Apple vs Mango: Lock Screen, UI Design, Multitasking, App Stores, Music Player, and Browser

[wiratamaradiance]

Woww this is really good Preview... i never disappoint with pocketnow preview, always fair enough.

Mango the best

[MrFako100]

Mango is juicy than apple..

[tranceplante]

I have a Windows Phone and I really enjoy it, but it does need a little bit more apps. It doesn'T even have skype. It's coming, but still... missing a lot.

[mruppel2]

@tranceplante Skype is coming for Windows Phone, with exclusive features and metro-UI.

[mahmut123456]

iOS is still the better choice, because it has more useful apps, that's a truth.

BUT

I own a Lumia 800 and everytime I turn it on it looks so personal with all that pinned tiles and pictures and stuff. It's really beautiful.

I miss 2 3 apps and a few functions, than it would be the best mobile OS for me.

[SpadeAce90]

WP>iOS

just saying, it is the fastest, smoothest, snappiest and light weight OS compared to iOS

granted it still doesn't has as much apps as iOS but WP has accomplished more in less than a year compared to iOS' years and years of little accomplishment

[xboxnissan]

2k of e-mails? really?

[JAC653]

if you notice at the top of ios, the loading sign is still going even if the address bar is gone..so it is not faster, you just got tricked...

[JAC653]

You do not know anything about Windows Phone do you?

[timmyyong91]

I just came to see the haters.

[HOLLAUISSIERRE]

maybe ms could let grouping of apps instead of a long list?

[SkywardDragonKing]

@HOLLAUISSIERRE You can search or jump to apps that start with a certain letter.

[rolan2dr]

I switched from an HTC sensation to a dell venue pro and I love windows phone!!

[TheDrsebbe]

01:08 "This is a state officials go back to the lobster creek"

[mibe]

iOS looks so boring and old fashioned compared to Mango. Like night and day.

[rdknght17]

wp has the best lock screen

[akocern03]

@rdknght17 I think HTC sense's lock screen is better. You can customize it in many different ways

[francomur99]

Hi, many things my friend, first of all the parallel platform Cydia is complete and professional, the all ecosystem is 3 year ahead......even android has many different kind of devices it cannot be like an iPhone jailbreak, Just with Winterboard, Backboard and Dreamboard I can have my device turn it as a Galaxy S2 or and HTc Sensation or if you want as a Blackberry or Windows phone 7....

[akocern03]

@francomur99 You don't even have to root an Android phone just to do those kind of things. And some popular Cydia apps are expensive.

[triniface101]

Windows phone is going to be big this year

[johnsmith234543]

Impressive

[ZivaucaPMO]

Windows is - faster and nicer + the design is original and it's simpe to use. Good competitor. My next phone is Windows phone.

[kc3vv]

@ZivaucaPMO yes but for developers the native c++ code support is missing i have one 2 i hope they patch this soon so there can be other apps like mumble and teamspeak or other apps where u have to spend to much work to get it 2 windowsphone

[Droid5767]

i just got a Samsung Omnia 7, I REALLY REALLY love Windows phone 7 mango

[francomur99]

I tried all the best high end smartphones on the planet.....the iPhone 4 with jailbreak still the best on the market. We are waiting to iPhone 4S to get the JB, then everyone will be completely smashed!!...The things I do with my iPhone 4 with JB I cannot even do with the best Android or Windows phone7.5 Mango...... So!! before you speak you have to try and have the direct experience....SIMPLE!!

[djagoegei18]

@francomur99 LOL and what can you do that I can't do with my android device?

[MrMurder96]

@francomur99 the point there being you need to hack it to make it useful.. and on windows phone and android, you don't have to do that.

[MrMurder96]

@francomur99 btw ever tried a rooted android phone?

[thalvadzhiev]

@francomur99 What are the things you can do with a jailbroken iPhone that you cannot do with an Android phone? Please give an example.

[reefatoka]

Just loaded ice cream rom on my Samsung galaxy its easily the best phone ever..best os no doubt

[justforexperience]

Y U NOT COMPARE WITH ANDROID?

[NateTheApe]

God the iPhone sounds like its breaking everytime you set it down...decided to try a Windows Phone 7, the HTC Trophy. Just going to see if I like it better than my current iPhone 4.

[Horton094]

Apple fanboy is quite impressed by Mango.

[LegendaryRemixes]

Windows Phone is awesome

[beansemo]

HTC Radar is a good phone!

[Ladylambert345]

@beansemo i totally agree, got one as a gift for christmas. Wouldnt dare trade it for an iphone. Windows should be on top.

[padikul]

Its funny the way he fight against blank screens ... hehe

[iheyizz7059]

zune kills itunes. wp7 mango buries apple 6 ft underneath the ground

[CarbonDioxide1990]

ios is now ancient no interface change since its launch I am bored with it give me something new or I am going windows apple

[96515325]

@CarbonDioxide1990 Apple probably won't change the interface. But or well, I like to have a variety of devices.

[TEAMGREYCSS]

WTF HANNAH MONTANA ? WTF ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

[victorteles95]

"Every app has an icon, every icon has an app" YOU DON'T SAY??

[ProEdgepntballer01]

holy....u need to check your mail

[KLGB500]

I've had both phones and personally i like the windows phone better.

[mogonji]

@KLGB500 good choice. windows phones run so much more smoother than the iphone

[KLGB500]

@mogonji Yes! oh most definitely.

[bartltt456]

Just want to say that, both the power and the home button can bring out the lock screen!

[CometLol]

Jailbroken iPhone 4S destroys any phone on the market

[xHoTPotAtOex]

@CometLol lol fanboy, you can 'jailbreak' any phone

[ebsanu]

Aight i get it...WP is good too. Now I just want a better looking phone. That samsung just isn't my cup of tea. Get on it Nokia!

[cKlutcHJ21]

@ebsanu I think that the two new HTC phones are awesome looking. Samsung isn't my style either, they feel so light and cheap.

[SubSoIe]

thumbs up if you saw the "apple vs. mango" tile on the windows phone near 4:20

[kendy4]

For all those people saying it's a biased review, look up your specs, the ipod 4 gen has the same clocking speed of the iphone 4 , samsung focus also has a 1ghz processor. The more you learn the better huh ?!!

[ery12ajuzzzz]

Windows phone 7 is awesum OS, its much better than old and boring iOS interface, i have no idea why windows phone failed in the smartphone market

[CaesarThaApeGod]

@ery12ajuzzzz I agree WP7 is much better than iOS but the main reason for it's low market share is because it takes time for people to gain interest in it. NOBODY liked Android when it first came out, it took a year and a half for it to get HOT.

[cKlutcHJ21]

@CaesarThaApeGod Haha, Android was ugly as hell when it started out. I bought one when it got to cupcake.

[96515325]

@cKlutcHJ21 I bought one at alpha.

[whitefangex]

"beta"... yet ios5 is too buggy... nice one

[celticgibson]

Speed tests with a iPod against a Phone? Not a fair test...

[jurassic512]

shitty fuckin review. this guys voice and hands are too awkward to listen to and watch.

[deyvit25]

Windows Phone!!!!!! xD

[mikesmith007x]

2,788 emails??? Good god, stop playing with phones and get back to work!

[mook2u]

whats up with the fruity theme? get it? apple and mango? I crack myself up.

[gust3r3u1]

i liked the review,more software reviews ftw,maybe jailbreak vs rooted

[grandbross]

i can't stand watching this guy for more than 2 minutes..he is too annoying

[dandslash]

I hear that apple fans are ready to die for Apple!!

[EstienneTaylor]

@dandslash They'll do anything for a bitten fruit.

[dandslash]

@EstienneTaylor Haha Good One!

[LegendaryRemixes]

Wow it seems like a lot of Iphone fanboys cant accept the fact that Windows Phone beat the pants off Iphone lol.

[russoue]

@LegendaryRemixes I don't know if Windows Phone actually beats iPhone. But I won't be surprised to know that to be true. After all, they got 3.5 years to make this product after iPhone first came out. It is only expected from a company sitting on a boat load of cash and having a lot of highly skilled workers to produce something better than a 3.5 years old design. The real question is what were they doing before?

[MyCameron123456]

ipod vs phone ? not cool

[EstienneTaylor]

@MyCameron123456 I don't think he's comparing phones just ease of use and basic features from both OSes.

[TemporalCrusher]

GIVE BACK BRANDON MINIMAN!

[evilhomer450]

this might be the worst review in history, fired this retard

[Deadked2011]

у винды очень долгий браузер и это не удивительно эксплорер он везде тупит:)

[MrMurder96]

@xXxjas0nxXx so your only problem is basicly developers? Thats them. WP has nothing to do with their problems if they dont wanna make apps for it or fix their apps for it.

[jjcraig999]

Oh and this is a terrible review, you don't pay this guy do you?

[pote2639conan]

0:53 I see porn on your WP7 :p

[aniyah247]

Windows Phone for the WIN.

[Twicci]

iPod emails = IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bxbbrian]

Wow windows Phone blew iphone away

[Fritzie345]

@bxbbrian It's an ipod not an iphone.

[bxbbrian]

@Fritzie345 its basically the same thing with the exception making calls and a couple other minor things. The UI is the same.

[TwistedSommer]

facepalming everytime you use the top button on iPod

[MrMurder96]

@TwistedSommer thats what i was thinking

[NoNiceNamesLeft]

"we decided not to use ios5 because it's too buggy, This is mango BETA"

...what?

[MrMurder96]

@NoNiceNamesLeft You will learn after a while that Adam is just a terrible reviewer.. i did, i thought this was a review by Brandon or Daniel :/

[jjcraig999]

@NoNiceNamesLeft Exactly! This is a stupid review.

[xXxjAs0nxXx]

im amicrosoft fanboy ill admit, but windows phone isnt perfect for example the facebook app on iphone/ipod is much better than the WP one and in general the apps that apple have are better.. so fix that and windows ftw!

[vgking699]

and that FishIE tank test wasn't fair either because thats the desktop version thats running at higher resolution than even an iphone 4/4S has and thats why the plant life in the fish tank isn't shown all at once and also why its runs slower, microsoft actually released a newer mobile version of that fish test thats runs about 50fps on ios5

[vgking699]

you can't do a fair ios performance comparison with a ipod touch, you must use a iphone 4 or 4S cuz they have twice the RAM as the 4th gen ipod touch and even faster cpus

[samcockram123]

I think that the other Windows phones look sleeker than the Samung Focus

[samuel210386]

Safari x IE

Both shit anyway......

[ondalau]

Windows Phone wins in functionality. But I kind of liking iPhone overall design, more colorful and somewhat tidier. WP7 has too much text for menu, as you can see in email & calendar apps. In the end, it depends on your preferences.

[FuckingMirrors]

TL;DW

Apple wins.

[aniyah247]

@FuckingMirrors Even stevie Wonder can see WINDOWS PHONE WON.

[xcoiote]

157 applefags

[tonycaravana]

First of all, Windows phone 7.5 Design is much prettier than IOS interface. The interface is lightweight, fatest, and easier to use too. I love the Metro UI.

Microsoft Have own services available and integrated too: Zune, X-Box Live, Windows Live, Office (Word ,Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook) and Internet Explorer and your Bing search Engine and Location Service. Have native integration with another services like Facebook, Twitter, etc. At all, the Hubs division is so smart.

[Danielthomasrichie]

@tonycaravana *You love - it's all you're opinion. Personally I think that the Apple gui is nicer and it's intergration with itunes/icloud is much better.

[tonycaravana]

@Danielthomasrichie So, it's all you're opinion too. About itunes i know and is so nice. Besides the microsoft marketplace & zune integration is so nice too. And about icloud, microsoft have freee skydrive service on cloud. Office, zune and many services is completly integrated to Skydrive. Last month I was on NOSQL & Cloud Computing conferency and noticed that MS Azure Cloud S.O. is at now the fatest and easiest and more integrated server existent for now. So, we can expect a nice battle.

[tonycaravana]

@danielthomasrichie I think iphone is very very good, easy-to-use, stable, mature, have thousand programs and have what was a fantastic and inovative design (The external apearence is really pretty).

However, Personally i think the microsoft created a really funtional new interface concept. Metro UI Tiles Interface allow a really fast navigation. You can check how fast at this video. Starting the S.O. is considerely fastest than Iphone. This is explained by Model-View-ViewModel pattern.

[ultramobile1]

u talking like an apple fanboy hehehe ..fanboy

[yourilohuis]

@psiddhant

You must update to mango. :)

[psiddhant]

@yourilohuis .. ya i did .. 7.5 windows phone is totally a SUPERB.

[yourilohuis]

@psiddhant

Glad to hear that... my Samsung Omnia 7 will come in three weeks. Can't wait to use it :)

[HenrySu35]

its obviously an iOS 5, looke at the Music icon and video icon

[anthyman1]

1. Mangoes are sweeter than apples. End.

2. YOU TAKE SO DAMN LONG TO DO ANYTHING THAT I STOPPED LESS THAN HALFWAY IN! Consider that constructive criticism.

[DerekDeSouzaa]

Windows Phone has the best lock screen with good wallpaper capability !! It lets the user choose the desired pic and view it fully and not have slightly transparent tabs on top or anything or saying "slide to unlock"

and it gives you all the information you need on the lock screen !! like texts,reminders,email,calender­,reminders,calls,alarm,timer

[Yippykaiyay]

2,788 emails. someone signed up for too many p0rn sites

[johnmatthewfelix]

this review is really bias. I know the guy praised iOS when it wins obviously, but still..

[raystinks1]

@johnmatthewfelix

because less people know about wp7 so he needs to take more time with it, compared with the iphone which everyone knows about

[sudhar1998]

why the hell people give name of their os in eatables llike

ios(apple)

android(ice cream sandwhich)

windows(mango)

[JOKBO1]

@sudhar1998 i thought about it too, they should answer that.

[alecmets2011]

00:54 bottom tile on the focus. wtf!?!?

[114deem]

@alecmets2011 It's called a picture..

[bhz10]

dosn't tell you how to unlock it. What the fuck, its not like its a fucking rubix cube

[azuetag]

i think the problem is your left hand... u cant use it.....

[ddnguyen278]

kinda weird like comparing windows 95 to modern OSX. If your gonna compare phones OS which will come out same time should compare them properly not one generation past vs next generation. It should really be iOS 5.0 and Mango on similar hardware or atleast as close as you can make it.

[bxbbrian]

@ddnguyen278 it wouldnt make a difference Apple interface didnt change its the same as in iphone4s as it is in iphone. things like siri, better camera, twitter integration and so forth was added but that does change the interface. WP will still make it look old and outdated.

[smeggers0329]

ipod touch? really? not even using the Iphone to do a review ? nice.

[dinodxynez]

cool vid ~ I'm loving Windows Phone! rocks!!!!!! iOS is freakin' dated and they've resorted to copying key features from Android. WP is definitely an original.

[WMCsHoTzZ]

that 2,788 new mail inboxes is blatantly all of those porn subscriptions

[Cerebrosoft]

Damn, the iPhone iOS4/5 looks like a fossil compared to WP7. I think we're going to have a change of guard in 2012 and Windows Phone will come to dominate. It just looks so much more modern and dynamic.

[xPerFeXioN]

@Cerebrosoft hahah have u seen the retina display?? troll.

[Cerebrosoft]

@xPerFeXioN Those are just hardware specs turd. We are talking about operating systems. I am pretty sure such a display and better can be ordered from samsung, hitachi or wherever apple buys them for Windows phone too. The only problem is Windows Phone next up required resolution is something like 960 x 1600 if I am not mistaking and such screens exists only as prototypes as of current.

[gorillacheeze]

your comparing a smartphone to a mp3 player

[ThaRebeliouZ]

@gorillacheeze LOL!!

[JorJorArmany]

@pocketnowvideo one more comparison please: iPhone 4s + iOS 5 VS Windows Phone 7.5 + Mango =)

[FastFerrari82]

FAIL

[ZeeLobby]

You guys do realize that iOS5 is almost identical to iOS4 stylistically right? which is most of what he is looking at. iPhone 4s was a hardware update. iOS5 was just a couple extra upgrades for iOS4, nothing really revolutionary (No, i do not consider Siri revolutionary).

[JorJorArmany]

WP7 ALL THE WAY, its future guys... =)

[bxbbrian]

Ios 5 has the same UI, things changed but more on the hardware side, like better camera, siri on software side its basicalkly the same UI. mango would destroy it regardless

[cabutto]

iPhone 4S with iOS 5 FTW!

[tomreed622]

Easier to read if you have a distracting background image, lame point giving to apple there buddy.

[creativewebcenter]

Comparison between mp3 player and smartphone?!?

Its proven that the iPod4/iPhone4 under iOS5 has better performance.

[hawiak]

@creativewebcenter Hes not comparing the phones, hes comparing the OS. Doenst matter that much except for the phone app.

[creativewebcenter]

@hawiak And again it's not fare comparison because he is comparing the latest WP7 OS (7.5, not 7.0) vs the previous version of iOS (4 not 5). In iOS5 Safari is much faster and its showing better performance with java. ;)

[ghirardelliify]

@creativewebcenter compare IOS5 windows phone 7.5 mango

[creativewebcenter]

@ghirardelliify I can't (I already sold my HTC Mozart smartphone). Now I'm with iPhone 4 with iOS5 installed (it was with 4.3.5 when i bought it). I think the iOS5 update is important update, just like the Mango update for WP7. Thats why if there is comparison, it must be between iOS5 and WP7 Mango.

[NitroGadvRules]

@creativewebcenter look at the date of the video, ios 5 was not out yet. it was only in development.

[SudoAptGetFR]

WPhone powaaaaa ! ^^

[RENYTUBE41]

I have had a wp7 since the begining and i had an andriod before that i love my phone and with the mango update it's even nicer,this video shows that wp7 is just as goodas anything out there,i think in terms of the look of the OS wp7 looks alot nicer.

[TRUXTONFTW]

This is sooooooo biased... but windows phone is still awesome

[BenJEMean]

terrible comparison, you are using an iPod touch with different internals to the iPhone 4, and out dated OS, granted it was in beta. The operating system you did use had about 20 apps running with the mail app overloaded taking up a fair amount of memory. You also never cleared the cache on the browsers before a speed test.

[NitroGadvRules]

@BenJEMean this wasn't a speed test, it was a comparison of the UI's.

[love2partynick]

Dude, you suck at this lol. Wp7 ftw

[biancamatic]

Dude do you read your e-mails? :-) 2K + !

[MrNicolasguzman]

the slow browser problem is solved in iOS 5 ;)

[Neojhun]

To me. WP7 is with it's very powerful fresh graphics and layout. That most of the phone on the market. The hardware design looks out of place, almost out dated compared to the OS. The Dell Venue is the only one which matches. That is saying something.

[ParasValecha]

@Neojhun The HTC TITAN is a Windows Phone powerhouse!

[conchstar]

internet explorer is perpetually slow, no matter what platform.

[teletoppy]

Windows phone 7 Mango --- is a lot faster and look great with Live tile... if you open your eyes and try to accept it.. you should be able to see which one is better

[Asiats1]

An Apple a day, keeps Microsoft away :)

[rdknght17]

@Asiats1 mango's are sweeter than apples ;) hahah

[Sassymui8]

I'm neither a fandroid of Iphone fan. I prefer Windows Mango :)

[KaedeZenithMS]

apple juice is good but i prepfer mango juice

[Sassymui8]

@KaedeZenithMS Apple is healthier than Mango, but I prefer tasty mango

[theazurerain]

aghh just press the home button on the iPod to get back to the lock screen!!

[Tylermcf3rson]

It is very obvious that he is one of the few WP fanboys... I much prefer the iOS interface.

[bxbbrian]

@Tylermcf3rson How can you even say that hes a WP7 fanboy didnt just see the two damn phone in action even if he has shut and just played with the features or better yet just turn the the volume and watch the review if it would make you feel better, WP mango will still outshine Iphone, no excuses.

[ParasValecha]

@bxbbrian I agree. WP rocks.

[OnlineFck]

the iOS 5 is out test it out with the Mango



[HellcatM]

They were using the dev preview of WP7 and the gold version of ios4. I think the browser is faster in the gold version of WP7. WP7 rocks!
