Anonymous, 27 Apr 2011Yeah! cheers to the creative r&d team of apple who can ... moreYeah! cheers to the creative r&d team of apple who can only design one phone!!! nice job guys! I'm sure the next gen of iphone will look different from the latest one and will fix all of these flaws:
Hardware design is prone to reception issues >> Have you used the iPhone 4 or any other iPhone? or just a reader? I never experienced signal reception issue on iPhone 4, its better since my iPhone 3G, as good as my Palm Treo 650.
MicroSIM card support only>> does it matter? I guess not, and MicroSIM will be the future, just wait and see.
No Flash support in the web browser>> You can find a lot of write-up about it, technical and non-tech. Flash is not optimized for Mobile, it non-sense to use on Mobile.
No true multitasking for all applications>> Read more how it's being implemented. I don't have to explain.
FaceTime video calls work only over Wi-Fi>> Does other Smartphone have this??? Solid implementation?
No file transfer over Bluetooth or USB Mass Storage mode>>>
No hardware shutter key for the camera >>> So??? This is phone, get a camera if you want shutter key, and better photos.
No FM radio >>> what's the use? You have media player.
No stereo speakers >>>can you appreciate the stereo sound on a mobile? Get a mini-component.
No microSD card slot >>>So? Does it matter? carry a laptop if you have terrabytes of data to load coz even SD card cannot handle it.
No smart dialing>>>???
Too dependent on iTunes for loading multimedia content>>> This one i don't like first, but when you get used to it, i like it even more, it's easier to organized and managed music.
Poor loudspeaker performance >>>This is a mobile, get a loudspeaker if you really need it.

Exactly android is much newer than apple and is just starting to become well known (or heard of) to the majority of the people around the world.
Must young people like iphone because they think it's trendy, stylish, hip, cool etc. and a lot of the older generation only know the iphone due to it's marketing hype and over exposure in media etc.
Android will soon conquer smartphone market worldwide, unless other os have something special to come...

even though i am an android fans, i honestly says it's probably because due to the much greater variety of phone with the android.. and for ios, well u stuck with the iphone, nonetheless it still does a very god job.. from my point of view, they maybe lost to android, but they do had a die hard fans, whom willing to buy any crap that apple shits for..

Shreshth, 27 Apr 2011B4 commenting without thinking ppl.. Just keep tht in mind.... moreI think it's fair to say that the iPhone is not just ONE phone as there have been a number of versions since the original release all of which have some footprint in the smartphone OS market.
Remember as well that iOS had a 2-year headstart on Android as a smartphone OS so it's not really surprising that it has a relatively big market share. If iOS and Android were launched at the same time (and if Apple didn't have such extraordinarily unwarranted marketing hype!) it's likely that Android would be way WAY ahead of iOS right now.

I've had 5 Android devices in my life, Hero, Milestone, Desire HD, Xperia Arc and Desire S.
and its all just the same crap at the end of the day. No matter what phone you get Android is exactly the same.
Apps are crap,
its buggy,
even games by Gameloft on Android have lag.
Most apps are just a copy from Apple appstore.
Also there a gamesw on the appstore that cost 59p and on the android market its £2.99 (WTF)
Battery is crap,
phone switches off.
Had to force close my phone call few times
Can't wait for iPhone 5

Shreshth, 27 Apr 2011B4 commenting without thinking ppl.. Just keep tht in mind.... moreWhat you say would be ok if you are talking about the physical phones... but this survey is about the desirability of the OS.
So, the operating system has to be powerful enough to attract the buyer to the phone.
In this case it is a triumph for Android over iOS and not that of some phone brand over the Apple brand. :)
