True, i've noticed that with android as well.

Though there is a fair few crappy widgets for iOS as well. The widget on the bottom of my screen i've heavily customized and tweaked and configured myself, put about a days worth of effort into it alone so far.

I too had Android for a few weeks before I switched to the iPhone and I also noticed this.

It's not even that I mind putting work into it by myself, I love manually tweaking my iPhone, just with my G1 and Android I never figured out how to manually tweak anything there.

On the iPhone it's as simple as SSH into the phone and alter the files, when I asked for the Android procedure the only reply I got: "Unpack the ROM, alter it and reflash your phone"

Seriously for an open OS this seems quite a tedious way of editing stuff, why can't I simply access the file system?

I have always said Android is just a cluttered mess. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Galaxy S, but I also loved the cleanliness of iOS so much more.

Ehh, sort of but not necessarily. Android has the Linux style of thinking to an extent, and that's functionality over form, which I do appreciate. However, there are those who make beautiful themes and widgets for Android as well. You just have to spend a little more time getting things set up. That's the issue with customizability. You may be able to change your theme in every detail, but you may have to do a little more work for it. I've seen some amazing looking Android themes, but I myself haven't done anything too incredible.

iOS is very nice and simplistic though. I love iOS and the iPhone, I just wanted to have more to play with (like the kernel development work I've done), so I moved to Android. I'm certainly not disappointed one bit, but I do miss my iPhone 4 at times.

LOL I do, but for whatever reason I like these ones and I thought I would switch it up for a bit :p. It will probably only last a week and then I'll go back to my Oxygen theme though :rofl:.

OS: CyanogenMod 6.1-Nightly (Latest build: 209)

Not so sure I like the wallpaper, and I need to fix my Facebook icon since I ditched the app and went to just a bookmark to touch.facebook.com until Google or Facebook improves the app, as it sucks.

So I decided to change mine up a little bit. Seen this over at XDA. I am not really a "red" person, but I thought it looked fantastic and "different" for me

I wish I could get this as a theme for my iPhone 4.

I loved the grunge style icons being used over at XDA so this'll be my new desktop for a while :) The circular icon near the bottom in the centre is a modded version of LockScreenWidget if anyone wants it.
