Hopefully they will do another comparison chart when Windows 8 comes out. Or they should have done the comparison when it was IOS 5, to be really comparable.

Amazing how I get along just fine without any of this crap.

I would like to hear from someone that has owned both an IPhone and a “similar” Android phone.

I spoke with a girl at a phone store and she said she has both. She said the IPhone and Android operating systems are about the same.

Why are Iphone people so high on Iphones?

Actually there are several phone manufacturers that make phones that run the Android operating system so Android users have a much larger choice of cell phones to choose from.

I love google earth. I take my dad on a trip somewhere every time were together. He's really been to Israel a couple times. He loves to reminisce.

Just give people more reasons to stare at their damn phones and not look at where they are walking/driving.

Disclaimer:
I use Android because it came with the damn phone.

Apple: you may find better, but you’ll never pay more!

Their list has issues..

Chrome is not the only browser with tabs in android. Opera has them.

Android can stream video/audio over 4G something the current Iphone can only dream of doing.

Apple is always slow to pickup on new stuff. But they do seem to make a quality product.

(send from my chromebook ;) )

I’m still a Droid person. I just got a Droid Razr Maxx and Xyboard and I love them. I am running both Google Music and MotoCast and have a lot more music available (streamed from my PC) than I would even if I tried to sync our massive library with iTunes. I’m about to sync my Google TV with it too so I can have my music throughout the house. The music sync issue used to be a big attraction for most people to iPhones but it isn’t a game changer now.

I love reading all these posts. However, I am an old man. I finally gave in and got a cell phone. Really don’t like it that much because people can find me when I don’t want to be found. It is a bother for someone to call me while I am fishing.

I survived without one for 50 years. I think all the gadgets are great. Just not for me.

I think it is funny that people can not survive without these things.

God, I should have been born 150 years ago!

Blessings, bobo

I plan on getting a tablet and I've got it narrowed down to a few android models and the new ipad. I use Sony internet TV, which is an android system. I believe it was just upgraded to the 'Ice Cream Sandwich' version.

Having gotten used to android, I was wondering if I'd have much of an adjustment to make if I went with the ipad. Would I be better off sticking with android, or is there not that much of a difference to let it be a deciding factor?

So far the iOS has been USELESS for voice commands. USELESS> What an ass-kicking Apple has taken by Android and Windows 7 devices having excellent voice commands when Apple can’t get it right.

Me: “Call Wife Mobile”
iPhone: “Calling Home Home”

Me: “Call Wife Mobile”
iPhone: “Calling 911”

Me: “Call Scott”
iPhone: “Playing Songs by Rush”

The iPhone is a brick when it comes to using voice commands. Simply embarrassingly USELESS.

This chart is just a bit Apple-slanted: the writer took a list of iOS/Apple features and compared Android and WP7 offerings to that list. Then the writer missed on multiple points: WP7.5 does have turn-by-turn directions and notifications through live tiles. Though I'm not sure what 'reading list' or 'VIP labels' are.

Time to make a list that includes Live Tiles and Xbox Live integration and a stack of Android features iOS doesn't have.

Friend of mine can’t even imagine getting anything other than an iphone, the idea is ridiculous to him.

He can afford it, he’s a pilot. But for most people it’s crazy how much they pay for the plan and phone
