For the context of this article I think there's a distinction to be made when it comes to choice and flexibility. Sure, when you go to buy an Android you're forced to choose. But when it comes to using an Android device a lot of decisions are made by default you just have the option/flexibility to change the behavior (ie there's a default keyboard but you can swap it out if you'd like). Ultimately I think the flexibility is a good thing, day to day with my Android tablet I don't feel bombarded with choices yet if there's something I don't like about it I'm more likely to be able to fix it then with iOS.

They're getting along with out office on their phones and tablets... That's completely different. You can't just tell clients they don't need it. When someone sends me an excel spreadsheet riddled with VBA code, what else is going to open it. I don't like it but I am one of those people that needs it in order to work with others. Unless the author is saying people are now doing all their work on phones and tablets, some how I doubt it...
