Lies, damn lies and statistics. Add to that, the inferences of a iOS fanboy writer and Shazam...Android is too hard for the typical user!
Lets turn that around shall we? Android users are more intelligent than iOS users. Typical holiday purchasers found Android too difficult to learn and instead chose the dumbed down device. The statistics prove it.
FWIW, I don't think anyone's intelligence is based on phone or tablet choice. This article kind of surprises me though. It was typical of apple marketing to put out this drivel over the past couple of years, along with the slew of "we have more apps" bs, but they seemed to have moved away from this type of stuff of late. Guess not!
I think you are right. 5th graders these days can manage easily. But for a 75 year old it is not so obvious. I have my Nexus 7 as first Android device since 3 days and I am struggeling. But I won't give up.i think an average 5th grade student can figure out to use android.
it dont take much... to use android.. effectively.

I really did not anticipate this thread to become another Android vs. iOS discussion. The question that was raised in the article is that 75% of the on-line orders that were issued from mobile devices came from iOS systems whilst they are only 25% of the mobile population - 75% of the mobile population is Android based.
This is an interesting phenomenon indeed and the authors did not really suggest any hard core reason. So it is open to speculation/suggestions.
I think it comes down to one rather simple but key difference between the two platforms.
iOS is easier to use than Android. Or, flipping that around, Android is too hard for the average user to figure out.
But there are some things that could be easier. I just spent 2 hours rooting my brand new Nexus 7 (which is my first Android device). It was a struggle. I wish they had 1 button in Android to do that.
Don't know. Never had such a thing. I compare with Windows 7.So how does that compare with an iPhone?
