Very Interesting article. I especially like the part about Siri not being able to used when it cannot reach an internet signal. Im currently on a business trip with my father and he has the iphone 4s and he repeatedly tried to have Siri call one of his employees while we were on the road. All she did was apoligize that she could not complete the action. All Siri is really good for is a party trick. I would take my android any day over his Iphone.

I agree that siri is just a gimmick. But most consumers love gimmicks, which the article does point out but more specifically how ios is geared towards the tech illiterate

I love reading articles like that. It's funny to talk to die-hard iPhone fans because all they do is say "Well, my phone is still better." They'll take it to the grave that the iPhone is the best phone on the market, but when it comes to people that really matter and look at both products and see where Android succeeds over iOS (Woz), it just makes every iPhone fanboy sound stupid.

I found this article on Steve Wozniak VERY interesting. If you don't know who he is, he is the Co-Founder of Apple. When you think Apple, you first think Steve Jobs, but Wozniak was right there all along. Anyway, when he says he likes his Andriod better then his iPhone, thats one mighty kick into Apples balls!!

The iPhone is an excellent device no doubt about that but it just needs a bigger screen. Once apple upgrades to at least a 4" or 5" screen instead of a 3.5" it will be unstoppable. I love android more of course but I think both os's have their pros and cons. I'd honestly say at this current state they're pretty equally matched even with ice cream sandwich rolling out. iPhone's just work out the box and the battery is amazing it's crazy, android has the killer customization that iPhone doesn't have and I like that too!

I really appreciate him admiring the iPhone's attraction to a more casual crowd.
Yeah they are great phones for the people that need stuff to be simple and straight forward. That's by no means a bad thing. But I like to have the option of complexity if I desire it. The iPhone can only get so complex whereas Android devices can be endlessly complex if modded the right way.
That's just my 2cents.

Completely agree.
I got a new job that came with a company car and an iPhone.
I am very happy about the car, the iphone not so much. I gave the iPhone fare chance (3 weeks) before deciding that I officially hate it. I have decided that I will be keeping my personal line (Evo 3D) and only use the iPhone for business stuff. I really don't see what the obsession is with the iPhone. IMO the iPhone 4s is crap when compared to my Evo 3D. The only thing that I like about it is that it feels like a solid phone, I don't think it could withstand a drop all to well though.
When I went into the apple store to buy a case for my iPhone this weekend the person asked me how long have I owned this iPhone for and I told her about 3 weeks. She then asked me how do I like it and being the honest person that I am I told her that its the biggest pos on the market right now and if I would have spent my own money on it I would have returned it the first day. I don't think that she expected to get an answer like that because she had a look on her face like I just shot her entire family. Needless to say she didn't help me pick out my case.
Question for anyone thats ever been in an apple store, doesnt it feel like you just walked into a cult. These people are like mindless sheep just grazing on the BS that is apple. I don't think I ever want to go back. Well that the end of my book.

No a simple it's not for me would have been fine. It's the biggest pos is overkill. The girl didn't build the phone,design the phone, or is tim cooks sister. She probably makes 10 bucks an hour and has a boss breathing down her neck about being nice to people. It's the same in any store be it a fruit product or an android product, or mcdonalds.

You know he may not have said the actual words or even pos.to the person people do change stories to make them more dramatic even if they don't mean to hell he could have said its junk but put pos to give us a laugh. Also if she's making 10 a he at a iPhone store then I'm doing something wrong being a vet and making 10 a hr. I have worked in a grocery store as well and I understand the customer.thing but I NEVER ever expect someone to say I'm sorry for crap. Why because if they are rude to begin with I know they won't say sorry because people are selfish manors are a thing.of the past sadly for most people.

Only people I recommend iPhone to is those that aren't very tech savy because as long as they can tap icons they can work an iPhone. I can't have a phone with so much user limitations as the iPhone.
I remember one day I was with a few friends having dinner. Total of about 12 phones. 5 of them were androids.. Nobody's android phone looked the same physically and the homescreens were all nice and customized. The iPhone users were about 7 and they all looked the same. Most even had the same wallpaper. Reassured my love for Android.
I have nothing against apple.. It's just not for me.

Lol. When I went to pick out my first smart phone it was between the iPhone 4 and the HTC evo. I had done all the research and it came time to actually go to the store and look at the time. I was honestly going into it with an open mind after putting my apple hatred aside. I looked at the iPhone first and while it did have a very nice design, it just felt so boring. All you have is a background with a bunch of icons laid over it. I told the lady I wasn't impressed and I was thinking about the evo and she goes oh well we will have the HTC aria very soon I think you would like that. I kind of laughed and walked out lol.
Then I went to the sprint store. The evo blew my mind. The screen was HUGE, and I'm a sucker for big screens. Then it had all the widgets and the live wallpaper. And it had a freaking kick stand! I was sold right there.
Since then I've only grown to love android even more and everything you can do with it. My brother bought me the new iPad for my graduation and while the screen is incredible, again goes back to my first thoughts of ios. It's just so bland and boring. Browsing the web is very nice but that's about all I use it for.

The interesting thing this time is that they are actually claiming that Android itself infringes on their patent, and they have already previously won against HTC in court. HTC was able to "work around" the issue to avoid the infringement, but they still technically lost in court and were originally found to be infringing on Apple's patents.
My point is, if they are able to seal a victory against HTC in court again, this time they can use the ruling against other Android manufacturers.. This case could turn out to be a very in important one for Android to win.
They're crying because of the IDC report that is putting Windows Phones ahead of them in worldwide market share by 2016. It's like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum when they get bad news. Might as well go after HTC since they made the modifications last time.

Anytime someone tries to tell you that free-market capitalism leads to monopolies, use Apple as an example against that.
Apple is becoming a monopoly because governments and their courts are allowing them to. These cases should be thrown out of court, but I'm guessing Apple has influential connections and allies.

I agree. I bet the judges have iPhones and ipads and macs. They probably pay them off with free products for life if they find in their favor. Apple could find a way to win as a lot of htc devices still infringe patents such as our rezounds, EVO 3d, shift, just to name a few

I think that most of these things that Apple is stealing from Android has more to do with the Android OS than it does HTC or Sense. So, I would think that Google would have to patent these things, yet can't because they're open source. Is that correct?

So not only are they "stealing" from android but google themselves with their "VIP" mailbox which google put out a couple month's ago for gmail Lmao.

.....one problem with this......HTC would have to be on top of their game and of submitted for a patent on said innovation...
Sad thing is Apple comes out with these things they have patents submitted for ages ago....
Hopefully HTC has something to lock this up....though I doubt it
wow! i just went and looked thru the liveblog briefing and i cant believe all the BS that they feed out and brain wash the masses. i feel so disgusted.
heres a few that i just copied and paste that made me go wtf? r u sirious?
as mentioned about
"Next up is Safari. Safari is the best and most popular web browser on the planet."
"Audience is eating this up. We heard a few "wows" and "Google Maps is screwed" comments."
"iOS 6 with 200 new features added to the world's best mobile operating system."
"It's the best OS X yet."
"OS X Mountain Lion, the ninth major release of the world's best desktop operating system."

At least apple actually releases the OS updates to all of their users without requiring them to jailbreak/root...

When there's only three phones that are almost identical its not hard to keep them updated.

Want more laughs?
This is obvious if you check out XDA's homepage but for those who don't:
Apple Must Publish Notice That Samsung Didn’t Copy iPad In U.K.
Basically, on their UK site, Apple has to post "sorry, Samsung didn't copy the iPad design". I made apple.co.uk my homepage to see when it goes live. Hilarious.

Hm, when Apple does it, we cry about how messed up the industry is, but when HTC does it, all of a sudden, it's okay.
XDA users; prime examples of the word "tool".

Normally, I agree with you. If HTC starts willy-nilly suing Apple over ridiculous things then yeah, they're no better. However this was a counterclaim against a specific lawsuit that Apple filed against HTC. Basically it's a counterclaim for the court to "take back" what they first said. If indeed the article is correct about it being a counter claim, that is.

I don't take issue with what HTC is doing. I just find it hilarious how XDA users find it to be acceptable that HTC is responding with a lawsuit, seeing as a lawsuit started this whole thing.
I note with interest the top post of this page; "i hope Android takes over iOS".
So, we want competition, but we want the competition to be gone. We don't want Apple fighting the battle with lawsuits, we want the battle to be fought with innovation and good ideas, but when HTC fights with lawsuits, we applaud them as though it's some sort of "revenge". We demonize iOS but fail to realize we wouldn't have Android the way it is without Apple.
...
Am I the only one who sees how ridiculous this is? Probably, I tend to get filed away as an Apple fanboy though, you watch, someone will say that about this post.
I suppose in the average XDA user's mind, we're all soldiers in some epic war, and we need to constantly "rattle the troops" as if we're trying to keep up morale against the big bad Apple.
When in reality, you're just some guy that bought an Android device and you happen to like Android enough that you'll root your phone and flash a different ROM.

It is messed up,
It's a reap what you sow thing, Apple is now getting a taste.
You seem to forget most of us here were affected by Apple's ridiculous injunction, mid-purchase. So yeah, when they're getting theirs, don't sue me for smiling about it.
I'm hoping to see some end to it .vs this never ending litigation.
I want to see what will be said/addressed here about this Patent war:

That's great and all. I'm glad that you feel a bit of vengence for a slight delay in getting your device.
You'll just have to excuse me if I don't take you seriously if one minute you're happy about litigation when it's against Apple but the next minute when it's against HTC you're all up in arms about patent litigation.
