Gripes about UI/UX of Android phones/tablets and so called "openness" that is nonsense to consumers.

If you also have an Android phone, you are welcome to email me your gripes as well. If you don't but you want to buy one, read this blog before you do it. :-)

-- A big fan of Google, not Android

    An Android fan switched to iPhone 4 because it works better →

    ap3604, who doesn’t like Android Gripes, explains why he/she switched to iPhone 4 from Android:

    As far as the look of the operating system I would have to say that stock Android is nicer than iOS.

    Main reasons I ended up switching to the iPhone 4 was due to:
    1. HID bluetooth keyboard support built into the OS.
    2. Netflix app that streams video.
    3. Navigon GPS app for iOS that I actually prefer over Google Maps Navigation (doesn’t need data, lane assist, turns down music instead of just pausing it). I tried out the Android version of the app and it seemed really half-assed like how it would talk over the music playing instead of trying to pause it or turn it down so you couldn’t hear what it was telling you.
    4. Better resale value when selling it on Craigslist. Usually the top android phone gets replaced by something better within 3 - 6 months and the resale value goes down accordingly. With the iPhone there are always tons of sheep wanting to buy yours and its guaranteed to stay at the top of the food chain for an entire year.

    Two take-away points: (1) he/she prefers Android as an operating system (who cares?); (2) he/she ended up using iPhone because iPhone is better.

    Good choice!
