Ford – Chevy. Suzuki vs. Honda. Car Vs Pick-up truck. Everyone prefers what they like best – which – of course – makes sense. Such is the case with the almighty two: the APPLE OS and the ANDROID OS. Typically – one prefers one – over the other – by a large percentage. In that group myself – and to cast the first vote – I’ll take Apple (iPad/iPhone) over Android any day of the week.

My thoughts on Android (still owning the XOOM and having owned the Infuse) is that - it requires the user to not only attend – but graduate from Harvard – Yale and Princeton - to be able to figure out the Android OS.

We all know why many love Android (because of it’s massive customization ability and settings) but unless you are a genius and willing to spend a very long time trying to master Android – you aren’t going to do well with it.

One of my largest complaints (again – which I realize all Android lovers like) is that every app has 3,852,976 settings. And either over or above each setting – is a one line explanation of what that setting does – which sounds ethical - except for the fact - 90% of those one line explanations - don’t tell anywhere near enough to understand what the setting actually does – or how to use it. In fact – most of these explanations - do nothing but confuse you (unless you’re an Android lover). Too – too complicated.

Worst of this multiple settings within each app – is – that these settings conflict with other app settings – either canceling out a prior app setting – or - if not – allowing that setting to work concurrently with a second or additional app settings – which - when it’s a ringtone or some type of notifier – has them all going off at the same time. Oh isn’t that fun – especially when trying to shut them all off - or even locate which app it was - you set what to. And make no mistake about it – the majority of Android lovers have a zillion apps and they can’t help but have countless conflicting issues.

If you really have it together; if you possess some of the finer “nerd” and “geek” qualities – you will love Android. It is a great OS for those who want total control over their device – and have the intellect to REMEMNBER what they set up - and how to manage it all.

As for myself – I have none of the qualifications to operate Android – hence – my Xoom sits here collecting dust – ONLY used for a STAND ALONE GPS in the car – without the need for internet. It is a GREAT GPS - without being connected to anything else.

The main thing I very much dislike about Android (and this may not be the case with every Android device) is that – a) It takes 2 to 4 minutes to get up and running. Too – too long. Nothing like the light switch: flip it and it’s on. No warm up needed. (iPads & iPhones instant on) b) The Android is a computer inasmuch as – they are actually a small computer – which means - they are terribly susceptible to viruses and infections. And you know – I can get all of those on my PC I want: I don’t really need any on a cell phone or tablet. Whereas – I’ve had 3 iPads and 3 iPhones - and never as much get a hiccup with the APPLE OS.

Or – simply put – there are many two and three year olds (and younger) around the world - using iPads – because they are so – so – so easy – simple – and forgiving – yet not the same with Android. Granted - Android has the well in demand “Flash” but mark my words – so will the iPad in the next two versions. Apple has new blood in Corporate – and it is just a matter of time.

Though I realize this subject will be venomously defended (for Android) - if the truth be known – you could take every company on earth selling an Android device (pad’s – tablets and cell phones) and add every single sale all together – and they wouldn’t equal half - of what Apple has sold in iPads and iPhones. Apple pads and cells dominate – no matter what anyone else tells you. And when the new iPhone5 comes out shortly – it’s said to have a 4.3” screen – or larger - which will seriously cut into all Android cell sales.

WITH THIS HAVING BEEN SAID & READ….
…it’s time to cast your vote: APPLE OS – or ANDROID. To be fair – we will post this on both AT&T and VERIZON – in thinking the majority of users will be on one or the other – and to be fair to the overall count – we need both company supporters to have their chance to vote.
So – please cast your vote on which one you prefer.
