Google's great with webapps and web interfaces. But frankly, they've never built an OS from the ground up which is a completely different ball game.
Why are fanboys so blind, uninformed, or have a selective memory?
Android is an operating system. A young one. Chrome is an operating system, a young one. So your statement is wrong. Operating systems are among the many software products that google makes.
Apple has them beat on that by a mile. Compare the user experience of Android phones and an iPhone and you'll immediately recognize how much smoother and cohesive the experience is on the iPhone.
Apparently, most people purchasing smartphones disagree with you.... or have you forgotten that iOS now trails Android in activations and growth? Either way, your comment is a subjective opinion.
Apps are much more uniform and pleasing and the OS never skips a beat.
Lol, um no. This forum, like all forums, is filled with people who have complaints and problems with the iPhone. Another factually incorrect statement.
Android on the other hand still feels like a beta product with each skin and variation that OEMs chose to add making it feel even more beta. Now that isn't to say that Android is all bad (I'm using the Droid X right now) but it still isn't up to the standard set by the iPhone.
The merits of the iOS interface vs Android's interface are in the eye of the beholder. For example, there are a lot of people on this forum who wish iOS would adopt Android's notification system, and even more who wish Apple would add widgets. Your opinion is just that, your own opinion.
The discussion at hand is which company makes better software. I listed several google products which are the best pieces of software in the world at what they do. Apple doesn't even have one piece of software which is the best in the world at what it does.
Android has better/more features than iOS (and always will as long as Uncle Steve is running Apple)
MacOS has been eclipsed by Linux and even Windows 7
Garage Band (which I mentioned earlier) cannot hold a candle to Pro-tools or even Adobe's music software.
There is no contest. Google is WAY better at software than Apple, who even struggle with making iOS multi-task appropriately. The best apps for iOS/MacOS are made by companies other than Apple. That is how it always has been. Even the best app on iPhone is made by google (google maps).
Sorry man, face facts.
