Why Android is better than iPhone.

From now on....anything to do with blackberry is not to be mentioned in this thread....its pointless!!!
and we can agree!
...at least until q1 2013 when they might strike back but until then.
RIM doesnt deserve our time while they muster their forces :)
 
very well put

my household may not be apple free, but i avoid them like the plague. there are better options for everything that they make, both more and less expensive.

you didn't say Cr-apple!!!

Why not?

RIM was one of the early adopters of the 7" tablet form.

Isn't Apple and everybody else coming out with one now? :)

From day 1, as nice as the iPad is, I've always felt it was too big, bulky and unwieldy. A laptop makes so much more sense when needing a screen of that size.

The 7" screen is ideal and adequate. And if Apple can do $199 for a 7" version, they will destroy the market. Heck, I'd even consider one.

Looks like good ole Steve-o wasn't right about *everything*. :)
 
This is in the end a religious argument so there is no winning. For me, my house is apple free. The reasons are simple, the actions of the company are not what I want to support.

-They are making their products in sweatshops where people kill themselves.
-They willfully use blood precious metals in their products.
-They are suing everyone in sight to try and protect market share (basically for steeling IP they stole from someone else).
-They do whatever they can do to be a closed system that they and only they control.
-the list goes on and on.

In the end they have become significantly worse than the companies (company) they claimed to be the alternative to. They claim to be taking measures to stop the sweatshops and blood metals yet it still happens, so how hard are they really trying?

They are the monsters of the corporate world these days with a following that blindly ignores the evils, for me it is entirely an ethical argument. Shiney features, flashy cases, etc. do not factor in.

Of course many of the alternatives are no better, but they are also not claiming a hippy counter culture alternative to the evil world.


Yes, the list does go on and on.....it appears they don't give a hoot about the environment anymore.... tsk, tsk Apple.....

Apple bows out of program for environment-minded products

"They were important supporters and we are disappointed that they don't want their products measured by this standard anymore. Among other things, the EPEAT requirements hold that electronics must be easy to disassemble, so their components can be recycled. The iPhone, the iPad, and the newMacBook Pro with Retina display don't pass muster because of things like batteries and glass displays that are glued to casings and backings."

How hard is it to understand that working conditions are ONE of many issues and it is the SUM that I have a problem with. Seems like it is very hard....

Solid logic mate!

Here are a few more beefs I have with iPhones that you can add to your list;
- They have mass
- Won't wash the dishes
- Can't fit 50 of them in my back pocket
- Require electricity to operate
- They don't bounce like basketballs

Palm OS is the way to go!

You'd think it would be a given, the smaller and more powerful we want our electronics to be, the less DIY friendly they're going to be. No news here.

You can only fit x number of components that cannot be made any smaller so many ways inside a smaller casing before you start trying to figure out ways to cut out unnecessary parts consuming space.
 
You know the one thing that stands out in this thread is common for all sides is one thing. Not one person has used proper grammar in this thread.

LOL.

You think with a comment like that you would have made an attempt at it yourself.

Been using a scrapped 3GS that I rebuilt. I use my phones mainly for GPS stuff. The 3GS is quite impressive. It gets a good signal in on trails with trees and bush. My gf's 4S is even better. Gets a solid 5M lock and scrolls very fast through Garmin Onboard maps. I was going to go for a 4S too, but I am really starting to HATE itunes and everything related to it. The phone backup system is retarded, music management is a hassle and the reminders system fails to get the point across. Unlocking them for any carrier can be an issue.

I recently played a bit with a friend's galaxy nexus. Not as smooth as the iPhone stock iphone, but a lot better than an iphone with cydia stuff to improve the UI notifications and reminders. How's the GPS on it, especially with trees around? I read it has a barometer, which helps the gps. That's quite awesome.
 
The Samsungs ROCK, you can install a better ROM too.
The best thing is NOT needing a pc to add music to your phone.
Apple binds you to itunes.

Android phone just copy and paste, done
You don't even need to connect to a pc to add files.
Since you hike, having the ability to add another battery easily might be a good thing for you too.
