Or you could click on one of the other 6 Apple vs Android threads on the front page alone.

[stretch]

but this keeps it from being spread into 6 threads, and puts it all on the table into one

[lefty]

I have to agree with Dex :D

Hi

Kobe sticky didn't work...why would this.

Here's the debate in a nutshell.

iOS- Pros- Stable and works with devices (except in Hater's situation, but that was user error.) Cons- Not customizable without a jailbreak.

Android- Pros- Customizable out of the box. Cons- Doesn't always work with all devices, manufacturers add too much bloatware with their own UIs and carriers add on top of that.

That's pretty much it. Others will elaborate and go on and on, but at the core, that's the debate.

Yeah, the iPhone only has ONE con. :lmao Roflstomp.

I didn't say it had 1 con, I said that was the core of the debate. Android has more than 2 but I only listed 2 because again, the core of the debate. Anything anyone ever says about the phones, good or bad, has the points I listed at its core.

Go look again at every single iOS or Android thread and see what they like and don't like.

[MannyIsGod]

RIM or Web OS tbh. Windows Phone 7.

No. It's not. But good try anyway.

This is like the evo and apple debate last year.



Same nerds talking about the same shit :stirpot:

[hater]

fanboys might want to spin it all they want

but truth is DING DONG STEVE JOBS IS DEAD

Windows 8 coming out with a vengeance, will overtake tablet market. Yeah girls and ladyboys will still buy iphones and ipads. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

i'm betting that windows 8 and Android fight with each other for sales while the iPad continues to cruise along.

incorrect, the system prompted and recommended me to update my iOS. then my iphone became useless.

disagree, the tablet market has dissapointed both Google and Apple. They expected to be selling a lot more.

IMO cause their software still feels unfinished. It's good enough for a phone, but not a tablet.

what is the major complaint when ipad came out that made Steve Jobs go full EMO (it's a big iphone) he thought "slap my phone OS on it and ge good to go" no, no, no

Microsoft looks like they are actually gonna sell a complete package next year, especially since HTML5 will be official.

I can see that, but Apple is still selling a lot of iPads, and no one else is really moving tablets at the moment. I wonder if tablet prices may start being affected by the Thailand flooding. HDD prices are insane right now.

here you go:
Steve going full EMO

Steve Jobs was “depressed and annoyed” following bevy of iPad complaints

By John Hiesler:
Though the iPad has quickly ushered in a new era of tablet computing, its initial introduction didn’t capture the imagination of the public in the same way that the iPhone struck a chord with consumers the instant they saw in action.
Commenting on this in the newly released Steve Jobs biography, Walter Isaacson relays that Jobs was personally saddened by the relatively lukewarm response following his iPad unveiling in early 2010. While premature tech proclamations tend to disappear with time, especially when they’re way off base, you might remember that initial reaction to the iPad was something along the lines of “And this is a big deal because why?”

Indeed, many were quick to dismiss it as an oversized iPod Touch :lol and some even went so far as to proclaim that Apple had lost its mojo.
Reading through Jobs’ biography, it’s apparent that among other personality traits, Jobs was an emotional man who wore his heart on his sleeve - for better or worse. :rollin

So in light of the lukewarm response that followed Steve Jobs’ iPad introduction, the Apple co-founder confided in Isaacson on the evening of the iPad launch that he was annoyed and depressed as a result. What’s more, Jobs said he received around 800 emails the day he announced the iPad, with most of them being negative critiques about Apple’s latest device.

There’s no USB cord! There’s no this, no that. Some of them are like, ‘F**k you, how can you do that?’ I don’t usually write people back, but I replied, ‘Your parents would be so proud of how you turned out.’ :lol And some don’t like the iPad name, and on and on.

“I Kind of got depressed today,” Jobs recounted. “It knocks you back a bit.”
Apple and Jobs would of course go on to have the last laugh. Apple to date has sold millions upon millions of iPads and at one point was even struggling to manufacture enough units to meet insatiable demand. During the most recent quarter, Apple shipped 11.12 million iPads which translates to about 120,000 units per day.
Not too bad for a device that many deemed dead-on-arrival not too long ago.
