[QUOTE="Kid-Atari"] I've got an app that lets me shoot time-lapse videos and panoramic photos, mystic_knight

Wow theres an app for that? The One X has it built in with HDR shots and still shots while video recording, Its pretty sweet.

Most of the apps you listed i believe are available on android, and he uses an incredible S so it should be available for him.

I have no idea what that cablevision is though, is that american specific?

It's good to know Android finally caught up. I remember the first two years, Android didn't have any of the apps I listed. Much like how Netflix, Skype and Facebook arrived many years after theyve been on iOS. iOS does have built in HDR but no built in timelapse/360 degree panoramic capability. Still, in general iOS tends to have the best Apps first.

yes I do and there are so many apps that are just a replica of the mobile website and in some cases have less function than the mobile website, there are certain things a good apps is great for such as gps navigation but there are tones out there just because people are trying to get a slice of the mobile app market. . imprezawrx500
I've got an app that lets me control my laptop and desktop remotely from anywhere in the world using 3G or WiFi. An app that scans documents in high resolution, converts it to PDF and faxes it to any number. Unit conversion app is helpful where the proper distribution of measured liquids (or plant matter) is needed. An app that uses the camera LED flash as a bright flashlight. An app that turns my phone into a WiFi/Bluetooth hard-drive, an App that instantly translates between any combination of languages, an app that scans barcodes and QR codes. There's an app I have that lets me shoot time-lapse videos and panoramic photos, I've got an app that lets me charge any major credit or debit card to deposit the payment directly to my bank account, an app that acts a leveler, an app that serves as a speedometer, an app that lets me produce full fledged music productions, and an app that lets me watch Optimum Cablevision channels. Let's not mention the hundreds of games worth downloading. How are any of these a "replica of a mobile website?" These are more functional than any website can even offer. It sounds to me like you either don't own a smartphone or aren't on iOS.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="Gambler_3"]Are you suggesting galaxy S2 is an inferior quality product than iphone 4S? :|

How does the S2 being cheaper suggest that android experience isnt better? Just because samsung products arent a ripoff doesnt mean they are "cheap" products lol.

Gambler_3

No, you're assuming just because it's breaking records it must be giving a solid android experience that keeps getting better. No, that's a shaky assumption since retailers move these 'record breaking number' of units @ deeper discounts than the initial $200 price point. Galaxy S2 selling a lot? Would this have to do with the fact that retailers are NOT selling it for the conventional $200 price tag?

Galaxy S2 has been on the market for 1 year now. When it launched it was the fastest selling android phone at full price.

for being able to buy a Galaxy S2 for 50 bucks, it's actually a bit laughable that it only kept the lead in sales for one quarter. And yes, the Galaxy S2 is an inferior quality product than the iPhone 4S. Blame it on your clunky OS.

[QUOTE="musicalmac"][QUOTE="Gambler_3"]

And how do you know android doesnt have immensely satisfying ratings?

I know many people who switched from iphone to android, none so far who went back.

And verizon isnt the world but nobody denied the 4S is selling like hotcakes.

Gambler_3

You've got your focus on the wrong thing again. You do not want to begin a discussion comparing Android satisfaction ratings to iOS satisfaction ratings. Just, for once, trust me.

Android has higher sales growth than iOS, sorry but there is nothing that can convince me that android satisfaction rates are lower than iOS because it would just be illogical to believe that.

Please dont bring in any surveys or anything, the marketshare is the biggest and undisputable fact. :)

Android may have "internal" dissatisfaction meaning one might be dissatisfied with LG and might wanna switch to samsung or HTC. In the iOS vs android debate that dissatisfaction is irrelevant because a person dissatisfied with an LG phone is not necessarily dissatisfied with android.

Android satisfaction rates are immensely lower than iOS. This isn't discussion. It's a plain admission of fact. It's irritating that you can't look up your own research and have to force one of us to silence you with hard evidence of which you'll most likely end up disputing with twisted logic anyway. The number of Android users switching over to iOS increases every passing fiscal quarter. What part of the last two years have you missed? You hold onto the concept of Android increasing its user-base without acknowledging the fact that the majority of that growth come from pre-paid phones, or phones that are ridiculously subsidized to cost a mere FIVE DOLLARS. Those type of users aren't paying customers, and definitely don't intend on plunking down money for any apps. All the market share in the world won't amount to anything if it grows to be the least supported platform in the world. Even Windows Phone's are stealing developers from Android at this point. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2012/03/31/five-reasons-why-developers-need-to-be-wary-about-android/ Forbes itself details how even Android developer interest decreases every year. Why? Severe fragmentation and users that simply refuse to buy apps. They clearly explain how Android market-share is nothing but an empty shell that doesn't translate to anything worthwhile for developers with limited resources and time. So yes, we will provide surveys, polls, and especially analytical research, because the "market-share" you love to tout is actually the BANE of Android developers. A majority of that market-share finds developers supporting the lowest common denominator for decent returns. The biggest indisputable fact is that iOS has an unheard of retention rate in the history of electronic devices, while Androids only worsens every year. The bigger indisputable fact is that there exists a MULTITUDE of market research that clearly shows that the number of people leaving Android for iOS and even WINDOWS phones has been on a rise with no sign of slowing down, and you expect us to be convinced by your simple hear-say? :roll:

If you're planning on gaming, you might want to go with what you were leaning for.

Majority of people have an iOS device (an iPad, iPod or iPhone), and you'll be able to connect seamlessly with any of those owners online via gamecenter or locally through WiFi or Bluetooth. Ecosystem is rock solid, consistent, and contains thousands more polished and stable apps.

According to recent studies, iOS is set to completely dominate the mobile ecosystem in the very near future. One study shows the demand for JUST the iPhone, let alone the huge and constantly growing demand for iPads and iPods

According to that previous survey apple should have sold 400% more iphones than samsung smartphones in the last quarter which obviously didnt happen. Get out of here fanboy!!

Apple sold 37 million units last quarter, compared to the 13 million it sold previous. That's way more than double an increase in just one quarter. The chart perfectly represents that event. :)

From the way you're constructively discussing the iPhone's future, you would think you're planning on purchasing one soon. I wouldn't be surprised. A few from your camp has already converted.

[QUOTE="musicalmac"][QUOTE="Gambler_3"]

So? Posting obviously inaccurate third party information is the same as posting it yourself.

Gambler_3

The information is accurate. Follow the links, the survey was run by a respectable organization.

When the survey so obviously doesnt represent reality it is irrelevant.

Surveys are useless to declare absolutes like you have done. I recently went to london, everyone seems to have an iphone there. If I were to do a survey in london it might seem 90% of the world owns an iphone.

ChangeWave research is one of the few prestigious analytical and research companies that Wall Street relies on for sound financial projections. The only one that doesn't have a firm grasp of reality here is you, seeing as you're the only one here arguing with facts like a lunatic. More proof you don't know what you're talking about: Samsung isn't making much of a profit off their smartphone sales. In fact, despite their huge phone sales success last year, their profits actually FELL. http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/27/samsungs-q3-2011-overall-profit-falls-despite-incredible-phone/ You are so knowledgeable and well-researched. :roll: So no, Samsung is not making "serious" profit off of their phones, and yes, the iPhone is now the most in-demand smartphone of all time this year, and iOS market share is going to level off while Android retention rates continue to systematically decline as it always has for the last two years. And no, the Razrr Maxx is not a revolution. It's anything but that, and I've read your fellow Android fans completely disagree with you in your own forum. You do not have any foresight, in fact you have the opposite of; and it would be much appreciated if you kept out of this iOS exclusive discussion with your apparent Android blindness.

kindly stop with these troll posts.

Gambler_3
... yet ironically, this thread is a legit post where it belongs in the Apple forum, and yours is a troll post. Samsung has the world's largest smartphone brand in 2011, according to market watcher IHS. But Apple had a strong Q4 with sales of iPhone 4S and was the leading smartphone supplier in the fourth quarter. Apple in the fourth quarter of 2011 shipped 37 million smartphones worldwide, up 117% from 17 million in the second quarter. Do the math. Apple jumped from 17 million in the third quarter to 37 million in the fourth, and jumped up even more the first quarter of this year. They've already begun to outpace Samsung. http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/03/29/nielsen-recent-u-s-iphone-sales-nearly-matched-androids/ ^ Look at this link. Do the math. If every quarter, Apple is selling more iPhones, and Apple grabs more market share, then the statistics in OP make perfect sense. Seems to me like everyone was just waiting for the iPhone 5. Say goodbye to Samsungs lead this year. Say goodbye to Android market dominance, in general, actually. Apple managed to take half the entire market with just one phone.

The new update is a RAM hog, and the multi-tasking system for Android isn't save-state based, so if you launch too many apps to multi-task you'll naturally place a strain on the OS.

I'd factory reset, it's usually my cure-all for my various Android-based afflictions.
