Android or Apple? OS?

I prefer android over apple for the reason that its open-source, that means that the majority of the apps are free, and you get more revolutionary and cutting edge apps, and do things are even only barely available on a jail broken iphone

The android market already has 250000 apps- closing in on apple 500000; some say it will surpass it before the year is over. Also any popular iphone game or game adaptation can be found in the android market for free.

Good droid apps

Another great thing about android as that if you dont like something (keyboard, homescreen, etc.) it can easily be swapped without jail-breaking, unlike the iphones one-size-fits-all approach.

Despite the false rumors, The iphone is also just as, if not more vulnerable to viruses as android

Apple lovers that say that the iphone is made of better quality material? They don’t realize that Samsung, an android phone maker, supply’s the screen, processor and memory for apple devices, so android has the advantage here.

The iphone is pretty, but not durable, drop it once- it breaks, all that glass around it? That was honestly a mistake. Android manufactures clearly saw that, and decided to do with something a little more durable.

And the iphones “retina display” is a huge scam. By definition a ‘retina display’ is one where the human eye cannot distinguish individual pixels. But this is determined by several factors; most important being the distance between the screen and your eyes. The iphones retina distance is 12in, move any closer than that- say 7in and it’s no longer a “retina screen” because your eyes can now see the pixels, by that same token, if I move my android phone back, to say 16-17in, amazingly, it becomes a retina screen as well! (feel free to google this)

Also apple never invents anything, there never “the first”. All they do is steal old technology, give it a fresh coat of paint and mass advertise it as “magical” and “innovating”, thus fooling the mass of the population into believing that apple offers cutting edge technology, that in fact has been around for quite a few years.

So instead of innovating, apple actually hinders technology- after 4 years they still have low-power single core phones, while android, an example of technology in overdrive, has rumored that, after their second year, the release of quad core phones that will surpass even some desktop computers in shear processing power. (now any 2011 android is smoother and faster than the iphone)

Apple should now feel pretty worried; android has passed it in market share

Then apple panics and sues

The funny thing is that apple can’t sue for being the first touchscreen or tablet, because they weren’t,(Nokia fist touch screen, “archos” first tablet) so instead they sue for much more relevant things like, “the rounded icon corners” and “having a flat screen” or “the square shape of the phone”……..

To top it all, if you’ve seen apples 2011 presentation, they blatantly copied over five "new" features that were previously on android.

http://androidandme.com/2011/06/news/five-features...

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/06/apple-introdu...

1. Notification bar

2. Twitter integration

3. No need to connect to PC to sync

4. Launch apps from lock screen

5. Tabbed browsing

And not only are they copies, but apple didn’t even bother to improve, or change some of them in any way- some even have LESS features than their android counter parts, it’s basically a cheap imitation with the ever-popular iphone skin.

According to Steve jobs, these "revolutionary" new technologies that android users had since 2007 will be available on IOS5, and it would not surprise me to see some more android features from 2008 on IOS6.But the truly sad part is that due to apples marketing, in a few months, apple lovers will really think that apple invented those features and call android the copycats…yet again.

Android doesn't have very many apps. Technically they do, but they are of dubious quality and most are now hidden, only being able to find them if you know the exact name of the app market search. For example if you search 'games' (mainly this appears in the more popular keyword searches) only a few apps will load up out of the thousands of available apps. 'Games' provides many more apps than other keywords, giving you around 200 apps to choose from. Many times these extra listings will not be seen though, because they are bottlenecked behind the initial search results which now try to sell you books, and gives the illusion that there are only two apps and two books. If you deduce to click the green 'apps' header link you can view the available 200 apps. I believe Android must be in some dire trouble for them to proceed down this path, some form of serious desperation, perhaps the HP pad 99 dollar sales, along with their recent Zeus trojan crime syndicate problem, and Java lawsuit needs them to rally sales to themselves. Or maybe they needed the app numbers that apple has, and to do so left the market unregulated, and now that that story is complete they are sewing up the market. The true horror for them is seen when you search for Garfield, Harry Potter, etc. because many lawyers may agree that they hold some punishable responsibility for providing such a platform.

Traded my Android LG in after about 10 days ... didn't like it at all. UI was slow and clunky and ugly, battery life blew (about 6 hours), it would randomly reboot, etc. Seems to me to be pretty typical behavior for Android phones, regardless of what the fanboys say.

Apple devices are solid, but their UI's and styles turn me off ... feel too kiddy and feminine to me ... sold my iMac and returned my iPad2 because I didn't like looking at them. If the iPhone were Elton John's glasses my HD7 would be a pair of runner's Oakleys (Android would be a pair of glasses with two different upside down earpieces and two different colors of lenses and tape on the bridge).

I'm still firmly in the Windows world, and that includes WP7. I like the sleek grown-up feel of WP7 ... the bright solid colors, form-fitting UI, smooth scrolls and swipes. I prefer Zune and Zune Pass over iTunes. I prefer the phones (especially the new Radar and Titan -- yowzaa). I prefer WP7's integration with my cloud space and desktop (Live and Office).

Android is less obnoxious..

apple has a habit of up selling everything, in the end your going to be spending a lot of money on an apple when android is so similar that you cant really tell which is better both are great.

I have a fascinate (Android) and it was a free phone, most of the apps are free, and it runs great. I love it! Plus you can get free apps that are normally paid through the browser where as the iphone is super protected. I've tried out both of them and they are both good, but I like the android system better

Neither. I have an HTC Trophy with WP7 Mango installed and it has absolutely no bugs, looks beautiful, and is one of the best functioning (if not best) operating systems on the market. If you want something cheaper look at purchasing a Pre 2 with WebOS. Other than that I became so bored with iOS and Android that I spent the extra money to buy a Pre 2 and then my HTC Trophy and I would NEVER look back.

Apple is better

Android sucks
