![]() ![]() And the MacOS is useful for when a customer asks me a mac specific question (about once a year). I have a mac mini, but it primarily runs windows(7), it was the only piece of hardware that I could find that was as small, powerful, low-heat, and low-power (at a reasonable price) I could find. I absolutely hate iTunes, I de-installed it asap and only install it for firmware updates once in a blue moon. I like their smallest iPod, the iPhone(4), and the iPad. While some would dismiss me as a rabbit Apple fan, I'm not. There's currently nothing that really compares to the iPad in Android country, but I'm sure that's going to change soon. I have never had a piece of hardware that is as easy to use in daily operation as the iPhone/iPad.Īs in regards to using iOS apps, I prefer to use the iPad at the table then the iPhone4, it just has more screen real estate. I have very little issues as a user with the locked down nature of the iPhone/iPad. Imho, the only advantage that Android currently has over iOS is that it's not locked down and is based on Open Source software. There are many new Android products out there that are crap because they used a really old version of Android, or the removed everything that makes Android a 'free' platform. Also individual implementations can vary wildly, just because a piece of hardware uses Android doesn't mean it's a great implementation of Android. I do think that Android is quickly catching up with iOS in regards to user-friendliness and feature set. I agree that Android OS will probably run right past iOS, but that has more to do with it being cheap (no license fee) and every hardware manufacturer has access to it, then with it being the 'better' OS. Any hints on what the apps do? That way we might hold of buying apps that might do what we want with a little bit of work. Was the 'defect' so big that it was a 'show stopper'? If not, why not release it and bug fix it in a newer release? You can't throw a dragon and hit a 4E iOS app, not so much for Pathfinder. BB OS is getting replaced and to be honest that is looking good as well, especially their new tablet (the first use of their new OS). Android is sprinting to catch up to the competition, it's curious to see if they keep on sprinting. iOS has been around for 3.5 years, Android for only for 2.2 years, the Black Berry for over a decade.Īs you can see the sales for 2009 were abysmal compared to what they are now. One does not count a countries citizens based on the number of newborns, you take all the people in circulation into account. Then you use the number of units in actual use and not the sales for the last year. Those are also global stats, don't know how many units Paizo is selling in China or Africa, but I suspect it doesn't compare to the number of units sold in the US. Those are the sales for 2010, not the actual amount of units active using the aforementioned OSes. ![]() With every iPad and iPod Touch sold, Apple increases the profile of iOS with potential iPhone buyers and strengthens its developer ecosystem." Full Report Here ![]() "As a platform, iOS is in excellent shape," said Ms. The wider availability of the iPhone 4 helped Apple to maintain its share of the smartphone market to 16.0 percent in the fourth quarter 2010 and led the iPhone OS platform to reach the No. With every iPad and iPod Touch sold, Apple increases the profile of iOS with potential iPhone buyers and strengthens its developer ecosystem." “This aggregated volume kept Symbian slightly ahead of Android,” said Ms. However, the Symbian OS is also used by Fujitsu and Sharp as well as in legacy products from Sony Ericsson and Samsung. This allowed Android to overtake Nokia's Symbian unit sales during the fourth quarter of 2010. Symbian’s market share dropped further in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 32.6 percent or 32.6 million units. Android sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 continued to be driven by broad availability of many high-end products from HTC (Desire range, Incredible and EVO), Samsung (Galaxy S) and Motorola (Droid X, Droid 2). ![]() "In the smartphone operating system (OS) market, '' Android grew 888.8 percent in 2010 and moved to the No. ![]()
