Of course it is - did I promise that nobody will disagree with my opinion?, why is my opinion on Android any less valid just because I'm not licking it's back, like a lot of people are.
Android is made out to be this non-elitist OS for lots of different devices, free from the snobbery that half the population hold against Apple. Yet here it is, you can have your smooth and responsive experience that you were promised, but be prepared to pay Apple prices.
Regardless of price, you still have the Android app stores, full of badly written, uncontrolled apps. That doesn't change because you spent £400 on your phone, or £80 on your phone - your still stuck with the same cruddy apps. That is not my opinion, that is a fact, and no matter how sour it tastes, you all have to accept that.
Thing is, I don't own an iPhone, I wouldn't spend that much money on something I might drop in a toilet. If I was buying a decent phone, I'd be looking at Android phones. That's the difference, I haven't bought into either phone platform, I am not emotionally invested in a damn phone OS so my opinion is based on experience of using both platforms. The only people commenting or even having much of an opinion are people who actually want to customise their phone, who want to do things like run emulators, and homebrew... well what about Joe Bloggs who just wants a decent phone, maybe with some casual games and access to social websites and youtube, normal people I mean. Do they care about homebrew and customisation more than having decent apps?
If pricing is irrelevant, then how come it's not irrelevant when Android users mention Apples pricing? - isn't it fair to say that a good Android phone is as expensive as an iPhone? - or a good tablet is expensive no matter who made it. If pricing is irrelevant then what is relevant? - user customisation and freakin homebrew! - I think not.
It's nobodies fault that the Chinese can make an Android tablet for peanuts except Google, they should have taken more control, it's their OS that's looking damn bad on these shoddy devices. People who buy a cheap tablet that barely runs will blame Android, not the faceless manufacturer of the tablet. Apple has a face, and that's why it wouldn't take a dump in the marketplace like some companies would.
Android wins, but only in the eyes of Android users, because iOS users are so herp derp right - their opinion is jaded or something. User friendliness is a sign of weakness apparantly, maybe that's why Apple has done so badly.
