Apple co-founder concedes Android advantages

NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!!!!

 

No, Apple bought (and paid fair value at the time) the GUI from Xerox. Microsoft may have stolen some of the technology from Apple, but there are a number of background differences between the two operating systems, especially in how oustide developers have to write the software. Microsoft is much easier to develope software for, thus the higher levels of outside software available for you 'IBM compatible' PC.

 

I think we will see some major changes at apple now that Steve Jobs is dead.

 

Y'all made me do it

 

One thing his Android doesn't do is make a profit. He won't be selling his Apple shares anytime soon. Closed at $430 yesterday, up $30 since the start of the new year.

But, about all those things Android supposedly does...the number of good quality apps available for iPhone are vastly more than for Android. So, that means iPhone really does do more, right?

I've heard the Samsung Galaxy might be competitive with iPhone speed and screen quality now...

 

Now LOL iphone just got into dual core phones nexus is what 1.5ghz and we have super amoled plus screens are bigger screens at that and android market has the same quality apps u better look at the market share and see which phones sell more my sgs2 is 1.2ghz dual core with a 4.5 inch screen

Actually, Microsoft licensed the GUI from Apple. Apple later got upset because Microsoft later used that license for things Apple hadn't anticipated (e.g. for the GUI of Microsoft Windows, rather than for Microsoft products made for the Mac, such as the original Microsoft Word.)

Apple actually sued Microsoft over this and lost. The court agreed that Apple's patents covered the "look and feel" of the OS, but found that Apple had granted Microsoft a license for these same patents. So Apple shot themselves in the foot there.

Personally, I like it when manufacturers borrow good ideas from each other. As a consumer, that means I end up with a wider range of products from which to choose, and at a lower price.

 

I can't find an Android app that will take a screenshot as easily as the iPhone or one that works as well as Siri.

Also I can buy and install a battery in the Droid by myself, Apple went to anti-tamper screws on the case, that's actually why I didn't get the iPhone, they're just too greedy for me.

 

Interesting. My old iPhone 3g was my first phone ever that actually got a "second life" after installing a new battery. My wife used it as a hand-me-down for nearly two years. The last nail in that phone's coffin was iOS 4, causing it to run incredibly slow. Had they stopped upgrade support for that model at version 3, she'd probably still be using it.

Usually by the time I have a battery that's failing, either the new battery costs more than a newer phone, or the old one is too outdated to bother with.

 

I can get batteries at an independent cell phone repair shop a lot cheaper than Verizon.

I saw an article online about that last year, it just annoys me that they think they have to make EVERY dollar.
