Apple Vs Samsung

[Matthias]

Did you guys in the hear about the battle between Apple and Samsung?? Seems like Steve Jobs and the whole possy can´t swallow it that Samsung and especially all Android devices are taking over on the market. I know Apple is an US company and most of you will stick to it instead of Samsung, but I have had tried both products and tell you what : Apple and the iOS4 sucks big time...I love the Android and it´s open source....

 

What Apple is doing now, they went to the court and now Samsung has to stop all sales of their smartphones and tablets in Europe by mid October...I mean WTF??? Does Apple really think that will bring customers back??

 

Sorry...I´m so angry about this....I hate if someone want´s to tell me what to buy...especially if the product sucks

[RockySierra]

I sure will not be purchasing any more apple products... or samsung.

Have never had much luck with Samsung phones, had a couple and both had problems within a couple months and needed to be replaced. I haven't used Apple but if this is true won't be hurrying out to buy one soon.

Apple is barely an American company, everything is made in China (though I know all the design stuff is done here). The smartphone makers are constantly suing each other over here, it's nothing new and nothing ever seems to come from it. I will admit I just bought an iPhone coming from an Android device and I know people love to tout the open source thing but I can't see the appeal of it. I ran into a few buggy apps that were a pain and now on the iPhone I have all the same programs I did before. The only thing I really miss is the integration of Google services (the maps program pulling up reviews, phone numbers, etc). I haven't tired a Samsung tablet or phone so I can't comment on their hardware but while Android is a real good OS, it failed to blow me away enough to buy another device running it.

I have a Samsung Droid Charge and I can tell you first hand that the newest Android phones (mine at least) are not as buggy as the old versions. The new hardware/software is 100x better than ios4. Android is taking over and Apple is doing everything they can to slow it down.

 

BTW: Motorola Droid Bionic is the new hotness starting tomorrow.

never never never like anything apple/mac

[MikeNH]

I had the Droid X running 2.3, the newest OS and I hated it. 2.2 was more stable and gave me tons better battery life. I don't miss it.

meh, i went through the whole Apple phase. honestly, when people ask me how i like my Macs, i just say, "Meh, its okay."

 

its nice for uploading pics from a camera, which is all my wife uses it for. the all in one computer with wireless keyboard and mouse is nice too. BUT there is still a lot that i cannot do on a mac, that i have to pull out my 5 year old Dell laptop runnning Windows XP, to do. like tunes for cars, plugging in an older camcorder to download a video, some programs are only windows based, etc. etc.

 

i didn't buy an ipad, cuz i didn't have any use for it. i do have an iphone, which is nice for all the apps, but i don't ever listen to music on it. when i need to upgrade, i will most likely pick the phone with the best camera, between the Droid and iphone... and right now the Droid is winning that battle!

 

when my iMac is done, i will most likely go back to Microsoft

My Droid X had an 8 MP vs the iPhone having 5 MP and the iPhone takes waaaaaay better pics than the DX.

well i wouldn't really know with no experience, but the big camera lens on the back looks better than the tiny lens on the iphone.

 

hopefully someone comes out with one that has optical zoom that can rival some compact point and shoots!

[MikeNH]

I doubt you'll ever see anything that good. Picture quality comes from nice optics and a good CCD chip, neither of which are likely to make it into a phone anytime soon. The phone has always been a quick and dirty way for me to get pics. I'd never use it for something important, that's why I've spent like $2000 on a Nikon DSLR and an assortment of lenses. Expensive as hell but it takes amazing pics.

Early on Apple dumped tons of money into the aesthetics of their products, but now there are other companies who have caught up. I purchased an ipad2 a few weeks ago and took it back after a week. Was not impressed at all, and I really hate the Apple store. I will most likely get an ASUS or the new Sony tablet that comes out on 9/16/11.

[Prokopchuk_9]

i have owned many many phones between me and the woman. NOTHING has the quality of an apple product! APPLE FTW! my buddy bought one of them samsung phones and it sucked ass! brought it back a week later and paid full out for an iphone ahahaha

What was it about the ipad2 you didn't like? I just checked out the Sony Tablet S and it looks really nice.

I know its been out for a while, but the speed was a little sluggish compared to my HTC Sensation (Tmobile), and for having to pay for just about all the apps I would expect them to be a little more visually appealing. Last but not least I don't like the idea of having to use their formats for music and movies. They can stick their proprietorship where the sun don't shine.

 

Don't get me wrong, they make nice products, but now that there are other options that are just as good and some are better at a lower price. For most people is just about the brand name. Like owning a northface jacket.
