This is stupid. There are more companies making android phones vs. ONE iOS maker. Of course Android is Crushing the Competition” Why don’t you compare iphone 5 vs one specific android phone like nexus or something. And before you nerds think I’m a apple fan boy I’m not I have use both platforms for different needs.

But it also means that a lot of naive iPhone users are getting themselves stuck on 2-year contracts with 3G service, lmao.

But at least we can count on those people being bitter when the next iPhone comes out. The iPhone 5S. Looks like “55″. Designed for senior citizens, 55 and older.

My Thunderbolt has been a tank, and has survived a lot as its exterior shows. It was a great phone for those who rooted it and had a fast, stable GB ROM on it. I dropped it so many times on concrete and from various heights and the screen never once broke. Eventually the vol+ just went bad and wouldnt work, forcing me to use a widget to adjust the vol, but other than that, and a rocky start for the first 3 months, it’s been solid for me.

I’d love to see a breakdown of Android’s sales by OEM.

Willing to bet a massive portion is Samsung. Couldn’t possibly be HTCrap lol

That is the ONLY reason I am still on Verizon, as it stands, I pay 30 a month for unlimited 4G. As soon as VZW tries to wrench that away from me, I’ll drop them like a rock.

Do you know of any patterns? I just started knitting and might be willing to teach myself how to crochet for this. The few I found online don’t look as nice as the one in the photo.

Countries like India and china with half the world’s population is using Android the most and because of the cost, lower/ middle class in those countries can’t afford iphones. iphone caters to status like symbols even being stagnant in innovation now. Can’t wat to see it drop to 15% by the end of 2013

It’s impressive, but the way of how the Android ecosystem operates worry me. Let’s go back to the days when Microsoft owned over 90% of the OS market and see what problem it had — it’s getting harder and harder to convince people to update. And we know that Microsoft can push updates at will. Look back to Android, the only phones that Google can push updates directly is the Nexus. As more and more people become Android users, I can’t imagine how Google can push important updates such as bug fixes to the users. Put it simply, they can’t, in most cases. And, some phones will never see the bug fixes. Because of that, I simply can’t recommend mid-tier phones, or small OEM phones to people — those phones are least likely to be updated timely.

There’s still so many stubborn Apple people out there, though. … http://www.Makecash83dollareveryhouronthelabtop.qr.net/j6Yk/sAqlknrt4=AhtC3?f4W3k
