Anonymous, 18 Mar 2011Android is not good as iOS. Can`t wait to iPhone 5 it will be the best mobile phone during 201... moreone thing that you and all the other "suposivly" tech savy apple
nerds should never forget is that apple have been doing apps for at least 5 years now where android have only been doing apps about 2-3 years. apple had a huge lead in the apps market. for android to be so close to apple in just half the time is an amazing acheivment and do not forget that there have been apps that apple have bought from android. i have worked for apple about 6 years now and i will say this. that android apps market is a big competitor to iOS and they are both fantastic phones.

Mn Iphone is not worth buying for its original price. android is killing ios
and u are on about iphone 5 and 6 dont be too sure HTC will always get a masterpiece out which will merk iphone
just like evo 4g did to iphone 4 and htc desire did to iphone 3gs and htc hero did to iphone 3g

The thing is that most of the Android apps are converted from iOS ones, especially games.

I really hope that GOOGLE will control their Market.
There should be an aproval mechanism just like iOS.
Other than that , iOS is better in Games and Android is
better in all other categories.

It's all fine and dandy... but it IS NOT about the number of apps but the quality of the ones available!!!
On iTunes over 17.5% of the apps are actually just books and Android Market prob the same. It is ofc. very nice to be able to just download a book with one or two clicks but still if one book = one app then 350k or 250k gives a wronk picture of the actual app number.

Lets be honest if some smartfone neophyte asks you which is the best smartfone to buy the answer is simple. Apple anything they are staright forward and have a really clean user interface. You can also go down to any apple store and yak to death the sales/techo staff in a bid to learn how to use it. There is a huge "help desk" resource on the ground.
If on the other hand the person is reasonably PC literate and knows things like "files" and "ram" and can "swap" a memory card then a Samung Galaxy S Android can give them hours of pleasurable fun learning how to use it and flexing their brain. So if my grandad asked which one, i would say Iphone if my teanagers asked which one, i would say a good Samsung Android Galaxy S.
Neither is better. Humans are the most adaptable things on the planet. Just get what fits..........

Android users r very smart people because they knew that they r free to download anything or change anything in the OS that means android users r innovative people and android OS r innovative platform which giving freedom to users.
