Android/Apple

by leighsydneychina - 5/6/12 7:25 PM

There are 2 items I notice here. One is that a reviewer who is an apple user basically said that she would not use android, not for any technical reason, but she was either too lazy or incompetent to bother. I have no preference for either, but spending half an hour to re-configure your phone stuff is pretty easy. A proper review should also include the process.. as done... not as "I can't be bothered"

Secondly it seems that Samsung is going down the apple path of handcuffing users to their bespoke storage and systems. I have a samsung phone and an apple phone... I dont really like this and find it off-putting. It is, after all a tool, not a life-style or whatever you want to call it. Mostly it is a toy. I use my smart phones constantly, but if there is a better way, I will change.

I have both an Android device and an iPhone active on my shared account. I use both phones from time to time but prefer my Android device. I can't exactly quantify why, just that I like the Android OS better.

Apple/Android

There are mostly two types of lovers are their in world. Apple And android

Apple is which fast growing company from last few years and android fast growing name in past 1 year and may be continue in upcoming year.

Some suggest Apple some suggest Android.

But you look on trend that now a days Android is more than Apple Due to it's lots of free application and easy to use and smart features come with all latest phone come with Android OS.

Drawback of Apple is only that it's policy you can connect, share and install only Application that are available on Apple store. and connect only friend with Apple mobile user. This is not really like and not good.

It's a tool. Get one that does the job and then whatever else you need.

It may upset some but newbies tend to forget the basics and rally around this or that.

Both are great gadgets, makes your life easy and convenient especially at work.

Apple I think is just famous than Android, I don't know.. Assumed.
It just depends on your preference and besides there are lots of innovative devices that has been and continually rising, so it's just a matter of how efficiently you maximize the usage of those devices.
