're not going to use iTunes Store or Radio on an Android or Windows Phone, but Google Play and Xbox work just fine on an iPhone.
The reason why I personally have great platform mobility is because I've made it a point to avoid platform locked services. This allows me to disregard these alleged [faux] advantages of a platform which are really nothing more than lock in mechanisms that duplicate cross platform functionality available elsewhere from reliable developers/companies.

If you don't use iMessage, you are really missing out!
