OS hierarchy

by karmasai - 6/21/11 4:41 PM

i feel like the iPhone was able to bring smartphones into popularity, but because something is popular doesn't make it the best. Symbian phones: the progenitors. iOS; the status quo. Android; Power Users. Agreed? Any complaints? Did I miss another really popular one? send a reply.

Is answered by our choices. I would not push android on mom or dad but might set them up with an iPhone. And then I have some droid phone.

Once in awhile folk want to push choices on others, it's been a great time watching choices enter the cell phone market.

Its really all up to the user. As for iOS, the Iphone or apple being 100% the reason smartphones became popular, not sure on that there could be pages written on the argument.

I have never been an apple fan, personally do not understand why people feel the need to talk and or post about it in android forums, seems to be the apple way though.

As for did you miss something, no, the more options the better right.

How about this? Skins and apps?

Since we are seeing "skins" the user interface (who cares about the OS today?) can morph to what most want.

And then we have apps. I can't explain it, but a recent article proclaimed death to any phone that doesn't have "Angry Birds." While I may grimace at that statement I think they really meant "It's all in the apps."

Again the OS fades behind the scenes.
