Is it possible to get bored by Android as people get bored by iOS?

[LIVEFRMNYC]

There's a lot of people on this forum who seem to think that users want to be told what to do, but I think they just want to do whatever they please and those that seem like they want to be told what to do are just people who don't care about their phone enough to try and make it do more.

Android's huge gains in market share speak to this. Only 18.8% of smartphone users around the world put up with the iPhone.

One phone and tablet to have 18% vs the hundreds of Android devices speak volumes.

Apple chooses to have 1 phone and that is part of their selling point. Basically there is a reason why they produce 1 phone so please stop using it as an 'excuse'

An an excuse for what? Facts are Facts. iOS has a very impressive market percentage for being exclusive to iDevices vs Android not being exclusive at all.

It speaks that 82% (The overwhelming majority of people) choose something else.

Cue the pie chart;

an excuse to have a lower percentage of the market share.

And of that 82% that choose something else, what percent of that group uses android's latest and greatest OS version? Then to slice and dice even further how many of that existing 82% can run the upgraded version with their hardware configuration? And of the latest group who really cares that they can't run JB? Prolly not many. But numbers are numbers right?

You can't have it both ways.

Let me remind you of what was quoted;

I responded with;

No matter which way you crunch the figures, my statement was correct, who's fault is it that Apple don't make more lines? Which sorta makes your statement moot.

What is you're point?

Are you also going to calculate how many iphone users will be able to run the alpha version of Siri?

One OS which is exclusive to just one line of phones and tablets having such a majority of market share over any other line of mobile device is moot? Your smoking some powerful stuff if you truly belief that.

an excuse to have a lower percentage of the market share.

An excuse for what? Are you implying that iOS which is exclusive to the iPhone and iPad line should have over 50% of the market over Android which is available over countless of devices?

Your the one making this into a competition. I simply stated that percentage of iOS is impressive.

Ahh, I see what you did, you changed it from Android to line, not very clever. You change the posts to suit yourself.


Now perhaps you will let us know what you are smoking.

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Let me put it to you simply.

You say;



You said that they have 18% here;



How is 18% the majority of market share?

Let me make it even simpler; 18 is smaller than 82 so therefore 82 is the majority.


Ahh, I see what you did, you changed it from Android to line, not very clever. You change the posts to suit yourself when proved wrong.


Now perhaps you will let us know what you are smoking.

What????

I didn't change a damn thing. You just read my posts wrong. You even quoted the same exact things I supposedly changed a couple of posts back.

Just admit you read something wrong.

Here, I put it in bold for you.

Those two statements say exactly the same thing. They are just worded differ in a response to two differ quotes. I really fail to see how the text you bold changes anything. Your reaching for the stars on this one.

If you are saying that my statement is wrong then I suppose Im all out of argument.

I never replied to that statement. You took it upon yourself to throw it in the mix.

But anyways, 82% choose something else. But 18% did not choose one particular line of phone and or tablets besides iPhone/iPad. Nobody can take full credit of that 82%. But Apple can sure take full credit for the 18% which they took with basically two product lines ... iPhone and iPad. Now if that's not impressive then I'm all out of arguement too.

My point is as you knew but don't want to admit is many more android phones will not natively run android's later versions of the base OS. But you bring up an excellent point of one feature older iPhone won't be able to run. Hmm... OS version or feature, yep you got me.

And for the manufactures of the 82%, who is profitable? It's been fun arguing with this fine folks. Point made time for more pressing things like a movie or something.

lol an updated OS version without the extra features, sorry I mean minimal features added. Nice, that is a valid update. If it says ios6 in the settings then it is just that....

 

[Scrub175]

Hallmark movies are so quaint just like your argument. iOS 6 isn't even out yet so to call the minimal features is silly until officially announced. iOS 5 has what I need, just like ICS had the features I wanted in my gnex. What's ur point? Commercials over. Bye.
