I go for Android

Monday, October 14, 2013

Depends on what you equate to being "better".

Android is great for ease of access for indie development, and you can mod the heck out of the phones easy, but it's a highly unstable OS and a lot of apps will force close frequently.

iOS on the other hand is a much more closed off OS in terms of indie friendliness, let alone modding, but is much more stable than Android is.

This is speaking from having had two android phones prior to my current iPhone, and, lack of physical keyboard aside, I actually prefer my iPhone over either of my android phones.

iPhone / ios is the complete package

coming from an android user

If you are a power user expecting the get the most of out your mobile device in terms of service tweaking, CPU governor/clock speeds, boot managers, kernel/module adapting, advanced networking and development services, and fine-tuned control with a dozen free options for every problem, then go with Android.

If you are a casual user expecting everything just to work without any fuss or problems, letting the device manage and automate its own operations unattended, overall simplification/unification of interfaces/functionality, and having less (likely commercial; albeit very capable) applications to accomplish a goal, then go with iOS.

It's really a matter of if you want to do something in a specific, but very well-optimized manner (iOS) or if you wish to do something in a infinitely more customizable, but more complex to to tap into, manner precisely matching your needs (Android).

The same debate can be made for Windows/Linux vs MacOS .

Exactly, Android can be a pain sometimes, with apps closeing, ads in apps, etc.
But it all comes down to your prefrence, I honestly never had any iOS device, but I bet there really simple, more optimized and so on.While Android can be customized in so many dif. ways, keyboard, rom, etc.
I would still go with iOS just because its so simple to navigate, not that android is hard to use or anything, but you get the point

Android, like Windows/Linux, is only a pain if you don't know how to fine-tune it and take control of every operation involved. If you aren't tech-savvy or just want to do common multimedia/social tasks, just go with an iDevice.

Apple products are and will continue to be produced for the masses who just want a point A to point B operation that just works -- without understanding or becoming involved in the technical details of the process.

While those two "fight" Ubuntu mobile is just slowly developing and will destroy them

A bit idealistic in lines of thinking, but if we're on those lines, technically x86 Windows 8 tablets are coming into fashion too -- meaning you can run absolutely any software you can run on your desktop computer (which is a library far exceeding Android/iOS/Linux software combined and multiplied).

Preferential MMO? Yep. 3dsmax, Photoshop, or production tool? Sure. Steam and all games? Absolutely.

I'm sorry but Ubuntu won't even come close to compete with them. The lack of support for the 'Ubuntu Edge' is a clear indication of the low interest in Ubuntu-based phones. The lack of applications on the desktop OS may be the cause of this.

To be fair, the desktop OS is getting a LOT more targeted software than you might imagine. Since a lot of companies/developers are considering Ubuntu the one "truly supported linux" distribution, software is starting to pop up that targets it.

Also, if Ubuntu's mobile OS is still trying to build cross-support for Android applications (as they were), they could easily piggy-back on Android's huge library of software. Couple this with running Ubuntu's mobile OS on an x86 tablet and you practically get Wine's supported Windows software as well.

Additionally, while we don't yet know the details of it, considering Valve's reputation, SteamOS will definitely push Linux builds to a much more mainstream state -- pouring large amounts of new software into the environment at an alarming rate.
