to have a convient, reliable, and feature rich tool to use in our daily life.
This. I used to love Androids because I could root them, change my ringtones for free and easily, and customize it to unrecognizable. Now I use iPhones because I would rather spend that tinkering time working on other things or with my family, and the interface is (mostly) stable and conducive to that.
You can have both, the same device can solve both problems. You dont -have- to root your phone.
