- rbarooah 16y agoApple's track record for updating iOS devices is hugely better than Samsungs.
- nuclear_eclipse 16y agoI would never buy a mobile Apple device for myself. I have a Nexus S, had a Nexus One before that, and won't be buying a tablet until I can compare the Xoom and the Tab 10.1 (or any other wifi competitor) and be sure that whichever I choose, I have the ability to reflash the device with custom firmware.
- jokermatt999 16y agoStock Android update timing tends to be much, much worse than iOS update timing, especially when custom firmware is involved. I say this as someone who borders on being an Android fanboy. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to prefer Android, but guaranteed on-time updating is not one of them, unless you've got a custom ROM. But if you're going to mention custom device images, aren't there similar options for jailbroken iPhones anyway?
