Apple wwcd vs google l/O 2011..

I honestly cant believe I just read that. You should really do a little more research before saying something like that. Wow, just wow.

I'm not saying it isn't difficult, I was trying to put things in a way people who don't develop might understand how a developer thinks. Every time there is a new feature added to a new Android device it is something to consider. Feature fragmentation is an issue was my point.

"I'm sitting here thinking as a developer, if I have a game how do I make sure that gets disabled for that phone?
"

It's only Enabled on that phone. No reason do disable it for all the others that don't have that feature.

I'm going to be off topic a bit. My girlfriend has tmobile she been using android phones (she hates them) because she always sees how smooth my experienced is with my iPhone... She owned a HD7. Had to return and get android again because it died too quick. But she says she prefers windows phone 7 then android any day just because of the smooth experienced. Anyways she has nexus s now and is still laggy... Bla she complaints everyday about it lol..

I was just at a phone shop and compared some Android and Symbian devices to the iPhone(3GS at that)..... LOL man, there is no comparison, iPhone is head and shoulders above the rest.

There is rumor the Nexus 3 will get Kal-El (Tegra 3). That is quad-core. By the time iPhone 5 is out with their A5 chip, Android decides to ante up again. See why Android is important? If Android isn't going to push cutting-edge hardware out the door at this ridiculous fast rate, who will? Apple? They can't if it means waiting one year for it. iOS is about simplicity. Android is about flexibility. You need both to cater most people's taste.

Wicked Video!!

Apple and Apple users always like to say it's not about the specs. I know, I was one of them. Well that video proves otherwise. Utterly Devestating.
If Apple seriously thinks it can keep doing what it does, march to the beat of it's own drum, they will fall behind just like RIM. Apple likes to show very little respect to it's competition, and that's their biggest fault. Once you beleive your own hype, you're done. So when iPhone 5 comes out, SGS3 will be right around the corner. Make no mistake, Apple fears Android and Samsung. It seems Samsung is the one to hold the reigns to this Android charge. Samsung is in charge of everything they put in their phone, huge advantage. Apple can't say the same thing. Apple has to rely on the innovation of OEMs like Samsung before they can put in their next processor, flash chips, etc...Based on Apple's history of upgrading their devices, the iPhone 5 wont surpass the SGS2.

This is how Samsung innovates. It's what gives Apple the opportunity to even have an iPad/iPhon/idevice:

I agree that the iPhone experience is not about specsmanship. It's not about whose device has more RAM, faster processors (although those things are nice), but if the only thing you can ding Apple for is that every once in a while another smartphone or tablet manufacturer that's on their own development schedule comes out with a device that betters Apple's offerings in one hardware spec or another, noone at Apple is losing sleep over that.

And you can crow "isheep, isheep" all you want, but the fact is that Apple's growth in smartphones in years past, and now forging a new classification in tablets and dominating it (over a year into it still), is not chiefly comprised of hardcore Apple fans who bought Macs before Steve-O came back to the company.

No, that charge is led by new customers who never gave Apple a chance before, but because Apple was smart enough to make the whole experience about a simple, elegant interface (Something they do better than anyone else) and iTunes (something millions are familiar with from their years of buying iPods), they're doing incredibly well, and making money hand over fist.

How much is Samsung's brand valued?

You do realize that your statement is purely subjective, especially given the marketshare that android devices enjoy. I've used android phones and to be honest, they excel in areas that blow the iPhone away. The iPhone has features that exceed that of android phones. My point is that android doesn't suck, and the iPhone isn't perfect. Different phones for different folks.

Apple could have the littlest announcement and everyone would be excited. But google is announcing all these new "cool" stuff or whatever and is just bla because google android market place ect is so laggy and dysfunctional that it doesn't bring any hype. I wonder if google would ever have a smooth experienced. Anyone else feels like this ?

Btw google music is the only really cool thing, if it don't lag..

Wowzers, I've lost count as regards unfounded negative Android comments today. Please, tell me what makes yours stand out?
