Android vs iPhone vs Symbian vs all the other phone programming types that, at the end of the day, allow you to… drumroll please… make a phone call.
There’s an ongoing war out there, of which you have probably never heard.
Android is best!
No! iPhone rules, Android sucks huge elephant balls!
Symbian schmimbian! It’s all about ummm… Windows Mobile! Really Bill?
The 1% of the world that actually gives a toss about this stuff seems to forget that, for the rest of us, a phone is there for just that: making phone calls. (and if I’m really feeling daring I may just send an SMS). That’s it. Finished.
Sure the GPS is handy, an app for the daily news headlines is pretty cool and checking Facebook and Twitter is pretty convenient too. But guess what? They can now ALL do that. Yup, even that crappy little Honest-Bob’s-Reliable-Phones model you own.
So voetsek with your “oh but the iPhone has 235 000 apps vs Android’s pathetic 68 000 apps” and your “Windows Mobile 7 is going to revolutionise the way we call”. No it’s not. Can they all phone other people? Awesome. Wanna know which type of phone I prefer?
A red one.
Cue geek hate mail.
