Look at any video on youtube featuring either an apple device or a android device. You've got a massive argument happening which is just horondous. i'll admit that i was a bit of an apple fanboy, i was recently new to the apple software and i was currently loving it, every aspect of the iDevice wasn't flawed at all, everything was refined, everything was polished for the end user experience and there was this one time, when i was having a full on roar with another guy in my class, who was saying android was better and now thinking back on it, he was only there to rustle my jimmies. When i was having the full on roar, android was still in it's developing stages and it was still on 1.5 cupcake and i didn't like cupcake at all, you're lookkng at it and it's so omplicated to get around and everything was in submenus, which if you're finding something specific you've got to go round the entire operating system. Apple got it right first time round with their iPhone 2G, sure there was a couple of things missing that is essential to have in smartphones these days but for the time, the iPhone was brilliant.
i got side tracked there, Arguments are good, it gets people to compremise but not when you're fans of an OS and you've got virtually no power of what gets said to the manufactuer of the OS. sure you can talk about it and debate what features should go into different OS and who copied who but the thing that you've got remember is that Competition is good. If nobody rivaled apple, i'd say that most of the features we see the iOS wouldn't be there today and i'm not saying that apple would have copied anything that android does but i'm saying that apple want to keep their advanced mobile operating system. The most advanced mobile operating sytem.
It's the same thing with the PC and the mac, You've got two dedicated desktop operating system that have rivaled each other for years and years. The only advantage that the PC has is price over the convience, because the PC is so cheap and there's tons and tons of manfacturer who create windows powered desktop, people tend to go over to the windows side because it's cheaper. For the people that aren't bothered about the money and are willing to pay an extra 700 pounds, they are guarnteed to at least get another 5 years out of a mac because it's a realiable operating system.
The mac operating system is builtfully designed, since the hardware and sotware are developed in harmony, apple can create a almost perfect user experience with no hitches or bugs. With windows, it's very hard to tell on what operating system wil work on what hardware so windows have got to create a minimum specification version and then from that lowest spec they can justify what hardware can run that OS.
Thanks for reading.
happy birthday iPhone, 5 this week :-)
ReplyDeleteJust think, if the iPhone wasn't launched, we would still be locked into all of our software and hardware by the service providers. They said who sold what phone , how it was branded with their logos and what f any new features the manufactureres could build..iPhone paved the way for most of this innovation we have now..before Apple took the SP's to task, you got what they said and tough luck if it was rubbish!
