You said Apple gives you a smooth OS, I assumed you meant in contrast to Android

You can do as little or as much customisation as you want. The UI is mostly the same, but with the benefits of a hardware options button and a back button and extra stuff like widgets. You don't have to fiddle with it at all, you can just use it like an iPhone, but if you feel like it, there are so many things to tinker with

And if you want something symetrical, get a Samsung Galaxy S II. The whole point of Android is that you get a choice form factors, if you find the Arc too long in the hands, get something like the XPERIA Ray which is coming out now, it is the size of the iPhone


sure android is good where it is but the way it is going brand name and popularity and hype behind iPHONE 5 is not going to be good for android

i like freedom,used to say android is better than iOS when an year back but then i used them and got to know,most of the features are good to have but they are useless which i never use.

most people like set there phones outlook as in homepage and ui to be recognizable which apple easily provides.

here i am talking only about the OS not the hardware

 

but even the hardware,Apple has done alot better job in design and utility.


Well Android is now comfortably outselling iOS and it has already lept ahead in terms of features with 4G in the US, and there are more and more phones coming, and the iPhone 5 might help, but within a few months, Android phones will have superceded it

there comes the problem.when there is a new thing,people go behind it but you have to maintain and provide people features that suit them

isn't that's what happened with nokia,they were the first with all features but then went down.most people are submissive and they like to be a part of the bigger thing so android's features alone wouldn't keep them on

The problem with Nokia is that they didn't really do the features well, people have been submissive to iPhone, but in the age of the internet, people are less submissive, they will choose stuff on price and features

also android is growing but lately people have been complaining about it and not that much satisfied with it.you should look up how iPhone went ahead with the verizon launch in the US and how much hype is there behind iPhone 5 and people are wainting for it.APPLE has really created a cult following here

also android phones went ahead as there were cheaper alternative with it but APPLE has identified that recently and is working for it.

Well if they had been complaining, why does it keep growing. Apple already have the 3Gs as their cheap iPhone

And I have no idea what your other points are. I could make my homepage look identical to an iPhone users if I wanted, but I don't. Android provides everything that iOS does and more. The only advantage iOS has is that it gets some apps before Android, but that won't be for too long

thats the problem that you have to make it look identical but it isn't already there it terms of polish of the product.

android is good but its like a PC where you buy the part and arrange it where as MAC is an altogether well packed service provided to you by APPLE.

now here,PC is at home where we have time but when we are going with our life,we don't want that much of freedom.we just want to get things done.that is where apple comes through as it provides a service more that just a product.

the only advantage of apps that you talk about will remain there as android grow but its apps sales aren't growing at the rate of iOS as the market class is pretty wide because of cheaper models bought by lower income families


You don't seem to understand, you have the same list of apps that you get on an iPhone, and the polish is there. You get all the key features, but then you can change them if you want, Android may have been missing that baseline before, but with gingerbread, the underlying OS is so solid that it doesn't really need any customisation to be more than a match for iOS

i wasn't talking about the polish on apps,they are third pasrty so they will be polished.i am talking about the experience.

i know you get all the features,actually more on android and customization is right.its good for the consumer but what i am saying is that most people don't do much of it.

the new android market update is pretty good,that is what they really did good.

its just the business of multiple manufactures just won't work the way it does with computers.

phones and portables are a whole other deal.first is that when ur outside,u think more of utility tahn features and customization and people like to show things off.

 

for example

NEXUS S looked the best of android phones to go against iPHONE

it had well designed hardware,its software customisation was smooth and well done and looked pretty clean as in software,no clutter

 

what i mean is that most manufactures don't do a good job.for example samsung comes out with great tech with amoled and fast processors but their hardware design is hideos.and most of android manufactures do a hideos job with customising the software to their phones.
