Stick with Android

IPhone 4S...no larger screen!!!! Can't add micro sd card for more storage!!!! Still have to use their charger cord!!!! Can't think of much the iPhone will do that my Droid X can't do except for a front camera...

I will stick with Android for my next phone in June 2012..works great for me....

I was responding

I was responding to your choice of words. Now if you had said iOS did manage to climb .07 percentage whereas Android OS managed a 5.6 percentage climb, I wouldn't have responded. That's all. smile

Poor RIM

Apple iOS and Android OS are eating up RIM share.

Android is newer to the game, give it a couple more years to settle out.

There are people that simply won't consider Apple, like it's a phobic condition.

iPhone 4S probably won't appeal to those that have no idea what's going on under the hood and they just focus on aesthetics. Most people do not understand the technical gooble-dee-gook. Most people are still hung up on clock speed as the penultimate metric. Most people have no idea what 3G, 4G, or LTE means, or where and when they might be deployed in a reliable state.

I for one think the 4S is pretty good and should have three of them shortly after they are available. We have 3G iPhones right now.

Apple puts together a complete system like no other, because it can.

Does Apple Hurry?

Apple doesn't hurry, and it does quite well. It is very careful and well planned.

Amazing how the iPhone has done given the limited carriers. Can only get better as more carriers come online.

Notice how Apple hasn't "hurried" to jump on the 4G bandwagon. What's the point?

Much faster..

4G is only about 10 times faster than 3G!!!! Apple is a great company....enough said....I have two IPODS and a IPad2. When it comes to phones I don't see where they have any advantage. I do see disadvantages though...

Bobby....Garmin 2450LM

But

Have you looked at the upload & download speeds of the iPhone 4S compared to 4g?

Apple is saying 14 Mbps download & over 8 Mbps upload. That's faster than I get on U-Verse on my home system.

4G and 4G LTE

Yeah, it's great.

Now go look at the coverage maps and see how little 4G/LTE coverage there is.

I'll wait a couple years until 4G/LTE service is actually widely available where I might travel before I get a 4G/LTE capable handset.

What good are those fantastic 4G specs in a handset if I'm not in a 4G/LTE service area?

Battery hog

From what I've read, 4G will use up the battery faster.

"Apple’s incremental approach with iPhone 4S “makes sense,” according to Francis Sideco, senior principal analyst, wireless communications, for IHS iSuppli, the electronic component research arm of IHS. In a report, IHS notes that “with the speeds the iPhone has attained with the existing 3G standard known as High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA), there is no appreciable benefit to adopting LTE, especially given the current spectrum and uplink speed constraints for LTE.”

“Apple declined to offer an LTE-enabled iPhone that would have been more expensive, larger and more power-hungry, and instead opted to introduce a device that delivers nearly the same wireless data speed, but with a superior user experience,” Sideco writes."

Lets bet on that, I bet the next release of the IPhone in 18 months from now (gauging on their past release schedule) will be LTE enabled

Now that the new iPhone is just a revamped old iPhone, I bet Android keeps chugging along.

Imitation is the finest form of flattery

Check this out out: http://www.dailytech.com/Android+Gobbles+RIMs+Market+Share+i...

The Android OS runs on hardware from many established manufacturers and many models and runs on just about every carrier.

The Apple iOS runs on one platform, was limited to one carrier for two or three years, and just recently became available on other carriers. Very impressive growth, especially since Apple had no experience in cell phone products.

Apple went from zero to leading in a couple years. Most interesting is that the Android and others are mimicking the iOS.

Imitation is the finest form of flattery.

How are the stalwarts, RIM and Windows doing in the smartphone markets?

iphone vs droid

If you have apple gear it only makes sense to go with the iphone. I just went with iphone and haven't regretted it. I had a Blackberry when the droid came out so it was like night and day. If I didn't have Apple gear I would have went with the droid. It's like choosing Magellan or Garmin. For me it was what I chose to begin with and learning curves. As long as it does what its supposed to then its what I want and need.

When you get right down to it how much better can one be over the other. People need to get what they feel works best for them. iPhone vs android ?????? everyone has there opinion.

Personally I like my android with the larger screen... It down loads plenty fast for me.

LTE Should be nice

My daughter has the iPhone4, and it is much faster than her previous iPhone 3G. Even normal 3G service downloads are much faster on the iPhone 4. If LTE is all it is supposed to be, it will be very impressive.

Until then, I'll still be watching those deployment maps.

Google pays so much for its moat

It is also difficult to make such a comparison since Google pays so many different companies. Google pays the wireless carriers for each Android phone through an advertising and app revenue sharing agreement. Google also pays Microsoft an estimated 5 dollars for device over a patent settlement. Google paying is all part of its moat strategy to protect its economic castle, its search engine with its targeted advertising. It pays dearly for products it delivers for free as part of a defensive strategy for its truly profitable business.

Since Google is running Android at a loss to protect its true business, it is hard to simply compare it to Apple which is raking in the dough with its mobile venture.

Google's Moat

A couple links from a quick search, I'm sure more can be found with a little digging. The first link gives decent background on the economic castle-unbreachable moat concept that was made to be well-known by Warren Buffet. The other links are more Google-specific and one of them has a cool little graphic.

Sprint sold out too

I just went to Sprint website. The iPhone 4S 16GB is out of stock. 32GB and 64GB pre-order is still available at this time. Sprint also offers iPhone 4 8GB for $99.99 with 2 year agreement. Since the 4S is a GSM + CDMA phone, I wonder if the GSM feature is locked to US GSM providers only.

If it's anything like the GSM side of my former BB Tour, it came with a Vodaphone SIM that could be activated and used overseas.... or, there was supposedly ways one could unlock the GSM side of the phone to work in the US... or other international providers... never tried it myself.

Android's Voice Actions Vs. Apple's Siri

International Business Times San Francisco

In an apples-to-apples comparison, it does appear that that the two applications are essentially the same - except that Voice Actions beat Siri to the scene by more than a year.

The real sour note is the fact that Apple has quietly pulled Siri from the iTunes store, where it was available for free in its third-party app incarnation until the iOS 5 version was unveiled at the "Let's Talk iPhone" event on Tuesday. Siri will now not be available for love nor money to any not in possession of the iPhone 4S. Voice Actions continues to be available as a free download for users of Android 2.2 (Froyo) and above.
-------------------------------------------------

Does Android's Voice Actions have some catching up to do? you bet. But you can bet it will very soon.

when you buy an iPhone 4S unlocked you will not be able to use it with CDMA networks. This is clearly stated in their User agreement (i.e. unlocked iPhone section).
Verizon and Sprint follow the protocol for world phones.
Verizon and Sprint iPhones will have all four GSM '2G' bands unlocked and all but the UMTS '3G' bands used in the US unlocked

Depends on how you define "4G"... if you believe AT&T's marketing team, that their HSPA+ really is 4G - the GSM iPhone4S is HSPA+ able. The CDMA (as in sprint & verizon) are EVDO-Rev.A capable.

LTE will be the next big deal - and I'm guessing the next iPhone will be LTE and release in about a year when Verizon is nearly completely deployed and has most of the bugs worked out on their LTE deployment, and AT&T will be further along, and Sprint will have some LTE out too.

--
*Keith* MacBook Pro *wifi iPad(2012) w/BadElf GPS & iPhone6 + Navigon*

3G, 4G, Meh

LTE will be the next big thing.

There isn't much LTE service available, except a few small markets, and last I saw they were considered test markets. I don't like testing products. I'll wait, thank you.

LTE is presently rather power hungry and probably needs an iteration or two to get battery life to an appropriate level.

If AT&T was surprised by the network load they saw when the first iPhone was released, wait until you see what happens to the network loads when the LTE service really gets going. Hopefully a lesson was learned.

I'm using T-mobile, they have much faster "4G" than ATT will ever do LOL, not even mentioning reception problems friends using ATT have in NYC smile

I refuse to recognize any cell devices not using a sim-card and incapable of using a standard GSM network. that's mostly because I travel to UE sometimes ... and pretty much all Sprint/Verizon devices are garbage over there.

I have to admit I have never owned a cell phone not being a 4-band device (worldwide or international as they name it), capable of using GSM networks in both US and UE (frequencies are slightly different).

i'm quite happy with t-mobile, like their customer service very much too, helped me a few times big times in my favor.

i'm aware that 4G is not really it in most places, NYC is a good example of overcrowded network.

was just wondering if an apple's iphone finally grew up enough to release a 4G capable phone, because androids had that since over a year ... wink

I used Siri for a time but maybe it didn't like my southern accent. Things such as find movies playing in a city would sometimes work well and other times give no results. I've had much better luck with dragon go an app from dragon. I'd be suprised if you can't find it for android. My take on Siri was apple was going to integrate it into the iOS. Given apples reputation I would be surprised if they don't improve the older Siri and take voice control to a higher level. Time will tell.

iPad Surpasses iPhone in U.S. Internet Traffic, Nabs 97% Share of Tablet Traffic

Quote:

Looking at the broader tablet and smartphone market, iOS as a whole represented 43.1% of the installed user base for connected devices in the United States over the study period, with Android placing second at 34.1%. But in looking at traffic from those devices as a gauge for how much they are being used, iOS takes a commanding 58.5% of the market while Android dips to 31.9%.

Open source systems are no more at risk than "closed" systems, and many are less so. Unknown to many, Apple uses a version of Linux, which would be Open Source if they would participate in the Open Source community. But, to do so, would jeopardize their profit margin.

I have programmed in UNIX and Linux for many more years than I care to admit, and security has never been a big issue. Sloppy programming has always been an issue, as proven by Microsoft over and over.

    Get iOS 5 and iCloud Features On Your Android Phone and Tablet

    Mobile News & Reviews
    10/13/2011

    Yesterday was the big day for Apple device owners as the iOS 5 update hit. Though the upgrade didn’t go smoothly for everyone, many are enjoying their updated iPhones and iPads right this second. Android owners are looking at the lack of Ice Cream Sandwich in their lives and thinking: “Where’s Mine?”

    Even if you don’t have the very latest and greatest Android that doesn’t mean you can’t have all the cool features those iOwners get to enjoy with iOS 5 and iCloud. After all, many of them are already available on Android (most for free).

    If you want to iOSify your droid, here are the apps you need to replicate Siri, Find My Friends, Photo Stream, iMessage, iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, and everything else.
