don't mean to be that guy but when you think of how Android has USB host and is compatible with various console controllers, gotta give props to Google for being forward looking.
- kalleboo 15y agoiOS can use USB over the dock port, but is subject to strict approval and licensing from Apple which is why there are very few dock port accessories. Meanwhile since Android devices just use microUSB, there's no licensing involved.
- kstenerud 15y agoIt's more an issue of openness rather than one of forward thinking. Apple just doesn't want unapproved hardware connecting to their devices. They also want royalties from anyone who DOES get their approval. They'd even block audio hacks like this if they could. Once a company gains too much control over the consumer, innovation suffers.
