It wasn't an apple that Eve ate.

Fry a bacon handle on to it.

I have 250 apps on my 1.5 year old Incredible and I don't have to restart.

@Chris LeMe Their terms say that some things aren't allowed to be uploaded. I assumed that was the same for private pictures...

What has a carrier or OEM stopped people from doing, besides AT&T blocking sideloading (though they don't any more)?

Lots of companies were already doing this before Apple started doing it.

I agree, Apple is probably better at this, what with their giant company full of developers vs Vlingos small team. I was just saying that Apple stole someone's idea and improved, and that they didn't invent voice commands. Hell, I had voice commands in Windows 95...

You install apps that kill resources and then blame the OS, which is completely open and lets you install whatever you want? Apps like Meebo keep your phone constantly awake and pulling data. It's necessary for the app to function correctly, but it kills your resources. Why should Android tell you that you can't do

This is borderline slander, is it not? Taking something this out of context in a way that will make people like Android less? Believe it or not, Giz, you have a lot of people that read your shit. You have influence. Be responsible, please.

I think Vlingo already paved the way for voice...

I turned it off because some of the pictures I take would get me banned.

How was Android born of iOS? Android is open-source, open-market, allows side-loading, lets people do whatever the fuck they want. Are you saying because they use icons in rows and columns that they copied the iPhone? Because if that's the case, Apple copied Palm.

The difference is Google isn't suing the pants off Apple for using their notification system and multitasking. This is the real problem with Apple. They want to kill anyone who out-innovates them, which will kill innovation in the market, and somehow they are succeeding. They don't want to win by making things better.

Android doesn't just run the apps. It's always got other things running in the background. If you installed some shit that kills your resources, it could be running any time. Don't blame the OS.

Apple has been known to withhold certain updates so that they will have something new for their next version, which will make people more inclined to upgrade every year instead of every two years. 4 years might be pushing it, like you said, but still, it's kind of a douchey move.

Will you paint a giant brofist where the fists meet at the net and lightning shooting out all around?

OMG look at how ugly Android is. It's so ugly because only iOS is the prettiest.

Yeah, I have wifi tether, but I don't want to use it as much as I would need to with my tablet out of fear the carrier would catch on. It also destroys my battery and unless I underclock, my phone gets hotter than the surface of the sun.
