It looks like Google is done with Apple's courtroom antics and is willing to put their over sized wallet where their lawyers are.
This has been long over due, I'm all for it...

Finally!!! I have been following apples B.S. banning Samsung's tabs in different countries and all the stupid wars. Apple is being a sore loser and trying to regain control of the market again. I'm glad Google finally decided to fight Apple to put them in there place. Hopefully all the ios lovers open there eyes to the great world of android and open source.

I've been an android user since 2009, for some reason I'm not happy with android..my cousin let me use her iPhone 4s and honestly I was so jealous.. every thing is so polished & clean. Android is so dark & ios bright & cheery. I may return may sell my S3 for the iPhone 5.. I hate the feel of envy. Open source isn't enough anymore plus android doesn't have flash anymore.

My first phone was an android but then I got a taste of ios from a friend and I loved how smooth it was too. So I went and bought an iPhone 4s and everything was good at first. But then I got VERY bored of ios. Long story short my gs3 should be here next week. I'm not saying you'll feel the same way but just my 2 cents.

You're not going to find flash on apple either. In fact apple is one of the reasons flash is being done away with.
Great thing about android, you can make it "bright & cheery" if you so choose. Apple? They are more into telling you what to like and what to think, no options. And damn anyone who wants to give folks a choice.
Nothing against anyone for making apple their choice, I just prefer to have one is all.

Same here. I was curious about ios and from time to time I'll get a iPhone and play worth it for a while. It did get boring however. Android is better. More control not like ios where apple puts a lot of restrictions and tells the users what they can and cannot do. I am glad geohot was able to crack the iPhone though.

You couldn't be anymore confused and lost, now could ya? You claim to favor the iPhone over android devices but clearly your screen name is "iloveandroid". Very contradicting, don't you think?
Don't get mad at the android platform because you won't take the time to read and learn about the millions of brilliant and ingenious things you can do with any given device. There are so many hacks, mods, customizations and options that you get with android that you CAN'T get with your beloved iPhone.

I got an iPhone 4 just because I wanted to see what fuss about iOS was. Quite frankly, it is very fast, it is very smooth, but its only because its so limited. Having the apps refresh upon re-entering, or the tiny ass screen, or hell, having to jailbreak just because the stock icons bore me to death, just too much work to get it to my liking.
I literally used it for 2 hours at home took it out for about another hour, and came home just to use my (at the time) HTC One X, and went back to where I was. So heavy for no reason too. And before you say "Ooooohhhh glass front and back, its so sexy" if it breaks the moment you drop it, why would you want it?
Happy with my S3. Loving it.

I switch back and forth from time to time... sometimes, just having to read about the "millions of brilliant and ingenious things you can do with any given device" is to much, Android users (I use a GS3) need to realize that sometimes simplistic works, I could do everything on the iPhone super fast and easy, no digging through menus, or wondering what noise my phone just made, the iphone is simple stress free. May I add that a lot of the apps I ACTUALLY use, not the hundreds you have and never open... are more polished than android? However android has made great strides in making the OS fast, easy, polished, and the apps as well... I believe and love android, but certainly understand why someone would use and iPhone. I dont get why there is such a hate from both sides! lol they are phones!! They push each other to be better, and we WIN! So hurray for apple, and hurray for google.... but more importantly.... HURRAY FOR US!

I liked the first one better lol. I like the advertisements they're shockingly accurate as to what apple launch day is.
Apple gave their competition a golden opportunity. If I had an iPhone 4 I would not walk out of a store using an upgrade on a phone that looks identical and basically is identical (OK don't flame but an upgraded camera and CPU/gpu isn't worth an upgrade)
Evo 4g to epic touch, now That is an upgrade ;-)

The first round of commercials were better, it actually showed some of features of the phone. Still I like the fact that they are firing back at apple...the right and respectable way...not with frivolous lawsuits but through competition.

My girlfriend just upgraded to the 4s from the 4 despite my best efforts. I had her convinced to at least try the at&t gs2 and see if she would like it. But then the salesman said, "I have the gs2 and if you already have an iPhone you'll want to stay with iPhone.."

One of the metrics we are scored on is return rate. I've yet to return an iPhone for anything but a more expensive iPhone. I have definitely returned android devices (including the epic touch) for iPhones. I will give someone a fair discussion on whether they are really getting the right phone without resorting to android snobbery, but I ultimately have to look out for me and not get things returned.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Unless I get an Apple diehard with nothing but Apple products I can usually flop them to Android. More specifically the Epic Touch. Larger screen, expandable memory and showing them mine running all the rooted goodies. Plus, a lot of people don't like that you have to use iTunes.

Just to explain why some might be that way. Is basically cause we like all forms of technology including competing phones to Android, we research to see what we are up against. I for one think the iPhone is a great device, for people that want simple but works. I've read more about the iPhone then I've read about most new androids... I've also turned many of my friends who were huge on the iPhone to start using android. Overall most people don't dislike the iPhone just the maker...
My thoughts at least.

Still bought iPods until I got my Vibrant in 2010, then they all collected dust until I bought a Nano to use as a watch. But I'll never, ever own an iPhone. Android=freedom to customize and affords the opportunity to learn at least a little on how things work.

With its easy-to-use interface, amazing features, and rock-solid stability, iOS is the foundation of iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. And even as others try to catch up, the technologies and features built into iOS keep your Apple devices years ahead.

Hysterical!
Don't get me started on their business practices. The only Apple product I've ever owned was an iPod Video and even that was a gift. It's mind blowing with the iPods how they had all the technology to make the iPod Video the first generation iPod, but they purposefully stripped useful features away so they can slowly add the features back and sell it as a whole new device. The really unexpected part is stupid people still pay for it!
It's the same thing with the iPhone now. There's no reason why the iPhone 4S only had a 800 Mhz processor when everyone else was putting out 1.0 to 1.5Ghz processors. It's the same business tactic. Put out a substandard product now, release a later version with some of the stripped features, make idiots buy the same device twice.
You guys have to check out his article.
Wacky things heard in a carrier store!
I think this rep needs to work in the Apple store rather than at AT&T. Obviously he is clueless as to which phones was included in the lawsuit that Apple won as the Galaxy S3 wasn't included in that trial. Even though Apple is trying to in another case.
This is one reason why I hate ordering phones in store.
Apparently there's an iMessage type app coming out on android. It'll even be on the iPhone. I personally think that they should of done this along time ago but eh, What do you think of this new app? Beneficial or Useless?

Might be a hit since it'll probably be on every android phone shipped and it's a plus since it's on multi-platforms.

I don't see why Apple doesn't just incorporate their iMessage along with their FaceTime with androids. It'll work out for both of them. It's not like apple is going to win the phone wars anyways....

There's no reason for Apple to do that.

I think its great and is a welcomed addition, I hope it integrates well with tablets as well so I can synchronize my messages across my devices.

That means one less feature exclusive to their phones
The away imessage and facetime from an iPhone and your other with a brick cause android sites everything else better

I wouldn't mind seeing a iMessage style app. Although not like sending a regular SMS takes so long. From the website link it to me sounds like a third party app. Almost like a GoSMS.
What I really want to see is a FaceTime style app for Android. That would put a huge draw on Android, more then it already has.

But they could always cross platform it. That's how the android version of iMessage is going to be like.

Exactly! I can't get my colleague to switch to Android because he has got friends using iPhones and iMessage.
That whole "I'm getting an/staying on iPhone because of iMessage" bandwagon phase will soon come to end once the Android gets the multi platform android messenger.

I tell everyone with an iPhone. "Screw you. Eff Facetime, you wanna video chat, make a Skype or download a gtalk alternative"
Most have Skype but to the ones that don't have a Google Account to log in to the alternate gtalk, they usually say, "well I don't have a Google Account, and I don't feel like making one."
I say "well maybe if you didn't have an icrap then you could be like the rest of the world and have an account rather than being a slave to slapple and having to put your long a** password just to download a FREE app!"
Seriously. Apple is a downgrade IMO. Stuck on a locked down OS, then you have to wait for a jailbreak to be released.... No disrespect to the devs that develop a jailbreak but SHHEEEESSSSHHHHHH MANE!!!
EFF THAT. As soon as an Android device is released, there's a possibility to root almost the same day most of the time.
And don't forget how much of a hater Slapple is to remove Google Maps from the OS without having to download it first. Gmaps has way more features and tools.
"Ooooohhhhh aaaahhhhh iMaps has 3D view!"
Well guess what, Gmaps has STREET VIEW so don't gimme that BS RIGHT NOW!!!!

I have waited for this for years! I will never give up my Note 2 and my dad will never give up his I pad and I want to text with him since he's getting old and can't see his minuscule iPhone 4 very
well anymore. I think this is going to be a benefit to all users!

+1----my wife, my brother, my mom, and my dad all have iphones and when im at work and without any service at all (thanks sprint), i throw my phone on airplane mode and pop my wifi on...leaving me without the ability to communicate with any of them. I think that if android came out with a cross platform messaging service it would be beneficial to a ton of people as well as draw some people away from apple's icrap.

Well I doubt it would draw some away from iPhone, it would sure stop more from heading over that direction.

One interesting thing that I noticed, is if all your friends have iPhones, and you recently switched from an iPhone to an android phone, you won't get their messages. At least not unless they start a new thread of sms (not imessage) messages to you. When I switched from an iPhone 4 to my gs3, I wasn't receiving hardly anyone's texts and didn't realize it till weeks later when I connected my old iPhone up to Wi-Fi and about 50 imessages came up. I had to stop and think a while before I realized all the messages that I wasn't receiving were from people using iPhones. It sucked too because half of them were from my boss. She thought I was just getting tired of hearing her. Lol.
What makes the problem worse is there is nothing you can do on your end, so to speak, to fix it. It is entirely up to the iPhone user to make sure they reply to you through sms and not imessage. Marketing strategy?
