As for features enjoying plugging into docking station.. There are many more advanced features for android device

For proof watch this vid : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI-Rbm-m5Kk

So if we count the pros again.. android being an open platform has much much more options available

 

Remember, I had an android device before and my fiance has the Galaxy S3 we are discussing. I know about it being open as my phone was running CM7 vanilla ROM with custom kernel and with various performance mods to get it to well over 2600 on benchmark tests, which was pretty high considering the Captivate had a benchmark score of 800 when stock. Those mods came at a price though since the ROMs tend to not be 100% stable and I had WiFi issues, GPS issues amongst various others. I am well versed in the modding community and am a frequent user over at the XDA forums.

My iPhone is also jail broken and highly moddable at the moment so what am I missing right now? Widgets and Live Wallpapers? Never used them before thanks to being nothing but resource and battery drains. My phones is already set to do what I would have had my Android do and it's running fantastic.

Your video is also about the Note, which is a big ass tablet-phone thing. We are discussing S3 and 4S. Plus I already have a laptop and a tablet, so that is pretty useless actually. It's one of those features where you say "Hey, look what I can do!", meanwhile nobody really cares.

 

Now coming to resale part.

The thing is the carrier based 2 year contract works only in US..its nowhere as much adapted around the world.

So to sum up. Just because some different policy available in US . the resale value of iPhone makes it better for the US citizens.

i then quite agree with you iPhone is better for you..even though because of only its resale value.

Rest of the world is dominated by Android.

 

Good thing this article is about the US, not to mention I live in the US. I don't care what people use outside of it because i'm not calling them.

 

So what i see is Android task up ahead : shift US citizens to Android from iOS

iOS task up ahead : shift Rest of the world citizens to iOS from Android.N

I pretty much know who is gonna come on top :D

 

In marketshare? Yes. In developer and peripheral support? No.

 

Still, I think the S3 is an awesome device. It just isn't for me and honestly, it isn't in anyway a device that blows mine away. At least in any real meaningful way anyways.




You say 

 It's one of those features where you say "Hey, look what I can do!", meanwhile nobody really cares.

Well cant same be said about your docking station feature or peripheral support ? Rest of the world dont uses and dont care.

Developer support will go only with the devices who have the biggest marketshare..Android started up late and thus all developers rushed to iOS because it had bigger market share in the previous years but now both have equal no of apps. so it actually means android has catched up and developer support is at a bigger pace then Apple.

 

My iPhone is also jail broken and highly moddable at the moment so what am I missing right now? Widgets and Live Wallpapers? Never used them before thanks to being nothing but resource and battery drains. My phones is already set to do what I would have had my Android do and it's running fantastic.

Now this is pure opinion.

Same can be said for Android User

My Android has Widgets and Live Wallpapers and is extremely moddable at the moment so what am I missing right now? Resale Value? Never used them because i never like selling my device Just like my console and other gadgets. My phones is already set to do much more that i would have been able to do with my iPhone do and it's running fantastic.
