| ultima said: I may not know what WebOS is, but I know enough about iOS, Android, BB, WP to educate people about them. You telling me I have no business doing that is like you telling a mathematician that he shouldn't be teaching number theory, just because he doesn't know game theory, despite him having vast knowledge of number theory itself. But that's irrelevant, because I never said I'd be educating anyone on mobile tech. I said, if you read that again, that I was trying to educate people who supported apple on that particular issue that they were supporting something that was good for neither them as a consumer nor the industry as a whole. And you may like to know that Android was actually in development before iOS. So yeah... |
That's a disengenous statement. Yes, Android started development in 2005. It also released a full 18 months after iOS was shown to the public. When it "started development" is really irrelevent.
Look, you're trying to defend Android. That's nice but I don't really care about companies. I bounce back and forth between devices based on what I think is the best value at the time. But it's blatantly apparent to any objective viewer that Google aped the iOS design aesthetic in early incarnations. Yes, they branched out from that point into some pretty good design but it's impossible to deny that those early OSes were heavily influenced by Apple.
