Hi Guys,
It has been two
days since I started using my new phone – HTC Explorer.
It has paved way
for me to use Android – Gingerbread (V2.3) in particular.
After having
used my iPod Touch 2G for quite a long time, let me give you a little
amateurish view of iOS vs Android.
Before starting,
let me be clear. My iPod was not updatable beyond iOS 3. Also I have been using
Android for 2 days (not even have I tested lot of parameters). So, if you
people want a very professional review, I request you to read another review
from a tech geek.
The first and
foremost thing was I felt Android to be much user friendly than iOS. In my
iPod, I had to use iTunes for everything. Copying songs, installing games,
applications everything needed iTunes. Without iTunes the instrument was just
useless (particularly when there was no Wi-Fi).
Android offered
me a large space to get applications. I can use internet in lot of ways. It
allows Internet to access from the system directly which offers more scope for
people who don’t have Wi-Fi. I can easily install Apps and delete them at will.
In iOS for deleting apps, you need iTunes. If something is installed in iPod
then nothing can be done.
As far as
Applications are concerned, I think most of the commonly used applications are
developed for both the OS. I’m able to see most of the Apps in both the
Playstore and iStore. So, can’t classify more on Applications.
Transferring of
data is much easy in Android. It allows data to be transferred from phone to
memory card easily. In iPod transferring of data can be one hell of a job,
particularly I have faced big headaches with photo sharing and eventually I
didn’t even have photos.
On the basis of
Ease of Use, I would vote for iPod, though in Android a lot depends on the
phone manufacturer. The look and feel in iPod in itself would make us
comfortable. Everything was obvious with little options in iPod, whereas here I
need to search for things and learning can be a bit difficult.
The look, feel
and touch of iPod were great. But it more of a closed environment where you
needed iTunes for everything, particularly without Wi-Fi things was terrible.
Though, with Wi-Fi, things would have been different. I still remember the awkward
moment when I updated from iOS 2 to iOS 3 and everything was wiped clean. I was
so happy that the iPod didn’t support iOS 4. Though the advantage is that
everything is uniform since all the products are manufactured by Apple and user
interface is same everywhere.
Android is more comfortable.
It is more user-friendly and it allows us to explore easily. Access to internet
through a PC is one good feature. The way it allows to move through Apps and
easy installation and removal of Apps makes it a great gadget. To install many
Apps you need internal memory and it depends on phone and much of the interface
and features will depend on the phone manufacturer. So, it is better to analyze
the phone well before buying.
Happy Reading!!!
