I don’t hate WP, Apple, Android or etc. btw I got an Android.

I worked with ipad2 for more than 2 weeks, with WP for less a month but I still prefer Android, why? All that I can summarise into, is: I felt like in a prison even after jailbreak. WP is kinda same, but it mostly lacks in applications. Both Apple and WP have a nice and smooth UI, but when they come to something functional… ehhmm!! sorry!! a rooted android gives you power of a tiny PC but a jailbroken apple has no difference with the normal one. just install another market to install apps for free?

There’s a reason why many geeks support open source stuff. Microsoft is perfect for PC OS, not phone. Apple also is good at taking people’s money for the best HW.
All these dust-ups are bcuz of having different points of view! a normal user needs a smooth UI, a geek needs SU.

@ Idroid and rahuldey85 you are both wrong…

“Malware, short for malicious (or malevolent) software, is software used or created by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems. It can appear in the form of code, scripts, active content, and other software. ‘Malware’ is a general term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software.

Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, adware, and other malicious programs. Malware is not the same as defective software, which is software that has a legitimate purpose but contains harmful bugs that were not corrected before release.”

See rahuldey85, iDroid is clearly defective software (and quite possible hardware too) ;-)

“first of all, androdid tablets are a joke. they are the most patetic tablets on the market” You are a joke… Sorry… I’m kidding… you are not even funny :-P
.
“second of all, Apple users dont use android products period.” no but that doesn’t stop them commenting on stuff they know nothing about :-D
.
“third of all, dont assume im an apple fan” I would never… I take you for an WP user ;-)
.

“but owned an andoird product and used everything in the market” mhmm… everything!? Well that is simply a lie or it explains why your phone might be buggy/messy :-D
.
“windows is far superior as an OS than anything on the market right now” NO! Now stop lying… :-D

It is fugly as hell, I mean a huge square with pictures of my facebook friends… cmon!!! using single colored slabs as a home screen, with huge single colored icons on them is neither innovative or designed well. It’s like icons with big one colored square backgrounds and looks more like a step back to 1985 and Windows 1.0 wich was described as:

“and in 1985 it(M$) released an add-on to MSDOS called ‘Windows 1.0′. However, this first version of Windows came with no useful compatible applications and its general functionality was limited”

see history repeats itself :-P

I don’t think he was saying they use it, clearly you have a lack of reading skills.

I think a malware would just download you the app rather than give you a notification. I do hate those apps you talk about.

That is Bull. I bet most of then have never used it. I know a lot of people that own iPhones and talk smack about Android and have never used one. Android does not have lag. My iPhone also lacks lag. My iphone apps crash a lot more than on my Android phone but my Xoom’s web browser crashes as much as all my iphone apps put together. The Battery on my Atrix HD last longer than on My iPhone 4s. I like Android better because of the fact that I can customize it the way I want which makes it personal. I like my iPhone only when I need an iPod without carrying two devices.
