You must really like cheap plastic.

what's wrong with plastic? it doesn't match with your shoes and purse? come on dude... some of us are power users who care about features and using our devices to do what we want... fashion is the last thing we care about in such devices! You are blind and you can't see the negatives of apple. you only see the positives. Android is constantly improving in the few areas is lacking behind. But where iPhone and iPad suck big time they will always suck because their biggest negative is apple's mentality which will never change. for example: no SD card slot. not because they can't add one but because they want you to pay more to them if you need more space. You can only get apps from their own app store... not a technical issue that will be solved... just their greedy mentality. Proprietary connectors so you can spend more money on their accessories... etc And then there are also a lot of other benefits to Android which you ignore... such as giving you more options so you can get a device that fits your needs and having features that ios doesn't. not to mention how much more customizable android is

what's wrong with plastic?

It's not just that aluminium is more stylish than plastic. Plastic cases are not as durable or as strong as aluminium or metal cases. Compared to an aluminium unibody handset, plastic cases tend to flex and break easily. I take it you're unaware of the infamous Samsung 3 drop test:

no SD card slot.

Dropbox.

You can only get apps from their own app store...

So what? Can't say I've ever wanted to install third-party, non-market applications on my tablet. The AppStore is cheap, convenient and secure. Applications aren’t going to erase your files or spam your friends. The iOS App Store has been a huge hit, inspiring app store imitators on every platform including Google and Microsoft.

Proprietary connectors so you can spend more money on their accessories...

Samsung’s had numerous proprietary connectors for its devices over the last decade, while Apple’s only had two. However, it’s worth noting that it’s this very consistency in proprietary connectors that allowed Apple to build up a massive third-party “Made for iPhone”, “Made for iPad” and “Made for iPod” licensing business… a business that Samsung’s never managed at all.

And then there are also a lot of other benefits to Android which you ignore... not to mention how much more customizable android is

Android is more flexible and customizable, but it can also be more difficult to navigate and more apt to confuse. A related issue is that the iOS interface is simply cleaner and more user-friendly than any Android interface I've yet to see. When it comes to device interfaces, iOS just works. Android implementations, far too often, don't.

Talk to any Android user, and you'll soon hear complaints about how they can't even update their systems. How flexible is that?

and i got a samsung S2...

what i like and obviously went right over your head...is a device that always does more...and the S2 delivers a lot more than the oh look i am an apple trendy fanboy...

as i said before and i will keep on saying it...

my galaxy S2 delivers a lot more than the 3 apple stooges...simple as that...

same with the surface win 8 released in Jan...a real CPU, i5 on a real chipset, ivy bridge, running a real operating system win 8, that puts to shame most desktops/laptops, and kicks the shit out of half the apple notebook range...all this in a touch screen tablet form...and best of all costs a little bit over of the useless ipad...

The girls are arguing again about who has the better hand-held shit box with features like “calendar”, “calculator”, “contacts”, “todo list”, and such that Windows v1.0 introduced in 1985!




Bill Gates must now be thinking…

I have my own Samsung phone for more than a year. It doesn't have a single scratch on it.

Dropbox

If that was the answer then why Apple makes iPads with 32 and 64GB capacities? Dropbox needs good internet connection at all times to be useful and after a few GB you need to pay a monthly fee to have it.

Applications aren’t going to erase your files or spam your friends. The iOS App Store has been a huge hit, inspiring app store imitators on every platform including Google and Microsoft.

So if you could download the full kindle App directly from Amazon you wouldn't do it? Why wouldn't you want to have the OPTION to download apps from elsewhere if you want to? Their own appstore could still be the default and you could use it as you use it now... but limiting you to their own appstore is a huge disadvantage for iOS.

The number of accessories is related to the amount of devices sold not because of the connectors. My Samsung uses standard mini-USB. If some Android device has some different kind of connector then you can always buy a different Android device. Android gives you options Apple does not. But I agree that iPad / iPhone have much more accessories ... this is one of the few real benefits of iOS devices.

...is that what you think smartphones are all about?...for an IT person you seemed to be serioulsy lacking in IT... :LOL:

all i am saying the mobile market, end of the day one way or another will belong to wintel...no doubt about it...

do i like that?...after all the investment all these years at microsoft it's pretty hard to look the other way...and gates hasn't stopped laughing the day he conned IBM on royalties rather than a one time set fee....

is apple and android needed?...yes...why?...to make sure wintel keeps innovating...will they dominate?...nope...they both will end up in a niche market, apple with the fanboys and android in inexpensive electronics...

once win 8 tablet is released the android OS will collapse, firstly it has nothing more to offer...it was never meant to be a desktop alternative...and secondly the lengthy and expensive lawsuits from apple...pushing everyone to microsoft...apple will evetually maintain a much reduced market share and concetrate on other aveniews...the latest, apple filed a lot of paterns in the how to handle delivery of video content to screens...the also designing their own version TV to handle all this...

sotos depends what you call an accessory...there are more electornic inputs for the galaxy tablet and smart phones than the ipad...

they all have cases

[Get Real!]

Hey Boomers, I forgot that yours also has a button that says “Shopping!” that takes you straight to hard-coded manufacturer-sponsored websites!

Fucking clever mate! How do they do that???

And I forgot about the ingenious “Scan for nearby devices” button which reports…

“Please wait: Found another 5 idiots in the vicinity having shitboxes!”



“Do you want to send one of those idiots one of the shitty things you’ve got sitting on your shit box? You're running out of disk space anyway!"



"Oops sorry cannot continue! I've just run out of memory displaying the previous long message!"

yeah keep on looking at your push button phone and keep on posting...you are so far removed from reality it's not even a joke...

get a smartphone reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh...and get educated...then talk...i am fucking amazed that for an IT guy you fail to see the signifigance of the smartphone...it's a great tool in the hands
of someone that knows what he is doing...i guess you got other things in your hands huh?...
