Pathetic is all that comes to mind with this. I hate iphones and ipod touches. Thats why i rock a click wheel ipod. But android outdies ios in every manner that can be thought of. The only thing it really lacks is DIRECT sync with itunes but who really cares about that. I just drag and drop songs onto my card and if i need more room, i get a bigger card. Take that apple.

And let's not forget the myriad of keyboard choices (FlexT9 is my new favorite). No, there aren't a bunch of keyboard choices because none are as good as the i-crap one, it's because WE LIKE CHOICES, AND WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT!!!

The list for Android being better than iOS can be summed up with one bullet point:

- No iTunes!

Everything else is just gravy (and there's lots of it)!

Aside from the old Evo vs. iphone video the kid from best buy did, why is this in the Evo forum? Is it because the Evo was the first phone to hands down crush the iPhone in quality, or is it a troll looking for the phone with the most backers on this particular site (146,000 posts and counting)?

They each have their advantages and disadvantages, and having both platforms spurs innovation. That being said, I don't see the point of this thread other than to troll for responses.

As an owner of an iOS device (iPad), I laughed at most of this stuff. I can't stand it. Actually, I hate it. With a deep passion to be honest. Is it good at certain stuff? Of course. But overall, its beyond frustrating. And anyone that thinks iTunes is good should be shot in the foot and punched in the face. Its nothing short or horrid. The App store is equally frustrating. Example....

The App store has many categories. However, the layout of each category is different.

Shot of the main categories screen:
IMAG0161.jpg


Example of the inconsistent layouts:

Utilities:
IMAG0162.jpg


Games:
IMAG0163.jpg


Now, you may think thats not a big deal. Which for some its not. But for me it is. Its annoying to navigate sometimes.. and not only that, but if thats how the android market was forget it people would be going ape ****. What REALLY pisses me off about the app store is this::

If you look at the pictures, you can see on the top right it says "Sort by: Release date". WELL... lets say you change that to most popular or name (the only two other options). Now after you select lets say Name... It will show you 12 per page (all categories are 12 per page btw). So now lets say youve tapped yourself to the apps that start with the letter M.. thats a LOT of pages (probably over 200 pages in). You find an app that you like. So you tap it... Turns out that you dont like it, so you go back.. Wait?! what happened? YUP.. dumps you RIGHT BACK TO PAGE 1 sorted by release date.... have fun going thru all 200+ pages again...

Now that doesn't happen all the time.. but it happens about 90% of the time. And let me tell you.. I want to punch babies every time. I only have about 20 apps on my iPad as a result. Because every time i want to search the app store I want to kill someone. Its the most frustrating thing Ive ever dealt with when it comes to my tech stuff. Nothing on Android comes even remotely close. Oo and the same thing happens if you decide to download that app. Because with the App store, when you select an app, it dumps you to the homescreens to show you its being downloaded to the homescreen o_O for what reason i dont know. But you have to go back to the app store and most of the time.... it dumps you to the very beginning of the category as in page 1 sorted by release date... yaaa..... the wonderful great app store ::rolls eyes::

Then theres the notification system. I would rather get punched in the face by Mike Tyson, wiat no.. id rather have a pissed off horse kick my in the nuts than deal with the notification system on iOS for one more day (which is why im selling it). Im so sick and tired of watching a youtube video or netflix video and having the feed stop because im getting a notification. Now yes, you can disable it. You can disable the popup and choose to either receive just a sound or nothing at all.. but wtf?! Why should I have to turn off something as important as notifications for me to enjoy one of the biggest reasons for tablets existing... multimedia....

Then theres flash. Let me make this clear. I apologize for offending anyone... Anyone that thinks that Flash isn't a big deal, or important, punch yourself in the face repeatedly. BEYOND tired of not being able to do things with flash. Because of flash being nonexistant on iOS, i've basically been limited to Facebook (which i still cant watch embedded videos i have to open youtube which is an issue in itself) and android central. Its pathetic.... I REFUSE to spend a single penny, let alone $10 for a browser so i can enjoy flash. and even then, its not embedded like true flash...

Then theres Youtube. Whoever is responsible of the Youtube app for the iPad should also be punched in the face... The search function is absolutely terrible. You have to be almost exactly spot on with what you're searching for. Then theres sharing... Not sure about you guys, but I share youtube videos often enough for it to be an issue... What i can't fathom.. what i cant wrap my head around is how the ONLY way to share a youtube video on the youtube app on the iPad.........................................

is thru email...

ya.. effing email..... no twitter, no facebook.. just email... O.O is apple serious? Or did they do this on purpose as a messed up joke to show how stupid and gullible iOS fanboys can be where they'll actually think thats acceptable on that type of device? There are SO many other things that are seriously wrong with iOS but im not gonna even waste my time. Ive already gone WAY more than I wanted to......

Rant over ..


PS **** IOS

Jerzy, that was simply brilliant! I could add so many more frustrations to your rant, but what's the point? People who think iOS is the hottest game in town simply...have...no...clue. In my opinion, Android and webOS just trounce it (and for anyone wondering: yes, my opinion is the only one that matters ;) )
