AnonD-1825, 06 Aug 2011"Dear Apple Users,you have no idea what android and it... moreHi friend,among those 46 percent you mentioned,there are people like me who love experimenting with new gadgets.And about games,almost every big game running on iOS is capable of running on android,for example,NFS,Asphalt 5 HD,PES,Backstab are definitely big games running on android.And,for trojans and malwares,if there are any,since android is very young,there are anti-viruses.Now even,ESET is bringing out a product of mobile security for android but not for iOS!Android is based on Linux kernel,to its very stable and not at all fragmented and don't corrupt.Since android is open source,we see so many daily developments for every aspect to make them better,but apple's updates don't solve issues.

Gem86, 06 Aug 2011Astonishing. You actually managed to cover everything that ... moreIf whatever u said is true , why would many fortune 500 companies adopt iphone or ipad instead of android devices?
most of the companies adopt nokia , windows as their pc or blackberry but never seen android because android is for geeks , iphone/berries are for for users .
once look at security , read the despcription below every app in market place , every app almost can access ur contacts information , ur critical important data , verizon iphone is the proof that many people are unsatisified with their current android phones and sales have been huge because iphone was 6 months old by that time and even today its best selling phone , most of the android device makers add lot of crappy apps and bad apps to make the phones look so different from each other , which is the reason for less developers making for android , for example angry birds came into android store in ending of 2010 i believe and at same time cut-the-rope was launched , exactly after 3 months , they announced that they got $6 million from appstore in 3 months but they didn't get even half of the money from ads made from angry birds from android . cut-the-rope experiments released in appstore i think , where is it in android store ? fail fail because developers needs money to make better apps in future with more advanced technologies and also profit.
most of the android users i have seen only see specs , when a phone comes out they buy it and then iphone comes and then again other android device comes , now start to compare one year old phones to new ones .
OEM's add what iphone doesn't have (like flash or physical keyboard) and they show superiority because thats the only way to attract consumers . if u see only 24% of them use gingerbread because updates are very slow in android , samsung too slow in that especially .
motorola gets update and samsung gets same update like 3 months after motorola and HTC says phone doesn't support update . just making people to buy more phones .
and if u read forbes , they named apple as 5th and google as 7th for most innovative companies.
i dont think fortune 500 companies or forbes is barinwashed and even almost all pilots of various airlines use iPad .
even with more market-share than iOS android store doesn't even make half revenue of appstore because no-one clicks ads.
if u see most of the iOS users they spent more time using their device for fun rather than tweaking , adding themes or making some ultility changes , most of the time android users spend to compare phones alltime and only think "my phone is great , i am using latest device" type of mentality and blame apple for nothing because demand for apple shares and their products tell how much people respect apple .
maybe we spend little more money on apple products for less features but reliablity is excellent , one of my friend still uses his original iphone and other friend iphone 3G , most of android users bought their devices maybe maximum 2 years back ? . one of my friend changed from galaxy to sensation without using galaxy s for even a single year and that easily tells me how good user experience is . i have never seen anyone switching iphones very soon , most of them switched iphones for new ones very very late because their current device can do the things they want (remove US people from list)

Every phone coming into market compares... moreAstonishing. You actually managed to cover everything that defines the blind Apple fan.
Congrats. Do I need to name them all? I think I will, it's just too much fun.
- Flash support. This is 'a term you've seen' which already tells me enough: you don't have the slightest clue what it means. Let me explain: many sites and especially games are unviewable or unplayable. This is not a 'feature'. It is an essential part of the internet browsing experience and opens up a lot of possibilities. Not having Flash is like censoring - you miss out on information you could have had.
- Updates. iOS updates do not solve problems, instead they remove features to solve them. Android (and Symbian) updates add features or fix those that did not work. This is called 'improvement' instead of the 'route of least resistance' that has become common practice in Apple updates.
- Open source. You contradict yourself. Open source doesn't matter to you because you don't notice it... but you definitely will when you root a device (or jailbreak an Iphone, but again, this is also limiting in a way). Mod teams are capable of creating a personalized version of Android should they want to - and this is happening and is a thriving community. Again, an opportunity to ADD features instead of omitting them, or removing them.
- Android Store. The store is more expansive, has more apps, more DIFFERENT apps and yes, also more junky apps. But there are also more *free* apps that are really very useful. In brief, the Android store offers everything the Apple store offers but has more, and usually has a version of what you need for free too. IOW it is better in every respect unless you're very lazy and can't be bothered to look around. If you rooted your device, pretty much every paid app can also be free, but let's not take that into account here.
- Every phone compares to Iphone. Sorry, not for me. Since the start of smartphones I have been viewing it as a portable computer. Because that is what it essentially is or should be. The smartphone is supposed to BUNDLE FEATURES in one device, meaning you should be able to do as much with it as allowed by the specs of it. Iphone specs are uninteresting, the iOS limits features and omits them, and the only way to add those features is by losing your warranty (jailbreaking). So no, the Iphone is in fact not even part of my comparison as long as these caveats exist.
- Brainwashing. Every consumer is brainwashed, to a degree. You too, as is obvious from the many different assumptions you make. We all want more, at all times, this is the very basis of our society and economy, this is undeniable. This is called the economic principle of preference/reference drift.
- The Iphone user vs the Android user. Let me tell you this: there is no research that indicates there are particularly different 'types' of people that use different brands. Every single person picks a device/brand for personal reasons, even though these reasons are similar, each and every person weighs them differently. To say Android users are geeks is the same reflex as saying all gamers are nerds. (Remember, 5-10 years ago?) Today the whole family is playing Wii. Your frame of reference is too limited, and mine too, to have an opinion on this.
- Optimized for Iphone. Wow, you see this as a feature? Actually this is not a feature, because I don't need optimization to view ANY site. I can just view any and EVERY website whenever, and however I want to.
- Other companies look @ the Iphone. Yes they do, but not much more than they look at every other device/brand. And no, they don't add features specifically because the Iphone doesn't have them, it is the other way around: all other phones have features that the Iphone doesn't have, because Apple feels it is not needed. The consumer judges differently and jumps on the Android bandwagon to get these features because they MISS THEM.
So, a little perspective for your limited mind. I hope it helps you in your future purchases, but you will excuse me if I have my doubts :)

... more"Dear Apple Users,you have no idea what android and its handsets are about and capable of!"
Many iPhone users has bought android device and after while they wanted to go back for iPhone.
Have you readed that one article about 46% android users are going to change their phone for other os and 42% of those choose iPhone.
Android is very fragmented, for exampe almost every big games comes for iphone, it's very hard to make game for android phones.
Then there's a lot of malware, trojans and virus problems with android market and trust me it's only beginning.

Sun Down, 06 Aug 2011I disagree with your statement that WP7 Mango will not make... moreBut WP7 is around for more than a year now and it hasn't build any hype whatsoever. Reviews were without flavour also, and despite being implemented in large number of models (when launched) from big manufacturers, it didn't see any growth in market share.
And now you're talking as WP7 Mango will reset all of that and like it's gonna be something previously unseen, while in fact it's only an update with expected new feauters, conceptually and aestetically the same as yet unsuccessful WP7, nothing truly new for that matter. So I disagree. It will not generate any substational hype, even with Nokia, and only chance is to slowly build its popularity based on good word of mouth, consistent marketing campaigns and of course expanding Marketplace on even more countries of the world...

FOR GOD'S SAKE SHUT THE HELL UP.
Dear Apple Users,you have no idea what android and its handsets are about and capable of!They are more powerful and futuristic than Iphones will ever be because of Steve Job's monopolistic policy.There are countless flaws in their computer,tablet and mobile software,hardware and features.Only looks and design can't make that up.Digest this first Apple fanboys.And,Windows Mobile,its position is quite unstable in the current market and will eventually drown itself along with Nokia and ultimately buy Nokia when its dead.Symbian was an excellent platform for many years but is now dead due to negligence.So,Android is the future of mobile computing followed by a 65 to 30 Apple and rest others,Bada maybe.

AnonD-16587, 06 Aug 2011Nokia being exclusively able to customize WP7 and others no... moreNo, Microsoft can give other OEMs similar advantages to Nokia if they also ship 50+ million units a year.
HTC is on the verge of making Windows Phone its primary (but not sole) operating system, because their liability risk for patent suits grows larger with every Android sold - a combination of future patent lawsuits that forces them to pay 40 or 50 dollars x a hundred million previously sold phones would bankrupt the company. Peter Chou will be out of his mind if he keeps building the HTC house of cards, instead of using a solid platform (WP). Whoosh...

To All Haters ,
Every phone coming into market compares to iPhone.
Other companies add what iphone doesn't have and market their phones because thats the only cheapest way to show superiority but its actually not because "Geeks" can never be satisfied by what they currently have .
first u buy a new phone and makes big mess of it and other phone comes , then u compare that new phone to one year old phone and try to show ur superiority by saying "we spent less than you" or something like that .
if u look at consumer reports , iphone has highest consumer rating because most of the iPhone users are not geeks as android users , they use phone when they need it but they don't buy phones for specifications.
if phone works very well and has good experience , they buy right away , they don't even see specs because its the "trust" people put on apple . thats why no matter how low specs are , iphone always top consumer reports.
big market doesn't mean its better , if u look at android store only utility apps are good or little good games and remaining all fart apps .
mac appstore also same , excellent apps and excellent user-experience . most people never used apple products and talk bad because they are brainwashed by terms like "open source" and "flash" .
open-source is a big joke i always laugh at because end-user never gets open-source , only OEM's are said to have open source android . if u want to tweak the OS , u must root it.
OEM's put all those crappy apps and add bad interface to differentiate their phones from being similar to others.
Flash is another over-used term i have seen , most of the websites have been optimized to iphone supported versions and u can also download podcasts from itunes freely if u have some podcasts missed .
Youtube is supported . i don't think u can use more than that.
