I finally got a goodly amount of hands-on time with a Galaxy S3 and an Atrix HD yesterday. I really don't get the fuss about how iOS and the iPhone are so much better than anything the competition offers. How Android is a laggy, "hot mess" in comparison.
Yes, there are some things I like about iOS better. I think the text and icons looks better (but that's always been Apple's thing), prefer the way it handles pinch to zooming, and don't like having the software buttons onscreen at all times. Yes. The Android phone did hiccup and get a slight framerate hit in certain places on the Atrix (which was on ICS, I checked), but it's hardly something I'd roll my eyes at while holding up my comparatively dainty little iPhone 4 and invoke the glories of Steve Jobs over.
The differences in quality between the two are about nil. iOS has some advantages, but they're slight, spit shine and polish things, not the defining points between glorious usability and broken crap.
You know those people who show up, say "I used an Android phone for 5 minutes. It was horrible, and I ran back to the warmth and safety of my iPhone with open arms, how can anyone use this piece of junk blah blah blah"? They're full of crap. I'm now even more convinced they picked up an Android phone dead set on not liking it, and got exactly what they went looking for.
