Android Vs Competition: a Discussion on performance, apps, pros, and cons

[blackinjun]

Ok we know it's coming soon, in fact I am already seeing hints of it. We know inevitably once the I3 is out, there will be people that suggest that everything Apple has made going back to the IMAC is better than the Prime.

So this thread is for people to start lowering their blood pressure ahead of time and once it starts. I will not consider anything in THIS thread flaming, sarcasm, trolling, or anything else that is usually reportable especially since it is a hypothetical post. That being said I cannot control it if a mod thinks something is too far gone and decides to take things into his own hands.

Personally I think this type of thread is better than hijacking someone else's, at least here we can have fun. So without further adieu, say what you wish.

GUYS, I just saw the specs on the new IPAD3. It is going to blow everything ANDROID out of the water especially everything ASUS has on the drawing board. You guys better sell your antique now so you can preorder the I3

EDIT: BTW the ones I am really gonna have fun with are those who don't read the OP and think the thread is serious

EDIT 03/19 Since the thread became serious I have changed to a serious name suggested by Wordly wise

Original name was

I REALLY THINK THE IPAD3 (and 2) ARE BETTER THAN THE PRIME

Unfortunately even the original iPad blows the Prime out of the water simply because its a reliable product unlike the nothing but problems since launch quality control issues Prime

 

[Erusman]

Ipad 3 will be for my kids. You have a link for the specs? Because I didn't think
it wasn't announced until tomorrow (March 7th).
Everything is rumor at this point....

So you wanna fight or what?

Why come into the Prime general forum with a line like that if youdidn't expect a flame fest. (I take back any earlier comment about trollism, as clearly tha is not your intent) . You must KNOW you won't get a serious debate in here, but rather a war of words, and incendiary comments. The Prime is the most Love it/Hate it device going right now. People are so polarised over it, it's crazy, with Major "It's the best and I won't STAND for anyone talking bad about it" guys like Damandarin, down to the opposite side such as this joker:

Black or white with Prime... Personally I love it, but have been frustrated as hell by the issues that will all be resolved on the next iteration (yeah... uhuh. and all aspirins are alike) But yeah, it CLOSE to greatness, but too many **** ups and it starts losing that shine... At the moment I need to see Asus STOP updating at breakneck pace breaking **** while they fix others... I had to roll back to .14, and I had no issues all along, besides you G know P what S

Of course I know, but better here than in the threads that are going to start tomorrow. Those threads will probably be posted in all seriousness, ooorrrr did you not read the entire OP xD.

I Love Deman but I bet he doesn't read the whole OP or this post and swoops in like the Green Lantern.

LOL... I almost PEED MYSELF!!!! You are so right! And Quad Core Beats what iPAD 3 has... uh... What DOES iPAd 3 have?

 

[Erusman]

Green Latern is cool.

And I love my prime.
Good point. Probably about 100 threads of IPAD 3 vs Prime in next few days. lol

My buddy works at Apple and he sent me a copy of the spec sheet. It's running a Tegra 6 24 cores at 2.5mhz. And it has 8 gigs of ram with 1TB of user app space, and all the apps are in the cloud so you don't use up room on the tablet, and it doesn't need WIFI to download them it uses a transporter

Really? How do you feel about the Green LaNtern. If you were posting from an IPAD it wouldn't let you make that mistake

I'm saving up for the iPad XX (20). It's going to incite Rapture and save our souls. It's also going to sh*t money and run on a quantum processor, travel faster than light, and have enough geebees to hold every single memory that humanity has ever had. OMG I LUV APPLE AND ANDROID SUKS BECAUSE IT COPIES EVERYTING APPLE. TROLLS RULE!

You should add Samsung's next tablet. They have their own event on March 9th...

Yeah I agree, the first generation IPAD is better than anything that Samsung has put out or will put out this year

Yes.. true. However, using an IPAD would take away that "character" that makes you.. YOU.

 

[flub]

IPAD ??
Whats one on them ?
Are they a new type of womens sanitry towels ? if so I will buy the wife a pack

 

[wynand32]

It's just too damned hard to figger out the widgers and home bases and file whatchamacallits on my Prime. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaay to complicated. I just want to turn it on and push some buttons and watch my kitty videos on the YouTube. I mean, when I install an app, where does it GO?!? What are those little dots on the screen, you know, the ones on the right-hand corner at the top? You know, when I hold the Prime SIDEWAYS?

So I think I'll get one of those iPad 3 things from the Apple store, so I don't have to worry about figgering anything out. And I know it'll just werk, right? RIGHT?

 

[flub]

AAAHHH I found them

 

[pileot]

Thing about apple is its BUILT to be idiot proof, you have a limited amount of things you can do with it and it works well at what it does.

Android, by nature, is more unstable however there is more freedom to put whatever os you like (android, linux, hell i've seen some androids running messed up windows ports with very limited functionality)

So ya the ipad may be "better" if you want something stable, however i want something i can customize to my liking and you just cant do that with apple.

 

[flub]

Too Much Choice

DO I Buy

Ipad 1

OR IPAD 2

OR IPAD 3

If you did not mean kiddy videos I don't think the IPAD will let you watch these.

EDIT the above wouldn't have happened if I was using an IPAD
