I missed the point where LTD has given his first hand experience. Either he has me on ignore - or he's just ignoring my most recent post to him...

come on use a site better than Cnet. Gizmodo is by far better than cnet and gizmodo is crap.

This does not do anything addressing the post where I ripped into your pointless bashing.

The sometimes part in that review also tells me they were trying to do stuff before the page finished loading. I can deal with that laggy problem on my iPod touch all the time. At least the page moves compare to the checkboard.

I agree.

Siri is a search AGENT - not Engine

http://searchenginewatch.com/articl...iri-Will-Search-Agents-Replace-Search-Engines

That's someone else's opinion that neither defines search agents or search engines.

There's a difference. There's an example of "proof" also illustrating my initial point which was that Siri is a "front end" to search engines.

Not proof of anything. "Siri the front end" interacts with "Siri the back end" to provide search results. It is more limited than a search engine like Google, and therefore passes on any queries that it can't process to a larger search engine like Google.

It's not a search engine itself - no matter how Google defines it.

So you prefer your own personal definition to the one provided by Google. Sounds rational. A definition that you don't choose to share. :roll eyes:

It takes information and then sends it out to various engines and then delivers the information. Hence an Agent - not Engine...

And then you purposely use misleading terms to try and emphasize your point. Siri searches the information in a limited number of databases and provides it to the user. Just like any other search engine.

But again - I didn't want to get into that discussion because it's really not all that important what it is and isn't - the end result is the same.

Then why are you arguing semantics? The words I used were completely appropriate based on the definition that I provided. The actual point is and was that Apple has started building a search [whatever] that bypasses google for certain types of searches that will continually increase in scope. Something that was initially dismissed out of hand as ridiculous.

no that is not true. I know there are multiple post on these forums of me stating the music player part of the iPhone/ iPod touch is by far better than anything Android has to offer. It just works better. Their are work arounds for it for Android (double twist) but still not better than iOS. The movie player App on the iPod touch is better than what Android has. It only draw back is the very limited and crappy file support but that is different than the interface design which I do find better on iOS than Android.

so wise up before making those type of statements about someone.

Android's browser is an absolute POS. It doesn't render JS properly. It gets stuck on heavy websites with a lot of images, etc.

I have used Android for months and the experience of the native or any other browser has been an absolute horrendous one. You may favour it all you want, but there's quite a lot of evidence on youtube itself to prove that the native android browser is just bad.

+

You may have +1'd iPhone's music player as compared to the Android one because Android music player is again a POS software with no support and an absolutely hideous UI.

But yeah, just because I am criticising Android, I must be a hater. So am I. Android just doesn't make the cut.

Just because someone prefers the Android browser doesn't mean they prefer everything Android.

You're new over here right.

The fact that every single post of yours has got something against Apple or Apple's way of the game says a lot about your credibility.

Most people here on the forums pass the same rhetoric: 'We are on Apple rumours doesn't mean we need to side with Apple. People need to be objective rather than subjective in their opinion's.'

Oh well!? Sure, look at your post history please. Condemnation is one thing; spewing hate in every other comment is an other.

Hey, pointless arguing. Don't mind.

My posts don't have nothing against Apple, just their fanboys.

Oh sure! Why not. Reading through posts is like a cold facepalm.

So basically, you have come here on Apple forums to mock Apple fans?

Get a life.

Not what I expected! Maybe that will shut the fandroids up.

Nothing will shut the Fandroids up.

I'm not at all surprised by the mobile web traffic findings. While its certainly true that Android activations outnumber iOS, I think the average cellphone user will find web-browsing and e-mailing in general much more difficult on a Samsung Galaxy or HTC whatever than they would on an iPhone. My most recent girlfriend (who worked for a mobile phone company) didn't quite understand how to download and install Apps on her POS Android device.

I wonder sometimes if the cellphone carriers aren't secretly glad about this situation. They've sold some poor schlub a mobile data package for their Android phone that (statistically, at least) hardly ever gets used.

I'm holding an iphone and an android phone. I hit safari icon on iphone and browser icon on the android phone.

can you tell us how one is more complicated than the other?

regarding apps installation, your gf couldn't tap on the green "Market" icon and install apps? really? It *literally* is a 2 or 3 click process.
