Image via CrunchBaseNote : This is not about dissing IPhone or Apple, actually I do not care about either, they are good at what they do, I have no problem. But then come someone and start comparing and then things must be clear.
Again, this is not dissing IPhone, it's a reply to somebody who thinks that IPhone is the only real phone, and Android is just a fragmented weak platform.
And This is my reply :)
This is the problem, you probably did not try it.
If I could remember one of Steve Jobs old speeches he decided that his users did not need to multitask and now, they do, and while they are not doing it elegantly on Iphone, Android is built for this, built for customization and built for freedom.
Same with notifications, and despite all the glamorous of IPhone, still you do not navigate freely and as if Apple is dictating your navigation.
while Multitasking comes intuitively on Android, Apple seem to be very happy as if it's a feature, "inventing" IOS, news flash, it's not, Embedded Systems has always been multitasking.
Also the variety of vendor, gives you so much freedom, such as some vendors add good sound and music features, others add physical keyboard, some are small others are big.
it's freedom.... it's individuality something Apple do not understand, apple may have consistent platform, but because it's the only platform, does not mean it's good, it means it's afraid. and even Windows Mobile 7 is open for other vendors to port on their phones, despite MS standards for hardware vendors.
Despite all that, still vendors like Motorola and models like the Droid took the Android power and turned it to a true useful Consumer product, with a very powerful browser, that would defy anybody even Apple. and this is not my words only. integrating wonderfully with Google services, and utilizing the cloud for backup and processing. and for development, Android apps are java apps. and Eclipse is your IDE, which means you can develope Android every where :)
it's not only about the resolution, or the look or the glamorous UI. it's about diversity, reliability and power. and Android is stable, powerful and reliable, and best of all, DOES NOT NEED TO BE JAIL BROKEN.
enough... for another time. :)
