Android vs Apple: the shoot-out

story imageTwo interesting articles showed up in my RSS feed today, that juxtaposed, make for an interesting discussion. First, Business Insider has provocatively written that Android is definitively the OS for poor people, and iOS for the rich. They've got some data that shows that people of higher income brackets overwhelmingly use iphones, while Android devices are used by the brackets with less disposable income. But at the same time, they've posted a good article showing a list of eight things the iphone can't - and probably will never - do. They include external storage, NFC support, USB connectors, and a couple of others [all one one page, not eight clicks: thank you!]

So is Android destined to be the poor man's iphone, or is it the ecosystem busy pushing the boundaries of technology and function? Because the days of claiming Android is simply catching up to Apple seem to be long behind us.

Case in point -- Apple drones were finally getting around their brainwashing to notice that everyone else in the world had phone screens bigger than a business card, going on 5 years. Now at long last Apple's poised to introduce a decent size screen, maybe, in September. Of course it's got to be made of something expensive though. http://online.wsj.com/articles/new-iphone-a-sapphire-screen-and-a-higher-cost-1408042296

It's really funny to watch. Unfortunately now that the reality distortion field has been buried, Apple's a lot clumsier and more and more of their wealthy drones are waking up to reality. I think the jig is up by the end of the decade...
