He said "it works better", which I took to mean as for his own personal use. And I'm sorry, but there's nothing wrong with thinking one product is better than another.

Yes, it's subjective. That's sort of the point.

The only problem is when people try to pound their own views onto others.
 
in this way of thinkin we could say Windows user are sheeps too
so Linux are
to each their own isn't it?
i've tried several "kind" of smartphones... (and what i heard of others around me... they RMA'd their phones 2-3 times before having something reliable)
"my opinion" nothing better than a dumbphone ( a real cell phone i mean :) )
--------
doesn't crash without any reason, the only reason i upgraded honnestly was the lack of support for vista/7 for my old k790a wich is now kinda fixed with the new pc companion version...
smartphone aren't smart at all... they still need users to work properly lol...
 
i thought it was funny and well done ... enjoyed it for what it was.

dont you hate it when some one tells a great joke.. and someone will ask or state information about why it will not work in real life? ruins the fun.
duh.. it was a joke.
 
I had an ipod touch and it was fun to use but when I got my droid I didnt feel like carrying both. So I gave my touch to my son. I will buy an Imac one day just to see what its all about and say yeah I owned one and can decide if I liked it or not. I will try anything once. (But gay sex lol.)
 
somebody just entered the 'no fly zone'

i do agree that Apple products are well made, but that doesnt stop me from ever getting anything apple.

i've lived the rich life when i was young, now that i'm old and a peasant, i care not for the finer things in life. i enjoy researching cheap stuff! makes it more fun TO ME.

:)

(disregard my phone choice and carrier)
 
Sheeple are everywhere. At the rate Android is growing I'd say far more people are buying up Android devices simply because they think they are 'cool', not because they've tried all the options out there and deciced it's the best one to fit their needs. For the vast majority of people out there, a Blackberry will more than serve all of their needs just fine. So will an iPhone. Or a WinMobile device. Or an Android.

So it's pointless calling iPhone users sheeple when 95% of all smartphone users are sheeple period. Even before I ever played with an Android device I remember thinking those Motorola Droid commercials were kick ass. Gave me an over all 'cool' image of those phones. But I had been with BB for years and had no plans on switching over. Finally curiosity got the best of me and I found it irresistable once I got my paws on one. The same could have happened had I gotten my mits on an iPhone before I played with a Droid. I might have the i4 in my hand right now instead of my DX.

And if that were the case, I'm quite confident in saying that I'd probably be more than happy with it, and wondering why everyone else on my website was laughing at all the Android users and their silly 'Droid Does' commercials. Who cares if they like their Droids, if it works for them, let em have fun with em. Doesn't mean they're all robots who bought their phone after seeing that Motorola commercial.

Which is exactly how I feel about iPhone/WinMobile/Blackberry users. Don't hate, congratulate.

I'd say this applies more to Android than any other smartphone OS. How many low end/entry level devices are out there running Android? How many times have I seen/heard "just got a new 'droid'"...."which 'droid'?" I'd ask....I dunno, a droid!. And it ends up being an Incredible (or whatever, not the point). I blame part of this on the (IMO) terrrrible decision from Motorola to call the "Droid" what they did.

Or my cousins who just got LG Optimus' on virgin mobile. No idea that it ran Android, or even what Android is. They just wanted cheap "smartphones" on a cheap plan.

And I'd greatly disagree with the comment "no 2 are the same". MOST people DON'T root....DON'T get different launchers (is this even an option on the lower end phones?). And if you consider "different" having different wallpapers and different apps and different arrangement of apps...then you can say the exact same thing about iPhones..no 2 look the same. Those that care about all the customizations and rooting etc etc, are in the minority. I do wish iOS would allow me to put icons wherever I wanted; ie having empty space in between apps--instead of making new apps drop in at the end of the line and only letting me rearrange them.

LOL . . . it seems to me that you are doing the same thing you are objecting to. Perhaps you should say Apple works better for you rather than simply declare Apple is a better computer.

Millions of Windows users have few complaints; many Apple users likely have problems as well.

Agreed. Sheeple are sheeple no matter what platform they use.

And I think some may have missed the point of that video, which was that Android is very close in providing the same sort of apps and experiences as iOS, with a few differences that may or may not be important.

As always, to each their own.

Interesting that we complain about Apple users being Sheeple, yet here we are, trying to convince the planet that Android is superior to Apple.

I've never experienced any Apple laptop working better than a laptop from any other vendor unless it was using tools specifically created for it. In cases where the functionality exists on another platform and you still insist that you want a macbook because you need it, not because you want it, you come off as a stupid person who likes to waste money and can't think for themselves.

I don't really care either way but it is annoying to get a user who pretends to be technical but demands certain products because they don't know any better. I really just despise those who come to a PC vendor and start demanding a Mac/linux/commodor 64 version of your PC product because, damn it that is what they have and everyone else should, too.

If I could have a Macbook Pro for the same price of a good 3d capable PC laptop (and with the same amount of RAM,) I'd take it.

Well, talk about beating your head against a wall. I don't try to convince anyone that my equipment is better. I use it because it is better and let people do what they do. I got mine. :-)

But when a clearly clueless prospective owner comes here, all they know is Android is better than Apple. Or, they go to a iPhone forum and they hear the opposite.

Simple fact is, if they like the iPhone and it works for them, that is all that matters. There are sheeple and fanboys on both sides. Apple clearly makes great products as do the makers of Android phones.

Well the commercials are true. I don't have an iPod on my phone or iTunes. They aren't lying. They don't have Amazon MP3 on their phones, or tunewiki, or winamp... :)

That was actually Verizon's doing. They licensed the name from Lucas which is why the droid name is also attached to the HTC Droid Incredible and the upcoming Samsung Droid Charge. It's why you won't see any "Droids" on any other carrier. I don't know if I'd say it was actually a bad decision either considering Verizon's Droid marketing blitz is really something that pushed Android to the masses. The reason everyone thinks Android phones are all called Droids is because of them, and without it Android may not be as big as it actually is today. The Droid Does campaign benefited all of us in the long run I'm sure.

That's your opinion alright. I'm sure Moto feels differently though. While I agree that 'Droid' has caused mass confusion in the smartphone world, Motorola has successfully created one of the most recognized brands on the planet.

So from where they're sitting anyway, this wasn't such a bad idea.

So here is the question: if true, does that really matter much? I have not looked for WinAmp for the iThingy. We (I am both an Android user and iPad user) have lots of choices for music players.

I find it odd that some folks bemoan a particular phone or device because a particular program is not available and completely forgetting that there are many alternatives that work just as well.

So I am asking, what does it really matter?

I do like WinAmp on my phone, however.

This is the only aspect where I feel it was a terrible idea. It's annoying having someone say "I have a 'Droid'" when they mean Incredible or Evo, et al.
