I came across this video today of this guy comparing android to iOS, of course he owns both products and knows the ins and outs for each and at the end of the day, he picks android because of many obvious reasons do you guys agree?? Disagree??

Damn. Now I REALLY hate my iPhone.
Who cares. Android and iOS both have their own strengths and weaknesses. Overall both are great phones. I like android for its customization but think that iPhones are the most stable and best stock battery life.

My E4GT had waaaaaaaaaay better battery life than my iPhone 4S. And it was more stable. I have apps crash on my iPhone all the time. I think I had maybe 2 force closes on my E4GT during the 6 months that I owned it.

I own imac and used to own iphone 3g and 3gs.People always say how macs and iphones are so stable-of course they are because ios and osx runs on 10 similar devices while android and windows run on 10,000 different devices and still manage to run in most cases just as good as osx and ios if not better.
Apple makes both hardware and software for it,if you ask me there should be ZERO issues with osx upgrades on any mac but there is tons of issues.Apple as not as great as people give them credit for.
As for ios it was revolutionary when it first came out but now its just too basic and is great for old people and children because its so simple to use,while android packs more features and looks better. Don't forget that you couldn't even change the background on iphones without Cydia until iphone4.I do think that iphone touch sensitivity is more accurate than android.

Not that I'm a fan of it but i was wondering since android can run on the iphone is it possible to put IOS on the EVO.
No IOS is not open source
Yeah, this isn't a netbook you're talking about. You can't just put an Apple OS on it all willy-nilly.
Seriously, though, I'd bet the trouble would be nigh-insurmountable based on hardware differences. They're using their own CPU in the iPhone, for one, and beyond that I bet they're working pretty strongly to keep iOS from ever being ported like OS X is.
How dare you!!!!! Off with his head!!!

lol this is the second related thread to apple i've seen in the last 24 hours...lol
This thread made me sick to my tummy just a little bit!
the base for iOS is open(ish) source. But to my knowledge no one has tried to take Darwin down to the mobile level other than apple with iOS. In theory it should be able to be done, but that would be the only way to get a port. Hope your up for a challenge.

c'mon guys - outside of the poor taste it leaves in our mouths, the question is legit.
OP-It's highly doubtful that true iOS4 will ever be ported to android - too many challenges. The closest you might get is for a dev to build a theme that makes android look and act like iOS4 on the surface, but it would still be android.
oh yeah - and no iphone app store. ever.
Guys it was just a question so relax and stop the flaming. It probably can be done but there's too much work involved and it would also be illegal. Besides even if you were able to do it the App Store wouldn't allow your phone access so the only way to install apps would be through Installous (cracked apps) which is also illegal.
Android >>>>> apple
Android will be ported because it can and it has high enough demand..
IOS isn't ported because well... No demand <.<

Plain and simple. It won't. Hardware is to different and it closed source. But if you were looking for ios'ish look for the evo check out miui. People argue both ways saying it is and isn't close to ios but from what I see (since I'm a daily user) its pretty damn close. Have fun

I got sick of my BB Curve 3G that i use for work, so I picked up an HTC Surround off of Ebay for 100 bucks.
I just got it yesterday and haven't even update to7.5 yet. So far I have been impressed.
I don't see me leaving Android and my E4GT. However, it's nice to pick up another phone on another OS to play with.
If you have any WP7 questions I'll try to answer then as I get more aquainted with the os.

I had an old HTC HD2 lying around (probably the most-hackable phone even more than the EVO). I ran everything from GB to ICS to Ubuntu but by far the best OS was WP7.5. Runs so smooth, and the animations are beautiful.

Glad to hear your enjoying WP7. You definitely need to update to 7.5, even better. I have a Focus on ATT as a back up phone and I love the OS.
I've had six Android devices (purely a hardware choice - AMOLED, dual core, etc.) choice. I must say that ICS has changed my feelings toward Android, I actually like the look and feel of 4.04. In fact just got the GSIII and love it.
Are you considering moving from your GSII to the GSIII? The Epic Touch is a great phone but the Galaxy SIII is outstanding. Just my very humble opinion.

7.5 is a definite upgrade. I don't like it as much as 4.0.4, but it is nice and smooth.
Definitely thinking about the SGIII. My upgrade isn't until November, so we'll see what's out then.

Widows Phone. :laugh: Fun toy but not really there yet.
I have a few buddies with wp7 but I have not ever come close to thinking about leaving android. As far as customization goes android can not be beat. Windows phone is a nice alternative to the iphone, but has nothing on android. I have used both and that is a phone for novice users.
Hahahhaa, this is funny!

The iPhone is a better UX. Having used both platforms, I can genuinely say I prefer iOS. Android has more features, and the openness and packability is nice, but Apple designs hardware better than any Android OEM, and iOS is perfectly nice out of the box on my iPad
Did anybody else notice apple claimed to have the thinnest phone in the world when in fact oppo has that title at 6.65mm?

Curious if anyone decided to make the switch from Gnex over to the iPhone 5.
Why?
Why bother? The GNexus has more features, more customizabilty, a modern OS, and is a proper improvement over the last Google phone.
Not me, that ios is just so exciting I'm not sure I could handle it!
No why would I? It's a downgrade + next Nexus is possibly around the corner.
No thanks next nexus out in less than 3mo

The only thing the iPhone 5 has that is a major improvement over the GN is the camera. Other than that, if you already have a GN, I don't see a major reason to jump to the new iPhone.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
My story begins when I took a visit to a t-mobile store and purchased my first smart phone: a my touch 3g slide. I learned a lot from that tank of a device. I think I spent 8 hours or more reading xda before I finally gained root access.
I love android for way too many reasons than I can list here. But my top reasons include:
Not being locked down to what some corporation says I will enjoy.
Having a sense of community on XDA with like-minded individuals.
Having the freedom to truly make my device mine.
Getting a new hobby which I'm constantly intellectually simulated and challenged.
Being able to perform tasks that usually could only be performed on my computer on the go.
To say that Android has changed my life for the better would be an understatement. Not only has it made my communications easier, is made a lot of my daily tasks either automated, faster or streamlined.
I can't think of any mobile platform that can currently accomplish everything android can. At least not so effortlessly. Many have made the claim but anyone who does their research knows that the claims are false.
I love android because it let's me make my phone the way I want it.

^^^Isn't that breaking the rules of the contest? LoL
Why do I love android?
I love android because of the freedom it offers. Its not limited to one phone, released by one company, released once a year. Android hasn't really changed the way I look for a smart phone, but XDA sure has.
How I came to Android and how it has positively impacted my day to day routine?
Well, like many others, I was an apple fanboy at one time and I had that one friend that had to rub in my face how much better his android phone was than my iPhone 2g (my favorite iPhone of them all...seriously). I got tired of my friend showing of his android phone (the original droid with the keyboard) so I traded my iPhone 2g for a Mytouch 3g with the 3.5mm headphone jack. Oh my god, I fell in love with android, being able to add widgets to the home screen blew my mind. Ever since I've had nothing but android devices (I played with an iPhone here and there, couldn't resist). Android has not positively impacted my life in any way, shape or form. It made me discover XDA and then I became a flash-aholic (may need a 12-step program lol). To be serious, android has positively impacted my life, it made me realize how much more I can do and allows me to do with a phone.
Android Superior?
Yes and no. Without the Devs and helpful members here on XDA, I think I would be on the borderline of switching back to an iPhone. The main reason I like iphones is because of the battery life and the stability of the OS. Without XDA, we would be stuck with whatever Google and the OEM gives us, which is fine for average user who just texts, uses internet, play games and make calls as well as download a home screen replacement and a few widgets, but most of us here on XDA are here for a reason. In some ways Android is superior to other OS's, but in other ways the other OS's are superior.
