The Water Cooler

With I knew. I started with iphone but went android and can't go back

Thanks. I'm the opposite. I had the Droid incredible and I liked it alot... But I'm an apple freak. I did hear the Droid DNA will finally give the iPhone a run for its money. It has 1080 HD!

Just get the 5. The Droids are great for a few months before you start downloading and they slow down and freeze up just like PCs which unfortunately we are all forced To use because of Microsoft office. It's the same type of systems.

Give the iPhone a run? Every android phone is light-years ahead of the apple. The basic Android can run circles around the newest iPhone, Why? Because apple is marketed to hipsters, idiots, and old folks. Therefore, new packaging, but few new features. That is what hipsters, idiots, and old folks buy into.

Here are two quick Google search results:

The market shows it.
"In the “two-horse” race that is smartphone operating systems, the popular, Runs On Nearly Everything Android has long been favored for just that very reason. Unlike its main competitor, Apple’s iOS, Android runs on phones from HTC, LG, Motorola, Samsung and others. It is this vast accessibility which helps drive Android to the top of the charts where sheer numbers are concerned.
Gartner research has released some of these numbers today, revealing that not only are smartphone sales continuing to grow, but Android is still outpacing iOS by leaps and bounds, taking 72% of the smartphone OS market share. Additionally, Apple’s Best Frenemie, Samsung, has now become the global leader in mobile phone sales, taking the number one seat from long-time contender Nokia."

and sales show it
"Citi analysts on Monday issued a note to clients cutting their price target on Apple shares to $575 as industry watchers and investors wonder when we might see Apple’s “next big thing” unveiled, whatever it may be. More importantly, they cut their rating from Buy to Neutral on the belief that heavy iPhone demand cannot continue to carry the stock as it has been. The bank still expects a big holiday quarter but sees Apple’s trimmed orders with suppliers as a troubling sign moving into 2013."

I don't really agree. Corporate use of Apple products is skyrocketing as ipad penetration feed that demand. Its silly to compare Apples market share in smart phones which is by far the worlds largest technology market to all droid phones - Motorola, Samsung, Nokia. Google actually owns Motorola and if Apples market share is indeed slowing down these firms will eventually need to concentrate on each other. Its problematic because GOOG isn't making as much money on the system and Samsung has by far the best product. The Razor, which is what I had, just sucks ass. The market says AAPLis worth twice as much as GOOG even at 520 which is absurdly cheap. The iphone is still the number one smartphone in the world and its still growing (a lot of that is just that the ridiculously enormous market is under penetrated), Samsung is taking share from everybody including AAPL but also other Droid phones as well.
