Fall of Android?

[Liderc]

First...I don't believe anything that appears on that site, from an editorial perspective...they publish/distribute trash in my opinion. Second, I believe Android is in trouble when Cows Fly and Obama is rated the best President ever.

It's an opinion piece, take your NRA badge off for a second and read it, you might learn something.

The reason I know you didn't read the article:

"Is Android coming to an end? Not at all, but that doesn’t mean that Google has an easy road ahead of them. The reality is that the issues brought up by Business Insider are real (blown out of proportion, but real). Google needs to do better in the tablet space, maintain good developer relations, and continue to support its OEM partners. "

I doubt android will fall. Verizon just did a a thing about android and ios more business use android over ios. So Android is a growing pain for apple but not for us android lovers.

No I agree with what he said. Unfortunately it doesn't mean crap to the reality is that android sells. Only because people don't know what they are buying. People still don't know the difference between android and Droid. Not only is that an issue but the big F is always an issue for me. I hate that Google's android market is flooded with so many devices and over half of them are crap. Why? Because people don't k ow the difference they see android buy and all is well right nope. For the same money they could've gotten an even better android. Lol its all good though I love my razr, wish it were a maxx though. Pun intended.

exactly the point. not everyone can afford an iphone so they look for cheap alternative. i asked my friends what model phone they are using all they said was "android."

Not having read all of the previous posts, but after reading that lame article.... my opinion is...... Woohooo, the nations number one fashion accessory is still up there. Good for IOS, a windows phone is coming and its supposed to be awesome... great. Of the few comments I did read, I agree hole hearted with the competition making every one reach for the stars. Its true in everything, unless a person or company is happy getting passed over for everything. And typically the all mighty buck, prevents companies from being too complacent. But not always..

Remember, Intel has signed an agreement with Moto and a few others. Everyone here has to know that Intel chips will make these phone a lot smarter.

Then you look at Samsung and their new screen patent.

Put those things together and what've you got??? Innovation on the way.... my opinion of course.

There's no telling what's around the corner.

The problem is cheap Androids do more to harm to the Android reputation than iPhone marketing and fan boys do. It's a shame that people don't educate themselves about what they are buying. You would think that before they got stuck with a two year contract they would at least know a little about what they are buying. That's the first piece of advice I give to people who are looking for a smart phone. Not all Androids are created equal. Learn the differences.

I agree about the cheap androids, but in the buyers defense, I think they are hoping that they have a reasonable expectation to a baseline level of quality. But no android is immune to bugs right now, there are radio issue or network issues, but IOS has a history of that too with the last iPhone... antenna wasn't it?? The bionic and nexus are the first two that come to mind for android.

But I know alot of iPhone users that are having issues with their devices, I didn't get into specifics with them but, alot of em are jumping ship. I should've paid closer attention then I might know if these issues were simply buyers remorse.

I would have to disagree. Along with the public not educating themselves it's also the salesman not being honest so they can make a sale. I know that's a stretch but it happens. They aren't going to tell you that the Android that you just bought from Cricket or Metro PCS isn't the same as the Rezound, Razr, or Nexus so they are expecting the same level of performance because they don't know any better. And when the phone doesn't live up to the hype because after all it's an Android people are upset. Then you hear things like Android is a POS, why didn't I get an iPhone and bla, bla, bla. The people in this community and the ones who search us out are the exception not the rule when it comes to this.

I just realized that we are talking about two different things. I'm talking about performance and you're talking about quality. I agree with you on the quality issue.

I think I'm my opinion that talking software iOS / android is like talking Ford and Chevy, that being said I think the reason that people like iOS is because it is so intergrated and the products all work together. Now I'm sure that people can point out to me several instances where this is not the case but overall I think we can all agree they work together. What bothers me about android is that he operating systems are very fragmented or seem to be that way because there are so many manufacturers and they are almost all using different versions from froyo to ics wouldn't it be great if all the phones were on ics? Then they would have to be building phone that had lots of different options such as screens, cameras, and software that made using your phone a rich experience. Instead they sell phones with lots of bugs and hiccups make us wait for software updates that may or may not ever come to fruition is android falling ??? Well don.t get the shovels out yet let's hope that the great things that have been done with android can be continued and the manufacturers can agree on software and make it a rich and rewarding experience for everyone. Thanks for allowing me to stand on the soap box Gator
