Most of these I knew. It all comes down to a better designed phone for me.

Jun 15th, 2011 01:26 PM #4Aside from the itunes/ipod stuff and the camera swipe thing, there is not a single "feature" here that did not already exist in Android or WP7

Jun 15th, 2011 01:37 PM #6Apple Marketing Exec: “… we invented a whole new category. The foundation of what made these products so successful is iOS. And with iOS 5 we’ve taken an operating system that was already years ahead and we’ve added over 200 new features to it moves it even further ahead”. Originally Posted by jetfirex2

Jun 15th, 2011 01:40 PM #7It is certainly ahead if you don't need tweaking to make it work. Plus the refinement and options are nice. What do you expect them to say? "We made a product but now let us start saying how it sucks" ? Originally Posted by amace

Jun 15th, 2011 01:54 PM #9Well this is just the usual camp arguments and..oh well ill bite. IOS is years ahead until google figures out how to let manufacturers optimize android for their own devices just like WP7, instead of just putting it on steroids. Infact IMO as long as google remains involved it will be behind. I don't like google's intrusion on my phone. Infact i would prefer someone load symbian^3 with opera on sgs2. Its still my OS of choice until Nokia stopped putting better hardware compared to competition. Originally Posted by amace

I will give you that Apple is over sensitive. But as a consumer APple also gives me something better. What am i to do? Go with something its creator doesnt care about how it affects my overall usage or something its creator feels confident in that will serve me well?
I am actually disgusted at Nokia for killing symbian with lots of potential and not giving meego a full throttle. And hp for doing snail pace hardware improvements to a webos device. Both are better alternatives to android IMO and both companies are choking awesome OSes by putting them on crap hardware repeatedly.Last edited by jetfirex2; Jun 15th, 2011 at 02:01 PM.

Jun 15th, 2011 02:05 PM #10Until they figure out how to let... what? Android is open source. ANYBODY can do ANYTHING and optimize it HOW EVER THEY LIKE for WHATEVER THEY LIKE. It's up to the manufacturers to optimize it. Some companies do a good job, like HTC and Samsung lately. Some suck, like Motorola and LG. The whole point of Android originally was to make an open source OS that can turn into whatever Devs can make it into. Originally Posted by jetfirex2

And in what world do you live in that Apple does not intrude. iOS is as locked down as Fort Knox. Nothing goes in or out without their approval. They strategically ban specific apps too for competitive reasons. Google doesn't "intrude" like that.Infact IMO as long as google remains involved it will be behind.

Your opinion and you're welcome to it.Infact i would prefer someone load symbian^3 with opera on sgs2. Its still my OS of choice until Nokia stopped putting better hardware compared to competition.
I won't argue that. The basic concept of swipable homepages is pretty similar. That's about it though.Apple is suing samsung because their UI is so close to an iOS UI. Everyone even on samsung forums acknowledges that.

Since you at least pretend that you tried something different, I won't tear you up for it.I will give you that Apple is over sensitive. But as a consumer Apple also gives me something better.

I have nothing against iphone users if they genuinly believe iphones give them the best option. Apple fanboys who are ignorant to all other systems and only love their iphone because it's an iphone piss me off. I hope you are the former, rather than the latter.
I hate apple, not because they make poor devices, but because of the things they do. They are the biggest hypocrites, and the scream foul when someone does something similar to them what they've been doing to other companies since the 90's._______________

Jun 15th, 2011 02:29 PM #13lol. i am trying hard to sell my android phone but the damn thing wont sell and its been two weeks. i have sold two ip4s and didnt even take a day. anyways, my rant aside i am not pretending. Originally Posted by amace

oh and samsung just powered the same gb code on super monster specs. brute foce method of running an unoptimized os lol. their laziness is evident from the fact that tgey still havent nailed amazing battery lofe on the new monster.
anyways, i like the new ios features and welcome them. Reply With Quote

Jun 15th, 2011 02:30 PM #14Nokia did put all its effots behind Meego. The CTO told Elop in late 2010 that at the rate of development, Nokia would roll out one Meego phone before 2012 and maybe 3 or 4 before 2014. This is when they realize they need another OS. Originally Posted by jetfirex2
