really? Please show us. One problem you might run into though is that no current phones running pure (or close to pure) Android even have SD Cards. Good luck to you.
Really?
I have been using the SD Card with my Xperia Ray with Kit kat. Yes, it has a SD card and it run AOSP.
You're the one saying that Kit Kat can't use SD card. Prove it.
Did I say KitKat? Or did I say vanilla Android? BTW, never heard of an Experia Ray? Was that a phone for Eastern Europe?
Then what the **** are you talking about the SD card?
Eastern Europe? As you don't know about Sony Ericsson Xperia ray it must be an Eastern Europe unknown phone
Might want to direct you rage someplace else. I was not the person that began talking SD cards as a benefit over ios. I am sure you'll be able to figure it out though.
You were the one talking about Android not allowing the use of SD card at the is level
OR you could say the big difference is that Android is the malware platform of choice...or you could say that Android is the platform that's going to kill the device makers who race to the bottom...or you could say that Android is the platform of choice for those who settle for inferiority, who don't recognize quality, who value spec sheets over experience...
I still feel like IOS is a more refined phone OS, but lollipop has closed the gap.
If you are a basic user they are both very similar. I still feel like apple has a better calendar app, dialer app, photo app, email, etc. The core apps for an OS.
Granted I am using a nexus 5 with lollipop, but for some reason I find the google "ecosystem" not as polished. Most things really do feel like a beta.

And mobile phones had app stores and notifications before Apple even thought of the iPhone, so what's your point? That Apple invented the mobile phone? Mind you reading the usual FUD in this thread it wouldn't surprise me.

Ah I remember that one, kinda the first foray for Sony into small Android smart phones with cameras as the selling point if I remember. I'm looking forward to the Xperia Z4 Compact. But you can't install every app to the SD card in 4.4, Google broke it, but in version 5 they have fixed it again. For instance I can't download a Flixster film into an SD card, only internal storage due to the restrictions of 4.4
Google limited what you can do with the SD card, an application can only write to the folders it creates, yap.
Which was very daft! But you are restricted to how you can move apps to the cards, I just read about it all and everyone was blaming googles dislike of SD cards, thank goodness they listened and changed it.
No Apple did not invent the modern smartphone, they bought multi touch first, just, and capacititive glass touch screens, everything else they had has already existed for ages.
Except it's not a myth. When iPhone was introduced there was nothing like it in the world.
Nope. iPhone evolved from technology before it. Was using touch and stylus input Dell Axim X5 with Sprint CF2013 CDMA compact flash card for voice and data back around 2002 long before the first iPhone released in 2007. Did pretty much everything the iPhone could do plus more such as browsing, stream movies, mail, calendar, VPN, remote terminal to Cisco equipment, etc.
Hahaha, only 2002, what about 1993:
Apple was even first with a stylus.
Rumor is this is where Samsung got their inspiration for the Galaxy note
. Bs you were streaming movies to your pda in 2002
It had resistive touch with a stylus, not a multi-touch full screen GUI interface. Trying to argue that Apple didn't bring this to the world is like trying to argue that the Mac wasn't original because MS-DOS preceded it.
ITT: TC uses an iOS-like launcher to call Android similar to iOS.
The only major difference between Android and iOS is what each system allows its developers to do. I for one cannot leave Tasker and sideloading behind.
inb4 Apple fanboys say I have malware thanks to sideloading.

No. Of course they didn't invent the mobile phone. My entire point was that Apple didn't "steal" those features from Android, as one of the other users here stated.

But the Newton was about as useful as a 1960 Etch-a-Sketch. Streamed DVD transcoded movies on the Axim X5 using Betaplayer over 802.11g WIFI from PC acting as media server (Google it). The experience is very close to what we have today. And, the Axim X5 has a 3.5" display just like many of the iPhones that came out five years later.
