I tend to agree with most of what you are saying. I have a Galaxy Note phone now, and it's a pretty amazing device (much better than the Galaxy and earlier Samsung devices). However it still has it's annoyances, and you can't really use it properly unless you're a geek. Yes, I'm mostly just bitching about iOS 6, it's not really too big a deal. Apple tends to shit on developers with their new releases, giving them a week to work around iOS bugs and get their apps approved. Users generally don't notice any issues because the developers like me bust their asses each time there is a new iOS release (we don't have a fucking choice, because users love their iphones/ipads :) I agree that the ipad/iphone is a much slicker product in general than anything else out there. The Galaxy Note comes close, but is too difficult to set up and use for the average user (by default you can't even copy files to it from your mac, which is a major fuckup). My main gripe is with OSX 10.8. Even after a couple of updates, it still completely hangs about once a week due to a bug - only solution is to hold the power button and force reset. I'm hoping the last update a few days ago will fix it, but we'll see. As for tabbars, there are 3 bugs you need to workaround: - can't click on some tabs on iphone 5 unless you set self.window.frame (https://devforums.apple.com/thread/166444?tstart=0 https://devforums.apple.com/thread/166444?tstart=0) - orientation changes screw everything up unless you set window.rootViewController to the tab bar controller. - your app will crash if it's a landscape only app and you use a portrait-only view controller such as UIImagePickerController.
