Going back to an iPhone after entering text with Swype on an Android device is like a bad joke. Anybody that thinks Android hasn't brought anything new to the table hasn't really used an Android phone.

"Anybody that thinks Android hasn't brought anything new to the table hasn't really used an Android phone." Not sure who said that anywhere in the discussion, or in the linked article, or anywhere else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

  Not sure that your "Straw man" link is appropriate - the very first comment in this thread starts with: Copying Apple is not really 'innovation' This implies (to me anyway) the notion that Android does not innovate (aka bringing something new to the table) but merely copies Apple. (I assume that Android is meant here because the original article discusses the mobile sector.)

    "Copying Apple is not really 'innovation'" Let's break this down: a.) Well is it? Is copying Apple 'innovation'? I'd say no b.) Did it say that Android is only copying Apple without adding something else? I'd say no c.) Do you say that Android does in no way copy Apple? I assume the answer to c.) is also no, so how is this not a straw man argument?

      Because as I said, I differ in point "b" - I would say it's a "yes".

  Eh? cageface is supporting nodata's position. A straw man argument is used to attack a position.

    Supporting arguments can't be straw man arguments? Where did you read that?

Totally agree that lack of Swype is hurting apple. I really would like a better data entry than the current keyboard and I hope they license Swype on IOS and not try to do it with Siri. On the other hand, has anyone compared playing "Temple Run" on IOS vs Android, the touch response on IOS totally blows away the competition.
