This week is iOS's last chance

It's a great trash can, but seeing how the Macbook Air is getting 800mb read/write speeds, I can't wait to push that thing.

That picture is just the top 1/4 of it. Trust me, it looks like a trash can.

Until you take the enclosure off. Then it looks like Darth Vaders personal computer.

They don't have live wallpapers.

This is a live wallpaper.

What menus are you talking about?

The new settings menu and all the transparency crap they are doing.

Also, people seem to be under the mistaken impression that the functionality moves this closer to android. It doesn't.

I disagree. A lot of it is closer to Android. the multi-tasking alone does that...now all apps can multi-task like on Android instead of just a few privileged ones. The multi-task screen is a lot closer to how Android does it. The notifications menu is now on the lock screen. The pullout menus feel very Android. The Lock-screen looks almost identical to Jellybean now.

No it isn't.

Both very different than android.

You can disagree all you want, but you are wrong.

Are you honestly trying to claim android invented multitasking? Because they didn't.

The multitask screen is actually closer to WebOS, which is where android borrowed theirs from too. (Blackberry as well)

The pullout menus are evolutions of what already existed on iOS. The only thing different is new fonts and colors.

The lockscreen is actually closer to meego than android.


IOS is still very very different than android in looks as well as how the is actually functions. They are nowhere near the same when you're talking UX.

LOL!

Explain to me how that is different from Live wallpaper on Android.

Please quote me where I made that claim.

It is not 'live'. It is nothing like androids live wallpapers.

You implied it. You were attempting to claim iOS copied multitasking from android. If that isn't what you were claiming, you need to be more careful about how you word things.

What exactly is it that you think a live wallpaper is?

What is that app if not live wallpaper. You tell me.

You implied it.

Try to avoid putting words in my mouth if you could. kthx.

Even Apple agrees with you. Their capitulation (finally) on things like multi-tasking and menus and live wallpapers is a clear sign of desperation. They would never ever have done this unless they thought there was no other option. They are doing things now that they have mocked competitors for in the past.

Will it work? Probably. They have built up such a devoted cult around this phone that they could probably sell anything with an apple logo. Apple people will declare it "Genius" just as they always do, and pretend that Apple came up with it completely on their own.

IMO it will backfire...because there will be far less of a learning curve between iOS and Android. Android hardware will advance faster and more people will jump ship than otherwise might have. The era of Jobs is officially over. Now the masses know what Android nerds have known for years. This release removes any lingering doubt.

You couldn't be further from the truth I'll destroy your pathetic points when I get on my laptop. Apple hasn't copied Android multitasking search up a jailbreak tweak called Auxo

Okay well I'm getting out of this thread. If I recall right, Vader's lightsaber throw has the accuracy of Apple Maps and I'm not getting accidentally mangled in this one. Good luck guys!

Manufacturers of android phones have said so. And one website, no doubt populated by people that also frequent forums such as this, is not evidence of anything.

What? Seriously? Slag a very popular site that offers unique Android experience as well as AC all in one post. Wow, not sure how to respond.

That's because you read it wrong. There was no 'slagging' going on. I was referring to enthusiast sites. People that post here are not normal users and they represent an absolutely tiny percent of overall users.

I think you need to re-read your comments. It reads poorly. Mycolorscreen.com is a fantastic site with thousands of very dedicated people using everything Android had to offer. And to generalize like you did was in poor taste.
