[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Great read. I agree 100% with your conclusion. iOS is a great OS but dated by todays standards. Their hardware has always been top quality and sexy. Devices also get several good years of upgrades also. Really, iOS just needs Widget support and you basically have a good Android-like iOS setup (since the Notification Drawer was already copied).

For most people, Apple gets the job done.

For me, as a hobbyist, iOS gets boring quick. I also don't like how some of the Jailbreak mods actually cost money?! Basic tasks such as reading emails, surfing, etc are easy on either platform; but things get ugly on iOS when I try to sit down to do some ACTUAL work. I work out in the field. Getting files on and off my device, on the fly, without internet or network connectivity is a MUST. I also don't like the fact that I had to sync ALL of my files and ALL of my music each time I wanted to do crap. There is absolutely no need to have 3 copies of everything (home, work, and device) just to function. I also don't like my personal files being synced on my corporate computer.

If iOS would update it's "launcher" to something a little more customizable and somehow solve the problem of iTunes (Cloud Sync maybe, ala Play Store style), I would be sold.

Also reading your initial Nexus 7 review by an iPad User, I just wanted to comment on the stupid home button/spacebar issue. Use Tablet Mode. Several roms have this built in as an option in settings. Don't screw with the initial method of DPI editing. Tablet mode puts the Nav buttons in the left corner and the Status Bars/Clock in the bottom right, clearing up the middle. EOS also now has an option to hide the dock entirely from an Option in the Power menu.

Ironically, this is what makes Android great.
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
Well, at least you weren't essentially saying "this design choice isn't like on Android; I don't like it".
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
@OP

Nice goatee.

>But i don’t understand why Apple is so focused on mimicking different materials on screen. Showing contacts in a notebook like background doesn’t look good.

It's a UI design approach called skeuomorphism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeuomorph). The rationale is simple enough: to use familiar constructs to enhance user comfort level and increase intuition of use.

An example of skeuomorphism is the "printed book" design with page-flipping animation, used in many e-book readers. Functionally, it's not needed. But by presenting the text as a familiar object which we all know how to use, it's immediately intuitive--swiping side-to-side to flip pages--and we tend to like it better out of familiarity.

Another advantage is that it allows a "3D" effect in a 2D presentation. By using real-world constructs, we can also emulate attendant characteristics, weight, speed, light-sourcing, etc. This allows us to introduce "mood", ie an emotional appeal, to the presentation. Humans are emotional creatures, and a UI won't get far by sticking only to the functional.

Like any aesthetic, it's dependent on individual tastes. Some will like it and some won't. iOS uses skeuo extensively, and there's some controversy over the issue.

http://google.com/search?q=ios+skeuomorphism

A clear contrast to iOS' skeuo use would be Windows Metro UI with its emphasis on stark lines and minimalism. It's not better or worse, per se. Aesthetic is about what you like.
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Thanks for the info about skeuomorphism, didnt know that. It doesnt really change the fact that the UI looks old school IMHO compared to Jelly Bean and WP8 though. I love the windows phone approach as much as Android, but just can't get along with the iOS apps like calendar. I mean the calendar is not even looking like a nice real world calendar but an ugly one. Of course this is all a matter of taste. But I believe that older people would prepare the ios approach more often, while the younger generation which grows up with tablets and smartphones will prefer the more mordern UI of the competition.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>It doesnt really change the fact that the UI looks old school IMHO compared to Jelly Bean and WP8 though.

Yes, the main criticism of skeuo is that many of the visual metaphors used in iOS are archaic--eg rolodex--and don't resonate with younger users who have no experience with them.

IMO, visual metaphors as a whole are helpful in transitioning users from real-world knowns to the digital UI, and as such, should be employed. I don't think it's an either/or issue, but more a matter of degree, and of the appropriateness of the metaphors chosen.

Skeuo designs are rich in detail, and as said, can be imbued with emotion. MS' Metro design, by contrast, is minimalist and functional, but lacks an emotional element. While I personally favor the second approach, I think by and large people prefer the first. This is borne out by Apple users' strong loyalty to the brand, which isn't true for most any other OS/computer brands.

Cultural tastes change, and UI designs change along with them. iOS hasn't changed much since the first iPhone, and is overdue for a facelift. But Apple products have always had an emotional angle, and I doubt Apple will discard its present design for something strictly functional like Metro.
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Yes, most younger people just don't care about i.e. fake leather stitching...

The thing that bothers me is that half of iOS can't be based on real live things, so the skeuomorphism can't be universally used in iOS which makes the UI feel inconsistent.

Actually looking at the great metro UI and live tiles of WP i feel and see more emotion than on the iOS calendar. ;)

I agree that this approach will be fine for a lot of people, but i wouldn't go as far to say that skeuomorphism is the only UI way to be effective regarding emotions.
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Yep, i was really expecting some more UI changes with iOS 6 but it seems like Apple it not trying to make any big changes here...

Just to clarify: the initial Nexus 7 review by an iPad user wasn't from me but another guy. ;)

This is a very interesting Article about Apples design decisions:

[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:

It's biased. It's an advocacy piece, and doesn't try to maintain any balance. One can glean its gist in two seconds, simply by seeing the "visual masturbation" subheading. The use of colored and inflammatory words always means a crass attempt to persuade, and the piece is true to the formula. It's not worth considering.

That doesn't mean the issue isn't worthy of consideration. I think the larger issue is that iOS is getting long in the tooth and needs an major update, as competing mobile OS'es are at parity, and even surpassing it in certain aspects.
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
I agree. But i found the pieces about internal apple discussions interesting. And some statements from previous apple employees.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>But i found the pieces about internal apple discussions interesting. And some statements from previous apple employees.

Those are hearsay. Even if they were true, they would be cherry-picked, given the piece's extreme slant. I disregard them out of hand.

The piece makes two claims, but never supports them with explanation or evidence. Most of it is an empty appeal to authority, ie experts, Apple insiders, et al. It doesn't add insight or clarity, only noise.

Some of the other articles concerning iOS' use of skeuomorph are more even-handed. One can make an argument that MS Metro is better than iOS--which would not be surprising, since Metro comes after, and has the benefit of hindsight.

But at the end of the day, there is no "right" way. I think the ultimate arbiter is whether iOS is "good enough," and at this point, it is, in maintaining Apple's hegemony in mobile. Every indication is that iPhone 5 and the reported iPad Mini will sell very well. That may not hold true next year, but now isn't then.
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
There is no hard evidence regarding the insider claims but i find it very believable that not all apple designer are big fans of skeuomorphism. Seems like a given fact.

But I'd love to read more even articles, as this one really is clearly taking sides. Can you post some links? It's a very interesting topic i want to read more about.
[Nexus 7 General] tgerbracht:
A nice sane comparison. Good job.

http://sachagreif.com/what-skeuomorphism-is-and-isnt/

This second is an elaborate criticism of iOS' implementation of skeuo. This doesn't mean I agree with it, but it does provide fodder for thought. Some of the comments are also introspective.

http://www.fastcodesign.com/1669879/can-we-please-move-past-apples-silly-faux-real-uis

Some valid critiques of bad uses of skeuo, with specific examples:

http://www.wired.com/magazine/2012/01/st_thompson_analog/

http://gizmodo.com/5849940/ugh-god-why-apple-is-making-everything-look-like-an-ugly-wild-west?

Lastly, remember that we're basically talking about applied art, where beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For every "Metro is beautiful" praise, there's a "who put a Fisher-Price toy in my PC" complaint.

Actually, from anecdotal observation, I think Metro's praise-complaint ratio is strongly NOT in MS' favor. It certainly wasn't good enough to get WP7 out of the 2% paper cup. We'll see how it fares on the PC screen. My prognosis isn't optimistic. It may end up being a case-study of where good design doesn't necessarily make for a good product.
[Nexus 7 General] Rakeesh_j:
I pre-ordered the nexus 7, and owned it for about a month before my boss gave me a free ipad 2. Been using both for a while now.

You've pretty much nailed it, though I'd like to add the following two items:

Editing text on the ipad is very annoying because it lacks controls for fine placement of the cursor. There is no option for arrow buttons, and tapping in the text field doesn't yield an enlarged cursor for fine placement. Getting the cursor to exactly where you want it is difficult for this reason.

Scrolling on the ipad can be a bit annoying if you have come from android. On ipad, if you are viewing a large document, and swipe down to scroll down a bit, and then want to move left, you can't do so until you lift your finger and then place it down again to switch to its left and right mode. The same applies if you want to switch to a free movement mode. On android, the device intelligently determines what you are trying to do on the fly. If you started scrolling down, and want to move left to view the margin without lifting your finger, do so. Best of all, it does this while allowing you to do a perfectly linear scroll, or a free moving scroll depending on your hand movements.

One area where the ipad wins though is, as many have stated, its overall smoothness. Most of the time the difference is indistinguishable from project butter, but in a few cases the difference is rather glaring. Notably, google maps on ipad is a LOT smoother than google maps on the Nexus 7.

In general I carry around my nexus 7 more.
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
you just have to touch and hold, then iOS will show the text zoomed-in and you can easily positon the cursor anywhere in the text.
[Nexus 7 General] steveoriginal:
I liked it. Good post!
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Interesting articles, but 2 of them are also pretty openly not a fan of iOS skeuomorphism...i hope that wp8 gets the success they deserve, because it's a very consistent and effective OS and i love the UI.

I have an AT&T SGH-i747, I ordered a class 10 64GB SDXC card, when I put it in my phone it says "preparing sd card", then immediately says "it is now safe to remove your sd card". After several attempts to format the card (FAT, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS, which my computer does recognize) it started to tell me that my card was removed and to please insert another one once I insert it. There has never been an option to format the card in the storage section of settings, only to mount it, which yilded this result "prepating sd card" then immediately said "it is now safe to remove your sd card". I have serched through posts on this site and others, they all work under the premise that the card is no good and to exchange it, but my computer reads it just fine, so the card an't be bad, or they say that it comes formatted with exFAT which certain ROMs can't read, but I formatted it to FAT32 with no results. I am running Ariel ROM 2.07 with Ktoonzes Kernel. Any assistance you could provide would be GREATLY appreciated

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JustAnotherCider:
Have you tried verifying the card's indicated space and speed? If you received a faulty or fake one, files would rewrite over and over again on something like 1gb of data (causing some files to not be readable). As asked above, where did you get the card from?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
If you have e a custom kernel I.e faux, chances are it doesn't support exFAT.. In fact.. Most winxp computers don't either...

Assuming ur card is legit you need to get an adaptor and put it in a computer and format it to FAT.

I had the same problem with my sandisk 64 gb class 10.

I'd you look at my posts you will find step by step instructions on software I used etc.. Can't find it now on my phone.

Once you format it to FAT, it will work just fine. Assuming of course the card isn't defective

I got the card from some Amazon vendor, the first one didn't work at all, returned it and bought from a different Amazon vendor. Poped it in the phone and it says "preparing sd card" then immediately "it is now safe to remove your sd card". In storage settings I have the option to mount the card, but I just get those two messages again. Formatted to FAT32 because I saw exFAT was propriety from MS with the same results, I used minitools partition manager I believe it's called. My computer was able to read and write to the disk until I allowed Windows to reformat it to ntfs, which took hours to reach 25 percent so I force canceled the format and pulled the card. From that point forward minitools said it was a bad disk and Windows froze when it would try to read it. I am using a Windows Vista computer which does not give me the option to format the disk to FAT32, only exFAT and NTFS. I am running Ariel 2.07 ICS with KToonzes kernel. I have a rooted stock nand backup or am willing to change ROM's if it has something to do with that, can't test that though as I've already returned the card. I also would rather not spend $100+, I'd rather just get a 32GB for $20. Thanks for all your help so far, I hope this helps you help me.

It appears to me that when you forced cancel, your 64GB micro usb got corrupted (which should not have happened, but did) that's why your Windows cannot read it. May be some one with a Win7 machine can reformat it for you. It could be something real simple like the MBR string on your card.

I formatted my Sandisk 64GB MicroSDXC card to FAT32 (64k cluster size) with GUIFormat ( http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm). Even after that, it took some finagling to get it to work. I think I had to clear dalvik and also clear cache and data for the media related system apps... after that and a couple reboots (to force a media scan), it worked fine since. Make sure to allow enough time between reboots to allow media scan to complete (around 15 mins should be plenty), otherwise the media data may get out of whack again. Keep in mind that if you format your card correct BEFORE flashing your ROM, you probably won't have to jump through hoops to get your media data corrected.
