Yeah true,
I understand they're trying to make one ecosystem for things to be more integrated and more efficient but I did find Google quite intrusive compare to Apple. I am not saying that Apple is not doing the same but imo it's less in your face (Google now….). I might be wrong but I don’t remember Apple having as many apps as Google that i dont really use(Google Chrome, Google Currents, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Search, Google+, Hangouts, , Photos, Play Books, Play Games, Play Music & TV, Play Music, Play Newsstand, , Quickoffice, etc...). Also, I didn’t have to open an e-mail account and an apple+ account for example (just had a single apple account).
As I have said, I am getting used to it and it's not that bad as you can turn off what you dont need or dont want...(and yeah, I know, ultimately, it’s the same shenanigans on apple side anyway).
Maybe controversial on this forum but I actually liked I-tune. I found it to be a pretty neat way to manage my phone content, back up and music library. (I am probably missing a trick but I am still currently using it to manage my music folder on my desktop; I transfer the file manually on my phone). I will definitely look at helium though; thanks!
Again, this is my perception and I am fairly happy with the change anyway. I do like the HTC sense keyboard. I switch to a Japanese keyboard app manually when needed.
