Smartphone OS, which do you prefer?

[ursamajor]

I am now an Android user, although it saddens me, as I consider both Android and iOS to be dogshit (I just consider Android to be less stinky). It is a shame that Palm could not figure out hour to market webOS better, as it is lightyears ahead of what anything Apple and Google have done to date.

What do you guys prefer?

I like Lappen OS the best, but teenagers rule the market, so we all get dumbed-OS's for smart-phones that propel the market and hardware around it. It's by far and away the best performing smartphone OS.

But if you're talking about the gadget-phone battle, then Android >>>>>>>> iOS. Especially since Android 4.1+. Before Android 4.1, you could easily say iOS 5-6 were superior, and it would be objective. But now, forget about it, Android is full steam ahead, while iOS is relying on it's hype-train and super-loyal customers to somehow find the right angles and claim it's false-superiority.

Android for now.

Can't stand iOS, not sure how a grid of icons is any sort of proper UI design. I'll probably get a Windows phone through work just because I haven't used one day to day yet.

Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is the best.

iOS has looked almost the same since it came out back in 2007, they need a redesign ASAP.

Android. All the way.

Been with the Nexus line of products for the last couple of years. Nothing to turn me away against them so far.. though the rumors on that Galaxy S IV are pretty crazy and awesome.

The note looks cool. but I prefer a bit smaller than the huge psedo tablet smart phones

Stock Vanilla Android is the best man. I hate that TouchWiz crap that Samsung has on their Android phones, the same with HTC.

Lol, BearsMod got himself banned again? What did he do this time?

And to the original q, Android.

What is funny about webOS was that you typed in the Konami Code to put the phone into developer mode.

As an iphone user, I'm fairly quick to point out the deficiencies of the OS. Android is definitely on the ups lately, but I still can make fun of my friends because their phones lag and mine doesn't. :elephant:

LOL, I had no idea.

WebOS was too little, too late when Palm was developing it. I generally like Palm and their approach to adding solutions to the market before 2007ish. But WebOS was designed by the marketing department, or at least it feels that way. A gimmick to sell a gimmick.

Got a free upgrade a couple years back and had no idea what to get. I asked the lady at the store what she would get and ended up with two I-Phones for 57 dollars. (had to get two data plans of course)... anyway can't say I have had any negative issues. Never thought I'd want one... now I use it for everything... pretty awesome little invention really.

I just recently purchased a Windows Phone. A Nokia Lumia 928. I had to send one back to an ebay seller because it still had multiple things going wrong with it even though it was supposed to be refurbished. Bought another from a different seller. Once I get past the no google play thing I might can start to dig it. Apps kind of suck but the camera is awesome. I'm still getting used to it.

I really like it's interface, and xbox music is a great service.

It still need more app support, and I never did get one. I keep meaning to...

Much prefer the Andriod OS over iOS (though there are some features on the iPhone I prefer, but not many).

Not sure why you think Android OS is shit.

 

[Crystallas]

Heh, crazy bump.


Cyanogenmod > all.

I use Spotify so I haven't looked into Xbox music. The windows people app and Me app are pretty cool. You can keep up with your contacts posts across multiple social media outlets and Me lets you check notifications and post without having to open each app separately

I was going to start a thread but I searched first. I'm a good boy.
