DISCUSS!!

Both are good, different market segments for me.

[L. Enario]

iOS PROS:
-strong app diversity, great integration with mac computers, generally polished interface, choi siya kai apple man.

iOS CONS:
-apple is very controlling of the apps that get into this system, daghan xag known nga security weaknesses, NO FLASH SUPPORT!

Android PROS:
-very free market, some of the best smartphones (Droid Family) are under this banner, good for developers, faster in some instances, lots of file type support, great Google Apps Integration.

Android CONS:
-di pa kaayu daghan APPS, dugay ma-abot ang updates, on some phones hinay mu-run ang system, also if dili skinned (like the newer versions 2.1 and up) bati jud ug nawng ang interface.

had an iphone before... didnt really like the need for itunes to do anything with it.. i wanted a phone that has a removable memory card and can work on any PC pronto without the need for softwares.. so the android was basically it for me, until i lost my phone lol. now im planning on getting another android.

whew.. 6 votes, 5-1 in favor of Android..

Andriod = You decide what you want and how you want it.

iOS = Apple decides it for you.

Ako ra ika-sulti Garz, iPhone gyud gihapon pinaka-nindot karon, labi na kung Mac user ka. Swabe kaayo.

Android nindot man sad, mas open/dili restricted, pero ma-dugay maka-ingon ra gyud ka nga di nimo kinahanglan tanan gi-offer sa Android. Ang iPhone, mas simple gamiton, nya double purpose kay iPod na daan, naa nay soundtrack imong kinabuhi bisag mag-kaon ka sa pungko2x o mag-dota sa Gols hehe. Paspas pa ang net, smooth kaayo, nindot gyud. Murag Tim Duncan ba, mga simple ra kaayo ug moves, basic pero iyang gi-master ang kanang mga basic na moves mao nang efficient kaayo. Nagka-dugay kay nagka-nindot gihapon, di gyud mu-ubos ug ayo ang presyo labi na kung maayo nimo pagka-gam/walay scratch2x etc.

Pero kung ari pa ka ni-palit nako ug Galaxy, syempre nindot gyud ang Android. Pwede pa tika hatagan inamigo na discount, P29,000 ra. HAHA! Layo ra kaayo sa Wave. Ka-gamit na man ko sa duha, ang Wave mao na ang murag pang-starter phone sa bago pa ni-suway ug touchscreen. Mao nay gipang-gamit2x sa mga Highschool na studyante hehe. Ayg tuo sa tanan imong ma-basahan, daghan kaayog mga swito sho sa kalibutan nga wa diay alam.

this is funny.. Android is basically what you described plus MORE. seriously, you chose iphone because you can listen to music while eating sa pungko2 or playing sa gols? i mean, seriously?

Both are good. User preference nalang gyud and maka appreciate ra pud ka sa iOS if kusog ka mag tinker2x.

I won't get into any debates. That previous post was just my personal opinion. I was also very very skeptical about the iPhone, I decided against getting it because I thought it was more like a toy or a plaything. I went through the N900, the Hero, and more recently even tried Wave and Galaxy, not to mention that I also get to use my brother's SE X10 for tinkering purposes. I used to think 'anything but the iPhone'. Now, those phones are nice in their own right and actually offer more than the iPhone, especially if you tinker with them enough and install apps. But the longer I used those phones, like I said earlier, I realized that I really didn't need to use all those apps, and couldn't even if I tried. Maybe I overdid my tinkering and got sick of the phones faster than everyone else, but that's my personal honest experience. I gave in to curiosity and tried out the iPhone, and that's when I saw why all the 'Apple Fanboys' were so crazy about their preferred weapon of choice. While all those other phones I mentioned were also pretty smooth, the iPhone stood out because I found it really smoother and faster (I guess this is where we can see the wisdom behind Apple's 'no Flash'-ing). That's where the "basic, fundamental, Tim Duncan etc" part in the previous post comes in. That earlier post by L. Enario was right on the money for me, I was nodding along while reading his reply. TO ME, the iPhone is the embodiment of the lines 'Simplicity is beauty' and 'Less is more'. A bonus is if you're a Mac user (which I am), because you can sync your laptop and your phone and won't have to carry your laptop everywhere if you want to view pictures or documents or whatever. Another bonus is that iPhone prices don't depreciate to super-lows. And also, honestly, contrary to popular belief, you don't have to jailbreak to enjoy your iPhone. I didn't even jailbreak my iPhone and I'm still enjoying the phone even with just the free apps available. Call me a pedestrian user, I didn't buy a phone to take over the world or something. In short, in my search for the phone that gave me more, I realized that I really didn't need to get all those extra stuff.

The 'pungko2x and Gols' part was a joke. I happen to know m.garz/the TS, he's a high school classmate and we used to always play at Gols and I know he used to eat pungko2x a lot while in college. I'm not trying to cause an uproar here. Like I said, it's just my personal opinion. You're free to say otherwise. Just don't take any potshots at me, or say that I'm ignorant, or that I don't know anything about phones or OS or even that I'm a troll (whatever that means...I've been called that before in some thread hehe). (Consider that last sentence a preemptive attack.) Don't take it personal. Like they say in the movies, it's a free country. I guess our views might differ because we have different needs. I happen to like listening to music at random moments of the day, so don't make it seem like my comment sounds absolutely ridiculous. Who wouldn't want to have their own life soundtrack? If you like Android, then cool! You don't have to bash other people to make you feel better that you chose Android over iOS. Smile bosing! Di lang ta mag-lalis please! Hehe!
