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!!

Good read, the author was good in refrencing to Woz's honest opion's of the two devices.
It's good to see an unbiased article like that one. Everywhere you see now there is always a bias towards the iPhone. The iPhone is not a bad device, but it is too locked down for my tastes...

EXACTLY! people that usually write this stuff make iPhone seem like God, and everything else is crap!

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.

Would be curious to see some links on this.....most of the searches I see for the TFP are much more then $150.00.....you must be smoking something....
To the OP.....pretty trollish question really........
As for the question....I cant stand icrap.....and I use it every day for testing at my real job.
Not me. I am a pretty big apple hater but my wife on the other hand is on the 'you can't get better than Apple bandwagon'. She has been wanting an iPad for a while now, so as much as I hate it we may just get an iPad2 after they go down in price when the iPad3 comes out.

I won't be selling the Prime for an iPad 3, however I might be tempted to sell it for a TF700. Most likely though if I do get a TF700, the Prime will be given to my girlfriend as I am trying to indoctrinate here into Android (already got her a GS2 )

You're asking this...on an Android forum. Seriously, what kind of answers did you expect?
Get the iPad if you want easy to use. I mean real easy to use. If you want to do something and can't, you probably can't. Android, you could find a way, but you'd need to look. I found that Apple is better for people who can single task while Android is better for people who multitask. Doing more than one thing at a time. The iPad 3 will only have better resolution, camera, and maybe a little faster. The Prime is already better (besides resolution) and does so much more. But, you need to learn it. If you dont want to spend time on technology, get the iPad. But once you start going down the easy path, it's hard to get out. I have an iPad for work (my boss bought me one) and it's very boring already. The first day I learned everything I could. Android I learn new things almost everyday. And its been almost 2 years since I've been playing with Android
If you want to do something and can't, you probably can't. Android, you could find a way, but you'd need to look.

Exactly..
I've got an iPad 2, as does my wife. It's perfect for her, but I hate how limiting it is.. I wouldn't ever go back to an iOS device. If I can't even get access to the underlying file system, it's just not going to work for me, I don't care what the specs are.
While I'm sure the ipad 3 will be a great hardware device ios is simply for those users who can live in a very weak and limited multi tasking world. For me its about Android more than the hardware when it comes to the tablet platform.

If you ever noticed, women are always the ones who prefer Apple products. I think most women aren't very tech savvy, so they go with a more popular brand, thinking it must be good because people camp out for their crappy products.

I def want to check out that display. I certainly am not a fan of iOS in general, but a display like that, and being able to view content in 1080p should be amazing.
i have a prime and an ipad2. being the gadget geekaholic that i am-- i will most certainly pick up the ipad3..but it will probably end up like my ipad2...stuck in the closet collecting dust.

If it had decent specs, I'd definitely buy it.
What if HTC got a contract with him to manufacture it, then added their own goodies, then I guarantee it'd fly off the shelves.

as far a history shows that a niche market is far different from the power user market.
Never seen a top of the line phone initial release in say.. pink
not to mention if the video states that it will no be available next year and it will be using current MAIN STREAM technology ... So I would be thinking dual core 1.2 Ghz. that is unless a major hardware manufacture picks it up. I would be interested to see the outcome, but count me out.

They don't care about "winning" us over... they just want to be the only one's in the game so we don't have a choice. They want it to be i*hone or nothing. Personally I switch to ham before I'll use an i*hone.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I agree.
With this type of bulls... going on, I'll never buy any of their products again. They've actually gotten worse over the last few years in multiple ways - the patent wars are just one aspect. They've been alienating long time users by dumbing down not only their computer OS, but other products. In the past you could get several years additional use out of a their products vs competitors, but now they're making them un-upgradeable.
It even goes beyond the militant behaviour like this with the Galaxy Nexus, even to the point of being totally petty. I tried selling a Asus Netbook with their OS installed on eBay, just to see if the police stories were true - they had the listing removed in less than 24 hours. :angel:
They're making MS look cool.
Well...
Apple is doing it because they know that in the long run they will be outdone by both the Android software and hardware, in my opinion that has already happened but they know that eventually all the Apple fan boys and girls will realize this and jump ship so rather than stay ahead of the curve they avoid the curve all together by playing these games.

They use to have a some good business strategies and were a respectable company. Now they have resorted to hide behind laws instead of operating out in the open. Plus why sue Samsung or even get them involved? Don't they make Apple's processors? Sounds like Apple bought Lucy Koh. Apple should be sued for not being innovative and for being a bad sport. So they might be losing in the mobile races, wow big shocker with the same phone being released year after year, but home computers are still way to stay in the game. I for one think this move will result in negative PR for Apple and hurt sales in the long run. A company can't operate like cowards and no one notice.

I've wanted to try Windows Phone for a while now, but I can't bring myself to get locked into a two year contract with a phone I'm not sure I'll enjoy. WP8 looks like it's going to be good, but I've heard that no phones that are out now will get the update. Plus Sprint only has the HTC Arrive which is pretty old.
But if they could get a WP to run Android.. I'd be all over that. Especially one of those Nokia Lumia's.
