YMMV. I own a Droid X and recently got the opportunity to use an iPhone 4 briefly, and I think I'll stick with Android, for a few reasons:
- The web browser doesn't seem to zoom into and magnify text areas as well on iPhone.
- No swype. It was absolutely painful to type anything.
- The battery life was actually worse, especially while sleeping.
- The common way to go "back" in applications seems to be a button in the upper left, which I find harder to reach than the physical button near the bottom of the Droid.
There may be a way to fix or work around these problems, but I'm quite happy with Android, and really don't relate to any of his complaints. It fits my needs.
EDIT: after reading the other comments, I see I'll probably get downvoted to oblivion for this. :D
- adziki 15y agoI'm in this same boat. I think that people's opinions on this probably also tend to be biased by what you're used to from a desktop-use background. the ugly, unpolished, clunky comments I just don't see. Any application weirdness has been with how a specific app handles certain behaviors (logins, new windows spawning, etc). Having worked through creating a few apps, I can agree that it's not the simplest thing to create apps which 100% abide by the android design principles, and having worked with people at my company trying to divert them away from the "let's brand it so it's obviously our style" view point to trying to abide by how Android apps function. that's quite a battle some times.
