I notice you use swype. Is that, as you say, just for "showing off"?

Custom keyboards aren't even allowed in iOS; it's so limited.

[Android General] iJimaniac:
Okay ithehappy, add your own post to your LOL list! (Serriously, that was the most rediculous thing I have ever read!) "Who needs customization?", well, as posted above it makes things a heck of alot easier! Also, why would NOT having customization make the iPhone better? Another thing; "when you wake up your iPhone is there to serve you, but is your Droid?"

Guess what; bed-stands are NOT iPhone exclusive accessories! Really what the heck is this guy trying to say? As mentioned above, I can get my daily updates from my Droid in about 30 secs, where as it takes me about 5 minutes to do the same with ios! Btw, trying to see what's on a 3.5 inch screen after waking up is something equal to trying to find a needle in a haystack while your flying over it at 5000 feet while traveling at mach III!

Hated Apple iPhones from day one, no flash is absurd!... How Apple is tied to the damn awkward iTunes...

I've used them many times iPhones and the iPads.. they are just to hard to use for tech savvy people! You know when a friend tells you to help him out with their Apple device... I did save a couple of them but I prefer to say that I dont know how to use them to save my self the headache of the iOS limitations!
[Android General] Tzizzel:
In my opinion iOS is better than android. I m a person who loves pretty things and everytime I look on my android i get sick of the design. Ok you can customize everything but you will never reach the design level of iOS.

So my next mobile phone will be clearly an iphone.
[Android General] stuart0001:
There's a button on all android phones that'll make it look like iphone. It's called all apps. :p
[Android General] telep:
Maybe they dont want to reach iOS level of design, in my opinion iOS looks childish. My next phone surely wont be iPhone because it lacks many common things i use everyday.
[Android General] thebobp:
espier launcher, launcher 7 if you want iOS, windows phone pretty respectively.

Who says you can't out-customize everything? :p

(Espier launcher even customizes many of iOS' limitations in, so.. enjoy.)
[Android General] CYKEB:
I really would like to see WP 7 and 8 as an equal competitor.

The OS is so smooth, and the Metro-UI is just a real great thing.

The lack of customization is just a personal problem, I see more and more people (geeks and non-geeks) to fall in love with this OS.

As a Mac user I sometimes think, that an iPhone would be great, as there are so much apps which can sync between both platforms, but there I don't like the many restrictions.
[Android General] telep:
Biggest problem of WP is that it is locked down from top to botom. You cant change anything on that OS.
[Android General] mistermentality:
True but it also makes it the most secure os for those worried about malware apps or user caused errors.

I was at Bestbuy yesterday and in front of me was this girl who has an Iphone. She was asking crap stuff about cases and apps that she needs. The other sales rep called me and I asked him if they have a white Galaxy Note or a white HTC One X. Then this girl looked at me and said Iphone is better. I gave her this "are you f***ing kidding me look". I told this girl I don't want an Iphone because I've been an Iphone user from the original to the 4s, and sick and tired of IOs being boring and bland. That shut her up.

I laughed everytime I hear or read comments on how IOs is pretty compared to Android. I guess you're either blind or just an iSheep. Let me tell you, I used to be an Isheep. I used to hate Android even if I never used or tried it. Then last year I bought the 4S. After 2 weeks of used I returned it and bought the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and never looked back.
[Android General] votinh:
Over-excited about your new adventure is good but blasting off iOS like above is unnecessarily. Another point, to you, you might think iOS is boring but to others, a lot of others, they never get bored, in fact, MAJORITY of people do NOT want a change, even a slight change. Seriously, even with the same phone, changing GUI already made them yell "suck, i want the old one back", kind like that. Take Windows OS as an example, I've seen so many people downplay Win7 when it first arrived and constantly said WinXP is better "Win7 suck, I never ever want it, I want XP, the most stable OS", ...... Those people were the same one once said "WinXP suck, I only need Win98, it's best". Basically, they want a consistency, a phone that have everything the same, especially the interface.
[Android General] iJimaniac:
Speaking of PC OSes, it is my opinion that android is much closer to a full PC os than ios will ever be. I mean, talking to an ios fanboy, I realized that their view of what a mobile os does is just a list of apps! I was talking to this guy about how much I have customized my android, and he says "so whats the point of changing your list of apps around?" I guess that's what they view it as because that really IS what ios is; a list of apps! No Widgets, no multitasking, no file exploring and editing, no anything! Talk about a sad life! I mean, when I use android, I use it just like I would use windows or Ubuntu. I think android phones shouldn't be called smartphones, but pocketPCs. Anyone disagree?

I was thinking about the comparison, and doesn't it make sense to compare nexus devices with the apple iOS? People complaining about the use of a gnex in the comparison should look at it this way: iPhone releases as a pure Apple experience! Nexus releases as a pure Google Android experience...hmmm!

I have used this video to help people think before they buy an iPhone. Great work!
[Android General] killer510:
That's the most important thing, what I think. I don't care what people say about this and that. I buy what I think is the best for me. Out of all my circle of friends, me and my other buddy are the only Android users, all are Iphone users. They kept blasting us off for going Android but when we ask them what made them choose IOs, all say because it's Apple.
[Android General] mcord11758:
Was talking with a friend about this the other day and all he could say is you can not beat apples ecosystem. How things just pair together and sync. Of course I explained how you can sync things with Google as well but finished the conversation with the more you entwine yourself in their ecosystem the more you will excuse their subpar development of their OS as well as their substandard phones

So is iOS6 going to address all these issues?? :confused: :D
[Android General] stuart0001:
Only if it includes an Android emulator :p
[Android General] blackhand1001:
I just can't stand the lack of dedicated app button and how the apps have hard time interacting with one another. Android is far superior in this regard, especially the share API. Without a back button a task like opening a link in an email and then returning back to the email to reply becomes disorienting.
[Android General] thebobp:
It's pretty unlikely. Why fix what's making you money?

There's little or no incentive for Apple to perform anything more than incremental updates like they've been already (e.g. the weather widget). So I wouldn't hold my breath for iOS6.
[Android General] MissionImprobable:
Actually, I'm expecting a great video like the last release detailing all the features that they stole from Android and WP and are now passing off as their own innovations. Of course, they will still be behind. There's no way that they manage to implement all of what has been added in with the new ICS features. I can say one thing though: they better update the basic phone theme because even iOS lovers are complaining about how dated the entire system looks at this point.
[Android General] someone3974:
Nice. Worth share! Tnx！
[Android General] votinh:
That is so true, not only you, me too, and I believe there's other groups too. So, we know iOS users are all over us, more like the majority, we're Android somehow a minority. Do I care about that? No, not a bit, am I irritated over other iPhone owners? Nah, don't have to. Blasting me off with iOS, not a chance.

My case, an SGS2 with AOKP, many friends around me, especially female friends are iPhone owners and lovers, even my g/f. They keep saying they love iPhone. I just shrug off and say nothing, just happily playing with my SGS2. "wow, that's cool, can I do it on my phone" they asked. No, I said.

That's simple.
[Android General] MissionImprobable:
Just adding a little illustration.:p

Ah, and one of my parental units was trying to use Apple's translator app with voice input yesterday. Major flaws in it. Worked fine going from English to Spanish, but would always say unable to understand as soon as you tried to do voice for Spanish to English. Google Translate works fine both ways, though I have to say they need to improve their tolerances as it doesn't understand the variances in vocal range very well when dealing with foreign languages. Still, pound for pound Google/Android take the belt.
[Android General] xlazaruzx:
The way I see iOS vs Android is like Fisher Price vs Lego. With Fisher Price (iOS) all you get are circle, square, and triangle blocks and make them fit to the right shapes, that's it. There is no logical thinking. With Lego (Android) you have different complex blocks that you can transform into anything you like. It's all about what you like and this is what I prefer.
[Android General] eroracing:
Lol....... that is a perfect analogy of the situation!
[Android General] DiKei:
I think ...

iOS same as Mac OS X is closed-source project. It's very optimized os, yeah, it's very nice. But ... it's only for devices with Apple manufacture. It's good for developers. Port iOS 5 for 3G is easy, because it's have similar camera's, drivers and other things. But it's very expansive.

Android is open-source project, it's beautifull idea for developers. They can do anything with device, but ... optimization is not good as in iOS. And android can be port for devices with WM.

I'm simple user - I need a lot of functions in smartphone, optimization isn't on my "need list" :)

Guess I just don't know how to read then :rolleyes: Regardless of him loving WP as well the fact is that he specifically said that he wishes iPhone did everything his Android does; he also said iOS is great for people that don't use computers or are afraid of technology as I stated.

[Android General] mistermentality:
I was only pointing out he prefers ios as your post seemed to imply he thought android was best.

The article at http://m.gizmodo.com/5876719/steve-wozniak-prefers-android-to-iphone-kind-of is where the comments you refer to can be found and it says he meant the gps navigation and voice recognition.

In a follow up interview at http://m.engadget.com/2010/11/18/exclusive-woz-misquoted-almost-every-app-that-i-have-is-bette/ he specifically explained this and stressed he believes iphone apps are better than android and that his comments previously were misinterpreted.

That was all I meant, that woz really does say iphone is better but he did prefer androids gps navigation and voice commands.

[Android General] monkeyluis:
These videos are so full of half truths & lies. So much misinformation. I could go point by point & show how things can be done on iOS. I have a Samsung galaxy tab 2 & my iPad right next to each other. 99% of the stuff is exactly the same. The 1%? Oh I can't put a widget on my iPad. Oh well.

I'd like to add regarding the last video & wifi syncing. You can do this on its, either with other apps or yes, even iTunes. Syncing is syncing. You can also use google music, as shown, on ios, as well as amazon cloud player.

If you're going to make comparisons, then do it correctly. Make sure to research & understand what iOS can do before saying it can't.

Yes I do agree that android is easy to use, I enjoy it myself on the galaxy tab 2. Both have there pluses & minuses. But they are so close in use & capability that it's a non-issue now, in my opinion.
[Android General] sadie2099:

Great videos
[Android General] MissionImprobable:
Was it really worthwhile to join and make those comments? The videos are well done and even many Apple lovers had to admit the shortcomings. If Apple weren't lacking they wouldn't have stolen so many Android capabilities for iOS 6.

Syncing on iTunes is not the same as Syncing on Android. I don't lose playlists or other info that has been manipulated outside of my computer when I sync with Android like I would with iTunes. Glad you watched the vids, sorry you couldn't watch them with an open mind.

If you didn't notice, throughout the video series he also compared the android tablet (transformer) with IOS's ipad.
[Android General] monkeyluis:
I didn't join just for that. I have android & iOS so I know what both can do. Yes I agree that apple does have some short comings. But there is a lot he was not telling the truth about or was not aware that iOS can do.

I don't understand what having an open mind has to do with it. I'm pretty open minded considering I use both systems.

Also why bring up iOS 6, no one has mentioned it.

I'd be happy to reply regarding any of the points he's made. & I'll admit when apple has done a poor job.
[Android General] monkeyluis:
Such as? There were quite a few. Look, I agree iOS doesn't have a lot of what android has. But this dude was clearly wrong in a lot of areas.

Again I'd be happy to counter any of his points & admit when iOS is lacking.

And he's more than welcome to respond to me.
[Android General] monkeyluis:
Btw, he only mentioned moving music & also talked about Google Music. Let's stick to what he mentioned. That's all I've addressed.

Just like I'll admit when apple sucks you should admit when this dude was wrong.

Is there a particular thing he says ios can't do that you disagree with or is he just wrong in general?

[Android General] monkeyluis:
It's not that I disagree with him. In fact I agree with a lot of it. But what I have a problem with is that he doesn't mention 3rd party solutions to certain problems or makes one issue an overblown problem. Or he'll say you can't do this on iOS... But fails to mention how it can be done. Maybe not as easy, fine but it can be done, to fail to mention this is dishonest & shows bias.

I just went through video 1 again & took notes & will post them.
[Android General] mistermentality:
You make some very good points, thank you. I don't have ios so it is interesting to get counter arguments to the op's points from a user of both systems.

I brought up iOS 6 because it showcases all the shortcomings that Apple finally addressed that Android has been doing forever.

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Just my opinion, but most of your points still seem to be admitting that the items he brought up show that Android does it better and you prefer Android's methodology.

I'd like to know, how is the Android App drawer cluttered? It's alphabatized, meaning that if you can spell you know where your apps are. What's difficult about that?
[Android General] monkeyluis:
I don't prefer one over the other. I like both. See the difference was I was being honest & saying what both can do or have the potential to do whether it be 1st or 3rd party. Again being dishonest about a feature & blaming it on the os when it isn't the OSes fault kinda throws your credibility off with me.

The app drawer is a grid of icons, just like the apple screens. I didn't say anything was difficult, but saying the apple screen is cluttered & ugly is being biased & unfair when the ICS app drawer looks exactly the same. Here is how I would have said it.

"Over the last few years apple has not made any changes to the way you can lay out your icons, they are still just a grid. This works for some people & you can have quick access to your apps. If you want you can even have certain apps & folders on the home screen & have your other apps on your other screens. While there are no widgets there is at least some options to organize your screens.

While on ICS you can now have home screens that you can customize and have widgets, apps, folders etc. the app drawer itself though is still a grid of icons."

Do you see the difference? I don't chastise one os over the other. I talk a out the differences. Just a small example of how this guy could have been unbiased & fair.

Btw, my app drawer on my galaxy tab is not in alphabetical order. The initial set of apps are that were there when I bought it. But after that, anything I've installed is not.

Btw, ios6 is not mentioned in this video & again has nothing to do with this conversation. I'm actually disappointed in ios6 for the most part. Hey screenshots have been in ios for a long time, should I bring that up. No, cause it doesn't matter.

Look I'm not trying to argue or anything, I'm simply trying to make the point that if you review something you know the ins & outs of a product before you comment. Just like I won't comment on BB or WP or another android tablet.
[Android General] monkeyluis:
So here is a screenshot of my iPhone phone screen. No widgets, but I can organize my apps on the "home" screen. It's not so bad. My galaxy tab is very similar. The apps I use most frequently are on the home screen along with a weather widget.
[Android General] monkeyluis:
Screenshot of my Galaxy Tab 2
[Android General] vetvito:
Hmmmm. You can't compare a app drawer to a home screen, that's disingenuous
[Android General] monkeyluis:
I didn't. I compared app drawer to app drawer.
[Android General] MissionImprobable:
The point though is that while the app drawer may be a grid system, which just makes sense, it is hidden unless you need it. The only way to minimize the Apple homescreen is to create folders. Can't say it's not a pain to have to add apps to specific folders everytime you download them. That's why generally I use a different launcher even though I run MIUI most of the time. It's just annoying to have to drag them all around for the ease of organization that comes out of the box on Android. I don't see anything wrong with the way Wicked described it, but if you did I really can't argue it.
[Android General] monkeyluis:
Fair enough. Thanks.
[Android General] benthe1:
Alright Monkey, he is kind of being biased but that's kind of the purpose. He's doing what Apple does when comparing their product to others and guess what? It works. Though, I would say he is being more unbiased since he really has nothing to gain from doing these videos, he just wants to inform the masses.
