Love the iOS vs Android argument.....love it, good for us. Google navigation, something I used to proclaim the best is trumped by free apps in Apples market. That google nav lady sounds like she is crying and sad, and googles directions suck. Sorry man. Map quest free in iOS just trumps google Nav so hard, she sounds healthy, will steer you in the right direction and let's you know when recalculating is taking place. Fin.
Really, nothing productive like that can happen on a tablet iOS? Both OS perform strong tasks. You make it sound like Apple CDS, can't do shiza. Fact is they both perform well and each have their strong points, but to argue one is so superior to the other is kinda naive don't you think?
Not naive.
It depends on how one uses the device. If you were a radiologist the iPad would be the better device... far and away... no contest. That's because electronic media radio-graphs use a proprietary format and the industry was wary of Android, just as the movie industry was wary. So there is no solution for viewing radio-graphs on an Android tablet... well... no "good" solution that can match with iPad.
The preference for the iPad and a radiologist's arguments for why it was better are not born out of naivet?. They are born out of personal usage and the experience it brings.
On the other hand, for what I do and how I use my tablet, an Android tablet does things best. These are general usage things, like the fundamental way I can navigate around my Android device... very similar to my notebook computer. I can have identical subdirectories set up. In fact, I do. Things an iPad would struggle with. Could you force an iPad into my kind of usage?... yeah, sure. Would it be nearly as comfortable an experience?... hell no!
Everyone thinks everyone else is like them. I'm a victim of that thinking too. We all are, for the most part. I think my preference reflects a "general" superiority of the Android OS and therefore would appeal to more users. So yeah... I think Android beats iOS at this point in time. But my opinion is not born out of ignorance or naivet?. It's born out of personal usage and the experience that brought me.
I am not a stranger to iOS. I owned the first three iPhones. I encounter people weekly using iPads and we have civil discussions about what features/capabilities we each like. From these encounters with iPad owners and other Android tablet owners, I find far more ignorance and naivet? about Android than I find from Android users about Apple.
I'd say it's kind of hard to be ignorant or naive about iOS5 in the world we live in. There is a near constant assault of advertising and Apple fan-boys wanting to tell how wonderful their device is... while they listen to absolutely nothing about Android.
