@Buzz – Thanks. I changed it. *Blushes.

@MikeFM – Thanks for your comments. A few responses: I actually find the Android UI (particularly all the awesome widgets and the notification bar) much more appealing than iOS. iOS is both polished and dumbed down. On Android, no one is forcing flash on you. It isn’t about forcing you to use flash, it is about giving you the right to choose for yourself what apps go on your hardware. You are right that jailbreaking your iOS device can enable some of these features, that also voids your warranty. Why should I have to void my warranty just to get all the features out of my device?

Google Maps and Google Earth and plenty of free and paid navigation apps for iOS.

Google Voice would be somewhat useful but not horribly. It’s not really any better than available options such as Truephone. No idea why Apple bothers refusing to just accept it other than AT&T frowns on it but again they already allow VoIP so what difference does it make to allow it?

I will raise he’ll the day they put a crappy Flash, AIR, or whatever player on iOS. Those all suck and would just ruin the clean, suckles, experience. I’m pretty pissed that Google didn’t stand up for a non-suck standards compliant way to do the same stuff. HTML5 does 99% of it. Wouldn’t it have been easy enough to sit down and agree on the other 1%? Doh.

Who buys MP3′s? I’d rather Apple just fix their own damn music/video/apps/books store to be non-suck. THAT is the annoying part. That it’s such a great feature for users, developers, and Apple and yet hey let it suck so badly. Adding third party stores would just add confusion for users and fragment the benefit for developers.

You can push just about anything to iOS if you have the proper app. I would like to see it more smoothly integrated. I want to be able to just make a gesture and push my running app onto another device be it a TV, PC, iPad, iPhone, iTouch, or whatever. It should be a completely cloud aware system. Most users aren’t ready for that kind of power yet though.

Really it limits you how? You can do just about anything useful. If you really want to be a hacker then be a hacker for freaksakes and hack the damn thing. You obviously haven’t been coding for long if you think iOS is a hugely restricted system.

I keep wanting to like Android but there are zero Android devices worth owning and the interface remains a cluster fsck and they give manufacturers and carriers to much power to screw up the experience. If they’d put somebody actually in charge of Android then it could probably be pretty sweet. I’d love to see real competition instead of just that it tends to be on cheaper devices and hacker-wannabes whining about how iOS isn’t free.
