I met Ben in a music festival. He always carries a big android phone. I remember once I left my phone in my dorm and did not answer his message instantly. He sent me a shocked face emoticon and asked me why I do not carry my phone everywhere. The phone is such a part of his life. Therefore, I decided to interview him. I thought his opinions about the smartphones could enrich my research. I predicted that he would like Android more than other phones. He believes that the Android has is much more customizable, whereas the iPhone has very specific system and everyone is confined to it. That is why the Android is more open to user. Especially, since Google opens android platform to anyone for free, which allows developers to create whatever they want. Android is backed by such a massive company, which will make the Android system be more successful. Before I interviewed him, I wondered why there are more Android phones than iPhones in the market. Ben reminded me that maybe free android platform is the main reason. Cell phone companies can put out models at different ranges. .
