Contender countdown — Android’s VS Iphone’s!

Paul

Android and iPhone

The email!

iPhone is better.

and

I must add to my last inquire. I have had the htc inspire and did like many features of the phone. But I had an iPhone 3 before I ha bought the inspire. Just knew more about the iPhone then I did the htc. That’s why I like iPhone better. You do have a great site though.

As you can tell I got a very interesting email a couple days ago and I thought I would talk about this.  Most of you know I have an HTC inspire and Love it but I’m sure some of you probably have your own reasons.  I am going to talk about my reasons and some very good points.   

Reason why Android Rule!

If your have ever played on an Iphone you have probably saw how limited you are with the Operating system then how easy the Android Operating System is.   I have heard from people saying that there’s no viruses on Iphones, which is simply not true!  Although, I also know Android’s aren’t immune either but that doesn’t stop at them either.   When there was only one Operating system like Windows, then you had to worry about viruses since the day we started having a Operating System.     You can see the comparison chart that Amazon.com has done over the Iphone, Android, and Windows Phones [Affiliate Link].

Iphones Suck!

You heard me right.   I have never liked the idea of an Iphone and since the Ipad [Affiliate Link] started to come out.   I’m just glad Google Nexus 7 [Affiliate Link] is coming in July!  Even though the biggest fault Apple has had is that when they first started the advertising they boosted about not getting a virus but that turned out to not be true!  Some of the others things I do not like about the Iphone is the Proprietary information that they have over the Software and hardware.  I for one think that an Open Source operating system is much more likely to keep secured than an closed source Operating system.  I know I’m not the only one but it sure beats the idea that you can have security by keeping secrets.

No Operating System is perfect!

That being said for me, it is far easier to operating the Android operating System than it is to navigate and get your App approved by Apple.  You can get your app approved easier on Android than Apple because of their strict rules and regulations.   I’m not saying that it will ever be perfect, from from that idea but it shouldn’t take months to years to get your App on the Apple Marketplace.  Have you ever wondered just how hard it is to actually do that on Apple?  I’m sure it isn’t a easy as you think or for that matter what I think.   

Who Wins?

I’m going to ask you the reader, which one you like and what for.  Don’t tell me the Iphone and not give me any details.  I’m quite curious as to why and your reasons behind that.  You after all may make me change my mind.  If you think you can, then please feel free to comment and let me know.

Rogers Wireless expecting iPhone home for the holidays?

Paul

TUAW has posted up a potentially sweet holiday tidbit with the Canadian Apple store showing an iPhone in its holiday gift guide. Of course, as some clever reader has pointed out, the Italian Apple store is also showing an iPhone with a bit of cut and paste wizardry, could this be a case of just a template mistake on Apple’s part? We know iPhone’s coming to the Great White North — or at least are pretty sure — and the holidays do make sense, but until we hear something official, we’d lean toward error on this one. Check your local site and post back with your findings, make a game of it.

Yep if Rogers is coming out with the IPHONE. I really hope they tell people soon.

Enable Leopard’s Off-By-Default Firewall

Computer security firm publication Heise criticizes Mac OS X Leopard for shipping without its firewall enabled by default like Windows Vista and advises users to turn it on. To do so, in System Preferences’ Security area either block all incoming connections or set explicit exceptions for services that can communicate through the firewall, like file or screen sharing, as shown. (More on that in an upcoming post.)
