Iphone users come to the free world in Android Land, here the sky are blue and the air is easy to breath. When you buy a Iphone you are prisoners of apple and when you jailbrake you are fugitives, what a life !

iPhones are the best devices. Since the first iPhone was invented they started to throw cheap androids on the market, iPhones are made from high quality materials like glass and metal, but those cheap androids are made from cheap plastic and are bad looking phones, some people are saying that androids are better cuz they can't afford the iPhone. So android people face it, iPhones are better!!!!!.

@poqbum Yeah i get what you're saying but i don't really think iPhone and Android is really a fair fight since they are both so different in how they operate and how their hardware works but if i were getting a smartphone it would be a really tough decision since they are both such great devices.

@poqbum Also if you have never seen what android is capable of doing graphically check out:

and if you look at the iOS section you will see that most of them look the same, because the OS is locked down and it lacks true customization and personalization.

@poqbum and also reading back I hope you don't think android doesn't have netflix. I've had netflix on my HTC Incredible for months now. This past quarter android sold 52% while iphones sold 29% of the marketshare, android has already passed up iOS several months ago in terms of marketshare. I like the build of the hardware on the iPhone but that is it, everything else Android runs better and they continue to make big strides in improvement.

@donutsprinkles99 yeah sorry I wrote that quickly. Did some research, didn't know you could transcode flash into html5. So flash on an iphone is now possible with the skyfire browser (although it performs poorly compared to actual flash). Comparing the 2 OS, android comes out a winner. Open-source, more apps, more free apps. If you compare phone hardware, it depends on the phone. There are a lot of turd android phones because they have bad hardware, most new ones outperform the iPhone.

@poqbum Please re-word that, if you're making a good point i'll see it but your sentences aren't very clear. I think i might understand what you're saying but there are apps like skyfire that basically run the flash through an interpreter making it compatible to the html environment. Please reply , i'm intrigued by your statement.

[poqbum]

@donutsprinkles99 5 months old but eh I just noticed your comment. Yeah you're wrong, you aren't pointing out any flaws because what you're saying isn't correct and it's not hmtl it's html and no flash and html are not at all the same thing and you can't translate flash into html. If you want to argue a technical argument then at least know what you're talking about.
