that's exactly my point. you dont know what these things are because you use an ipad. there is a whole other world out there. if you don't know what widgets or usb hardware support is, google it.
- yalogin 15y agoYou did not make any point. You also assumed I am an iPhone user. Anyway I was not trying to grill you, I was genuinely curious. Nice to know you are enjoying your android phone.
- joebadmo 15y agoI'm not sure why the gp is avoiding the issue. Live widgets on home screens are great. They give you interactivity and live updates without having to enter an app. So things like weather, news, calendars, etc. The home screen in general is a lot more accessible to developers. E.g. I can add a shortcut to a contact on my homescreen that, when I tap it, opens up a small modal dialogue with quick access to phone calls, texts, emails, etc. I can alternatively add a shortcut that directly dials the contact with the first tap. Another thing that I really like about Android over iOS is that developers have a lot more access to the settings of the phone than in iOS. This allows apps like Locale, which lets you set different contexts depending on different parameters such as location, time, battery level, orientation, etc. This allows me to set my phone to vibrate and turn off wifi when I leave the house for example. I no longer have to remember to set my phone to silent or any other such nonsense. I fully acknowledge that there are many things iOS does better than Android, but these are the reasons that some people prefer Android, and they're for the most part just as true about tablets as phones.
- yalogin 15y agoThanks! I did not know the widgets on the home screen can be modified by developers. That could be really useful. Very good to know.
