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.

Hey folks, please stop downvoting every post you disagree with. It's so childish and makes the registered users of Pipedot seem like the ones who are trolls. (This is significant only because it makes the posts invisible to other registered users.) Half the posts in this thread have been downvoted, even though there was nothing untoward about them.

Try responding to people instead of knocking them on the head.
