Andorid vs iOS – Fight of the giants



All of us are faced with choices in our daily lives some are small choices and some are grave ones. One grave one that each of us face today is with regard to which mobile handset to pickup – To be a Apple loyalist or to venture in the exciting word of android..

Yes I am serious and the choice is that important. Although there are a number of parameters that make me feel that this comparison itself is not fair as it is almost like comparing apples to oranges but then again if you look around you the choice of Android vs iOS is one of the most talked about topics.
I have taken my own stab at the situation and this is my analysis:

Why should you buy iOS – Apple has been and probably wi8ll be the stalwart when it comes ot quality of construction and ease of use. If Apple has done nothing right they have still been able to integrate the Iphone experience seamlessly into millions of lives. Most of pals whom have an Iphone say that they do not use it because of numerous benefits but simply because they do not see how they can use any other mobile once they have hands their hands on Apple. So iOS is all about the seamless integration and less about fancy features it is for people whom do not have the time or sometimes patience to explore and enjoy sometime with their cell phone !!

Why should you buy Android – I am myself an Android users and would try my best to keep the prejudice towards Android out of this article!! For me Android platform as always been about freedom and the opportunity to make your phone do exciting things without investing a fortune to buy apps as one would need form the Apple appstore. Android is a multitenant OS and is full of fancy and complex options but once you get a taste of the freedom it offers right from Bluetooth file transfers to monitoring and changing your CPU usage after tooting is truly endless. I can see the appeal that iOS has but will never give up my freedom as a cell phone user that I get with Android.
