there are all kinds of customers. android's true strength is that it's not tied to one brand, one manufacturer, one feature-set, and one network.
iphone's multitasking is hobbled. with my G1 i can run mytracks and go jogging, taking calls, photos, and using the web browser along the way. when i get home i get a map of my route with time/elevation/speed data. and that's without any privileged api.
- hackoder 17y agoExactly. This is android's strength. It does everything the iPhone does, but more. It gives devs and users more power, IF NEEDED. If you want, you can build the same user-friendly, no complex-options kinda apps. And if you want, you can build apps to please the geek crowd too. Its the perfect mixture of iPhone and windows mobile.
- netsp 17y agoI'm going to nitpick. Adroid's strategy is that it's not tied to one brand, one manufacturer, one feature-set, and one network. Time will tell if it is a strength. Apple has not launched an Iphone strategy that is the opposite by chance. It is deliberate.
