So I recently decided to make the move from IOS to Android. Some people have made the same move and others have moved to IOS from Android. One thing is for sure, Android is improving greatly and IOS is falling off. For my first post I will tell exactly why I feel this way and hopefully bring anyone who reads this to understand my thought process and agree with me.
Lets start with IOS, which in all respect, is a pretty great OS. There are set limitations by IOS, restricting users from doing almost anything to customize their experience. That is fine for some also, but using the exact same UI for two years, no thanks just kill me. IOS does do some things well like their app store, music player, easy-to-use feel, quick access to almost anything, and that is just a few. Lets be honest before ICS, IOS out performed Android greatly. So this is not an article meant to take anything away from IOS, because in what IOS does, it does it well.
Android on the other hand, in the past, has been horrible. Android has been slow, unreliable, dull, difficult to use, and ugly. That is all before ICS, which is fast, easy to use, fun, and down right sexy. ICS is already out of date and we are looking at 4.2 JB (which in my opinion is only slightly better than ICS) so let us skip over ICS and move on.
4.2 JellyBean, it has a ring to it, a certain roll of the tongue. This OS, ships loaded on the Nexus 4, this is what the android community needed. People look for things with an "Apple Feel", you know the feeling of quality, the feeling of ease, the feeling of speed. That is what, in the past, only Apple had. Not anymore Android brought it this time, and they did a damn good job. Widgets on lock screen, quick setting in the notifications center, and a re-vamped clock (just to state a few), are a step in the right direction. That is just for the OS though. We also have phones coming out for android more powerful than ever expected, I see a shift from IOS to Android in the future.
So we all need to use these OS and decide which one is right for us at this point. IOS feels dated, if you used the 3gs, you have used the 5. Android has changed for the good, with a better setup than ever before in every upgrade they release. The SG3, Nexus 4, Note II, DNA, and Razr Maxx HD those are fresh and new, ready for more attention than the iPhone.
