Thanks Tim and those that have replied! Your review was most timely and informational for me. My ancient cell phone is about to bite the dust. I was dithering on which direction to go with a new phone. Now I have a clearer picture. Much appreciated.

Great review. Currently use iphone. Its been adequate. However, your info is useful in my decision to go android. I have long been offended by Apple’s arrogance and strategy to milk the consumer with minor upgrades bringing out new models of same product, i.e., the ipad, iphone. Capitalism? Or Greed? I applaud their technology and look forward to their new and unique discoveries. But it is with some glee that other creators are close to pulling the tech rug from beneath their…whatever.

Although I currently use Windows phone. So far iPhone is the best and cant wait to go back to iPhone. Android has performance issue. Not all the set can handle same OS. iPhone has zero performance issue. Windows phone is great, only thing I miss is all the apps. I do need some apps which I dont have in WP.

You forgot one point…price. iPhones are very pricey even for just basics. Android phones are 0-hundreds. Winner:Android. Another point is the cameras. iPhones win that one although Android is getting better. My son had Android, then tried an iPhone for 2 months. Bought Android again was frustrated with iPhone.

Thank u soo much 4 this easy 2 read & understand comparison of iOS & Android! While it seems the answer still leaves wonder abt which is better, it explains the differences & concludes the “best” depends on taste of user, which is all the info I needed as a greenhorn electronic user! Thanks, again, from us totally unaware ppl!

It sounds like flexibility and liberty and freedom are on the side of Android. But is it worth the risk for that freedom and flexibility when so many terrorists or just malicious people (about 5 percent are nuts) want to destroy other people’s property? Perhaps there is greater value in confinement to a closed cult like, but safe group that limits what I may want to do?

Where is windows 8 in this debate? Is windows too late for the market? Or will the cross platform compatibility be worth the wait and still provide a safer but open environment? Will the windows be able to run the old programs I am use too from the past.

Google’s Android has proven to be a quick loading, flexible operating system. Perhaps MS windows died while trying to bring a market alternative that promised more than what Android or IOS could ever offer. Would the apps and programs be cheaper than the current costly windows apps?

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your basic information about both. Which one is better is a million dolor question, and its answer is dependent on the individual whose needs and habits color the judgement.Yet, it appears that both are convenient in their own ways. Android is inexpensive, and so, it is for the mass.
