[size=13pt]Apple iOS 5 vs Google Android – What Both OSes Have Taught Each Other[/size]



So here we go! The stable release of iOS 5 is coming on October 12, as per the announcement just made and so we begin with our usual Android pilgrimages.

Here we have a checklist to put latest Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 head-to-head with Apple’s latest iOS 5.

1. Notifications slider from the top bar ala Android. | Yes, ala Android. A very trademark Android style. No wonder why Android didn’t have this patented.

2. iMessage for messaging across all iOS devices – BBM much? | Okay, no version of Android has this feature integrated, though it has lots of apps such as WhatsApp, Trillion, LiveProfile etc. iOS 5 wins here.

3. Reminders (location-aware) that will bug you when you’re near a place that you need to do something here | Cool thing. Android lacks. Admitted.

4. Twitter integration. | Well, Android had this for no wonder what period of time. I remember I first tweeted a photo from my Photo gallery when I was on the early build of Android Froyo. Sorry iOS, late on this.

5. Newsstand. Distro much? | A new feature, nevertheless! So now iOS users will read news through an integrated news reader called Newsstand, from periodical sources such as The New York Times, GQ, Allure etc. Don’t know if that is something huge, but atleast it’s something new. Appreciated.

6. Lockscreen shortcut to Camera app | HTC Sense 3.0 already has this. Sorry, you’re late here, Apple.

7. Safari updates. The reading list bookmark feature and the browsing sync between iOS devices | Completely new. Big plus, Apple! The stock Android browser doesn’t have this.

8. PC free iOS updates – wirelessly, without a PC | New! Apple wins here. To some extent ’cause they ain’t the actual first, but only to implement it wholly.

9. iCloud. All your data on the cloud and across all your iOS devices, for free | Dropbox wasn’t enough? Well, alright. Android needs to catch up here. Downloading an app once and then whenever you switch a device, it carries to it along with its data (progress in the case of game app) and daily backup, all sounds great.

10. Find My Friends| Scary shit. Those who agree to share their location with their pals will now let them know where they are, on the map! Too late, Apple! Android has it with the name Google Latitude. Sorry.

11. Cards app integrated in iOS 5. User picks the pic, Apple prints it out for them. | Postagram was always there on Android to do that. Yes, Apple has Hallmark to deliver these cards. Good thing! But wait, you have to pay for it, as Apple says! $2.99 for a card in the US, $4.99 in the rest of the world.

12. Game Center [/b]will now be like a little social network with friend photos and achievement points | Social network… Ping… Shush!

13. [b]iTunes Match | Google Music. Enough said.

A very limited bunch of new features with a lot of copying from Android and one from BlackBerry too, the BBM-killer iMessage. Well that’s what a fanboy’s words would be, but to us, it’s equilibrium. Some good new features, some old ones. And yes, Android still has quite a few things that iOS 5 doesn’t, such as,

I love what u guyz have done here!
Kudos to Nairaland Android community

Please Guys, Can anyone get me the $99 HP TouchPad?

Anyone? Anyone??

Yeah! something the android fans have been waiting for:
i-resign

Its this kind of thing that is making people like Ghadaffi and dat Syrian guy - Bashar al-Assad hold on tenaciously to power.
What they have just done is to shoot the middle east revolution in the foot and effectively hobble the thing!
And that's the reason the revolution is no longer working, ask Assad whether he'd like the Mubarak treatment?
He will continue to massacre the people until they all give up while the west will continue to hold their di.c.ks in their hands, cos they don't want to commit another faux pas since their useless adventure in Libya is failing. 

^ ^na2day? dem dey ask me such question?

Na wao!
Nairalanders are making impacts round the world! lol
Very soon fbi will be snooping round this site

What ICC - u mean d puppet of d west?
When will Blair and Bush be arrested for war crime for declaring war on Iraq based on lies dat Iraq had WMD?
U guyz should learn how to read btw d lines:
NATO d civilian protector bombed and killed civilians on d other side and there was a public outcry.
Few days later, ICC issued an arrest warrant for Ghaddafi & co. to sway public opinion, days later in direct violation of UN resolution 1970, i.e. no arms for both sides, France went ahead to air drop weapons on bendouin tribesmen who will sell d weapons to anyone wit cash (like boko harams) which may also destabilise other African countries.
When this uprising started, i was rooting for the rebels but now i've changed sides seeing the hypocrisy of the west and the cowardice of the rebels. I hope Ghaddafi wins

Just great!
Eventually some of d stuffs will get to Boko Haram!
These people are ready to set d whole Africa on fire all in their hatred for Ghaddafi

We really are in trouble in 9ja!
No wonder the president has become a rubberstamp to all nigerian looters.
His mind so messed up u wonder when he'd grow a brain and a spine.
Shior!

^^^ lol

Don't blame the Goje o!

Ti oloko nla ba ndo iyawo eni, ebe lanbe!
Meaning?
If someone wit a huge p.en1s is phockin ur wife, it'll be in order and very wise to beg him to do it gently cos if it tears, u're d one dat will be left wit a canyon!

Guess who d person wit a big dong is, in this case. lol

Thought d police said he was a foreign looking heavily bearded man

God help people with long beards, especially in the North

Yes!
We are the GIANT OF AFRICA

ALUTA CONTINUA!
VICTORIA ACERTA!

Continue General!
We are still behind you and posterity will vindicate you.

_SMF-BREAK_Can someone please tell me what is 'HTC'?_SMF-BREAK__SMF-BREAK_This topic is as not-so-smart as asking if Sony is better than Samsung. Last I checked, HTC was a company not a phone._SMF-BREAK_

HABA!
Thhe guy is talking about d myriads of HTC branded android phones, i think

All of u complaining of HTC battery problem:
Note dat d problem is basically caused by d HTC Sense overlay, d thing is very heavy, resource and data intensive.
My advice, install a gingerbread stock rom optimised for your device from XDA and u'll be amazed at d new backup time.
GET RID OF HTC SENSE ASAP!

MAY GOD DELIVER US FROM WIVES FROM HELL!
See her size (like Andre the giant) compared to d man!
, and to all of u who helped in pulling d man down, i hope u are satisfied.
Once again, we are seeing d danger of a single story

the new samsung galaxy tabs are both 8.9 and 10.1 inches, he's looking for 7 inches and d old sg tab is d best in d market except he goes for chinko.

^^^ If u can afford it, get Samsung galaxy tab, dats ur best bet

Lexus na wa o!
lol
I no be thief o! never stole anything in my life apart from occasional downloads from torrent sites.
This is sometimes d burden of knowledge, i was just highlighting d possibilities, so dat u'll stop living in false security!
I hope i've not given somebody idea  

^ ^ ^ ? What is difficult there?
if i steal ur phone and its an android, d first thing i will do is to buy a sim, i'll throw away later, wipe d phone and install a custom rom, ur passworded app is bye bye
D only foolproof anti-theft is if d app has a NAND MODIFICATION POWER! i.e. even if i wipe and reinstall d OS, d nand will also reinstall d spyware

^ ^ ^ Chai, i just love this samsung people

Microsoft's lucrative new revenue stream? Android!

The irony's enough to make your head explode: Microsoft makes more money from Android than it does Windows Phone.
This according to Citi analyst Walter Pritchard, who says $5 from the purchase price of every HTC Android handset sold ends up in Microsoft's pockets.
Evidently, the terms of the patent licensing deal Microsoft negotiated with HTC over its Android offerings
last April included some very lucrative royalties.
Which isn't all that surprising. At the time Microsoft went after HTC, sources close to the company claimed the handset vendor's infringement of its IP was very broad, ranging from the user interface to the guts of the OS itself.
Over at Asymco, Horace Dediu figures HTC has shipped roughly 30 million Android handsets, which works out to about $150 million in Android revenues for Microsoft
Interestingly, HTC may have gotten off easy. Pritchard says Microsoft is looking for even higher royalties from the other Android handset manufacturers it's pursuing. "Our understanding is that Microsoft is looking for a $7.50 to $12.50 per unit license to settle alleged infringement of Microsoft patents," he writes

IS THIS A F@#$ SICK JOKE?

@ werepe
Pls, answer dis question!
If u own an ailing company, will u employ a manager wit no track record of excellence where he worked before to put it back in shape?
smh
why do some people just like being d devil's advocate?
You mentioned millions of nigerian voter who had been brainwashed by the sophisticated PDP propaganda machine and who subsequently went out to vote t
eir sentiments, religion and tribal affiliation rather than voting issues.
Thank God, d honeymoon is over!
Eyes are opening, people are waking up from their hypnotic slumber and reality is finally staring us rudely in d face.
The snake oil salesmen are finding it impossible mentioning just one good achievement from our goodluck ridden president!
So, foolish fellow Nigerians, i wish you GOODLUCK in surviving d next 4 years!

Yeah! sure! God sent to punish nigerians!
Foolish people! you've laid ur bed, NOW LIE ON IT!
and Goodluck to u all in surviving the next four years!
