@macewan sold out through branding and not true innovation… its a different story…the device (ipad) is a fail, the brand (apple) is not
@alongub Android sucks…
iPad and Android don’t mix.
Really wish they would slow down, and really get Android right.
FAIL
@freediverx they are completely open. of course their business strategies and gmail binaries are patented and kept on google’s hands. But they run linux servers, which means the company runs on open source codes, they only pioneered Android, but Android is owned by the WHOLE community, if u don’t believe me check OHA or Open Handset Alliance. With the 2.2 release, they will be able to ship Android without Google bits and that will just make it A LOT more open.
stevee prolly caused network overload with watching naughty things on his iPad LAWL
ipad = #FAIL , sorry fanboyz
@DumbestCrayon iPad 3G remains completely sold out at US Apple retail stores. Apple’s iPad is a success by any measure. Product is manufactured > placed in stores and immediately sold > replacements required immediately to keep up with demand. With a company that is considered a successful product.
Apple sucks.
Oh. My. God. That was just embarrassing. Forget it, tech geeks, save your lame excuses. The iPad worked smoothly and responsively. The Android, not so much. Network problems my ass. Once again, Apple makes it look easy to get it right while the rest show that it isn’t.
@DocWaffles Actually I haven’t said that anything is better. I’m simply showing his ignorance in the whole idea. He blurts out random ignorant sentences that hold no factual information. The word “Better” is an opinion and it’s unarguable.
@freediverx Congratulations on stating opinions that hold no fact. They developed a tablet that is useless to over 90% of users. Again, I’ve looked at the numbers and facts and you’ve done nothing but spew randomness. Researchers show that only 7% of people are “Very likely” to purchase an iPad and only 13% of people are “Somewhat likely” to buy one. Since you think you’re right about these things why don’t you expand on your blurted randomness? You keep changing the subject when I show facts.
Christ. I’d rather see the regular idiotic YouTube comments I’ve come to expect over this inane back and forth of defending one’s preferred company. It comes down to this: both Google and Apple make great products. One is focused on utility and standards, the other is focused on fluid and intuitive user experience.
You guys are fruitlessly debating, if one can even call it that, about why company X is better than company Y. That energy is better spent elsewhere, not on a damned YouTube video
@freediverx Lol, again, you’re wrong. Updating an android device is as simple as clicking the notification. When an update is released it is pushed to the phone and the user is notified. The user clicks the notification and it updates. How much easier can that get? And I don’t know where you’re making this information up from but they like I just said, Android devices will be able to update APIs over the Android Market.
@DumbestCrayon They didn’t invent the touchscreen phone. They PERFECTED it.
They didn’t invent the digital music player. They PERFECTED it.
They didn’t invent the tablet computer. They developed the first tablet computer that was actually useful and successful.
@DumbestCrayon A lot of current Android phones will not be upgradeable to the latest version. Even those that are won’t all be upgraded because upgrading an Android is nowhere near as easy as it is on the iPhone.
How open is Google about their search/advertising model? They’re only open in areas that aren’t part of their core business model, which revolves around completely dominating the online advertising market.
@freediverx LOL!!! You’re not doing anything but making yourself look more desperate to win…You think that Apple came up with the touch screen phone? You think that Apple came up with mobile apps? Why don’t you do yourself a favor and do some research about products before you start ranting about things that you’re completely wrong about.
@freediverx Yet again since you don’t know anything about Android you would mention more ignorance. Android 2.2 is going to stop the fragmentation. Users that are not on the newest version [the only reason they are is because the manufacturer developed their own version] will be able to update the OS API’s via the Android Market. The fact that it’s across different devices shows that it’s not a proprietary OS and it’s actually open unlike Apple. Android outperforms iPhone.
@DumbestCrayon Also, Google stole Android’s most innovative features from the iPhone. If they’re so brilliant, why didn’t they come up with a usable smartphone until two years after Apple introduced the iPhone and Schmidt weaseled his way into Apple’s board of directors?
@DumbestCrayon Because it’s a misleading comparison. Android’s market is spread across several devices made by several manufacturers, each with a different feature set, different version of the OS, and varying levels of upgradability.
@freediverx So is that why Android just outsold Apple in the mobile market? Is that why Android is #1 in apps and web browsing in the mobile market? Looks like Apple is losing this fight.
@freediverx
Google opts for the shotgun approach. They have a thousand products and they’re all in beta. Though great on paper, in real life use, many fall short. They have no style, inconsistent attention to detail, and like Microsoft they are trying to sell a spec sheet rather than a product that is actually pleasant to use. In short, Google designs products for developers.
As a consumer, I will always choose the company that puts ME first, not developers.
You’ve just highlighted a fundamental difference between Apple and Google…
Apple strives for perfection, attention to detail, and an optimal user experience. Their obsession with quality starts with their products and extends to every detail in their presentations. They focus on fewer features, fine tuned to perfection. In short, Apple designs products for end users.
@freediverx You’re watching a video of google engineers displaying a products capabilities and you’re pointing out minor details in scripting. Do you even know how to write an application? Do you realize how minor that detail is? You’re not doing anything on this but proving how ignorant general iPhone users are. How many apps are you running right now? Not 41…How many widgets do you have on your home screen? How slow is your browser’s javascript benchmarks? Do you even know what that means?
