Here are seven ways in which Android 2.2 is superior to the iPhone. [rest of story at link above] I'm guessing the Apple fans will say that each of the iPhone limitations is a benefit in some way. -- Paul Miner

Ifan response #3.2: "All the 7 things you metion above I can do it all with my iPhone 3gs. What's the big deal? iPhone is very use friendly phone, especially the multitouch screen Android is lack of it. For though who's heavy cell phone usage I would recomend the iPhone over the Android." Same bullshit....new day. Froyo and Flash are gonna eat fruit for lunch! Providing wifi service to the iPad at the demo was just GENIUS!....(c;] How's Jobs gonna block out connecting iPad to your new Froyofone? Why would anyone with a Flash Froyophone WANT a hobbled up Maxipad?? -- Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics. Larry

An Apple will come up with a reason to sue Google for infringing on something.

Interesting article, but several items are only partially correct. 1. Tethering. It's not the iPhone that can't tether, it's AT&T that doesn't allow it. And there are ways to tether the iPhone by jail-breaking it and using an app like MyWi. Also, with pre-3.1.2 versions of the firmware you can get it to tether without jail-breaking. 2. It turns your phone into a WiFi hotspot. A jail-broken iPhone can do this. 3. It plays Flash. Yes, that's a huge advantage of newer Android models over the iPhone. You get the whole web, not just part of it. 4. It has open apps. Yes, this is a good feature, though it's a trade-off for now since the Apple aps store has so many more apps than are available for Android. And again, a jail-broken iPhone has open apps. 5. It multi-tasks. The iPhone does kind of do this, sometimes. It does task switching anyway. 6. It has better browsers. True. 7. It gives more carrier choice. That's the real biggie here. But a Verizon iPhone appears imminent. 8. Given all that, why would anyone buy an iPhone rather than an Android phone? I don't know; it beats me. Having used both an iPhone and an Android phone I can see the reasons why someone might be willing to accept the iPhone's limitations. No one disputes that the hardware features and some of the OS features are better on the Android phones. Some reasons: 1. The breadth of applications for the iPhone far exceeds what's available on Android. 2. If you're into iTunes you may want to move your purchased music over to the iPhone from the iPod, and continue to use the iTunes store for music. 3. The ergonomics and user interface of the iPhone are more intuitive with less of a learning curve. Also, don't forget that the current iPhone model is about to be discontinued in favor of the new model which may address some of the issues that the article talks about.

For those of us that don't care about games it's a non-issue. >2. If you're into iTunes you may want to move your purchased music over >to the iPhone from the iPod, and continue to use the iTunes store for music. If you must use iTunes (ugh), there are easy ways to sync it with non-Apple devices. >3. The ergonomics and user interface of the iPhone are more intuitive >with less of a learning curve. It's clear you don't have much if any real Android experience. >Also, don't forget that the current iPhone model is about to be >discontinued in favor of the new model which may address some of the >issues that the article talks about. Vaporware, the final refuge of the iFan. -- Best regards, John If the iPhone is really so impressive, why do iFans keep making excuses for it? |
