I'd say prices. I mean I'm picking up a Nexus S for £250, it was a competitor to the iPhone 4 and had similar specs. Try even getting an iPhone 4 (Even used) for that price...

Though iOS has it's better apps, (I actually hate the android market, so cluttered and device management is terrible). Plus iOS at least updates most of it's devices at the same time, not taking months to roll out to about 10 handsets.

I haven't experiences iPhones or Windows Phones as yet.

For me, Android has what I want. I am only limited at the moment due to memory constraints. For me, the iPhone is a polished, finished product. It's actually attractive with the strict guidelines with apps and if you have an iPod, and the whole iTunes suite then I'd say it's worth it, very much so, hell, even I'd buy one.

But I don't have an iPod, iTunes or anything, therefore Android suits me for all what I want and need.

As rabid an Android fan as I am, I have to admit that if Android suddenly vanished, I'd run an iPhone again without thinking twice. :D

I agree. While Android suits my needs (I like to tweak things, and it's easy enough with Android), but having the opportunity to play with a first-gen iPod Touch even before the iPhone was released is what got me to finally consider giving smartphones a chance.

The last iPhone I had the chance to really play around with was the 3G, but I don't think I'd be too upset if I had to "settle' for iPhone 4S if Android didn't exist considering the other options. I wouldn't mind a WP7, either. I'm pretty happy with the available options.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
