Well there are two strong OS for mobile platforms today, iOS and Android, and they are based on very different concepts. Android is Google's product, and it is designed to be free, while iOS is developed specifically for Apple's products, and it is heavily controlled by Apple.
Android is much more customizable OS, with ability to adapt to many different configurations of hardware/platforms, while iOS is Apple-only. This will eventually lead to Android becoming dominant OS for mobile platforms (unless Apple expands line of mobile products  ). Having said that, Apple is not a small player, having large percent of the market by just having one mobile phone, and one mobile pad as products.I guess people who are using Google services will have bigger use of Android, since it integrates Google services very good, and people who are in the Apple section, will - well use iOS and nothing else. iOS does provide better experience, and is more elegant for use. It's a constant battle, I don't think there is a win-win situation

I do not have any tablet but replaced my iPhone3 with HTC Sensation which runs Android and I am enjoying it a lot.

I don't have any tablet, but I'm interested in hearing opinions about the matter, since the galaxy tab is catching my eye lately.

QUOTE (Gary @ Jun 15 2011, 07:30 AM)  For me life without Flash was frustrating. I hear you. I was looking for a something small to read marvel comics online, and the lack of flash made the ipad useless for me in that regard, plus it cost 600€... so I went and bought a netbook for 230€, and voilá!, problem solved... oh well. Considering getting some android based tablet in the future, though I'm not in a hurry. -------------------- Guitars:

Hey Todd, you said you can't get the playlist to run in youtube, is that via website or the app? Because on my Droid X it runs playlists.

My XOOM works great. So does my htc evo 4g from last summer. I wouldn't trade them for anything! The batteries last all week in the xoom and two days in the evo; they're connected to everything when I want them to be. The hardware quality is first rate and they're built like tanks.
The are two issues with android as an open system: 1. It's very easy for manufacturers to throw together cheap high-failure hardware. 2. It's very easy for software vendors to throw together cheap untested and incompatible apps. Everything else about it is great. So far I have stayed away from both of those items above, and it's the most amazing OS I've ever developed on (so far). Very few of the vendors are really taking full advantage of the power these devices have within. Just stay away from cheap hardware (easy) and poorly written apps (less easy if you're not in the biz, I suspect). Everything I've tried has worked very well right out of the box. edit: clarified the battery life since I'm speaking of two devices instead of just one.

Regarding custom app shops, I wouldn't recommend using those if you can avoid it. The real one lets you queue up installation from any browser and shows your device capabilities if you've configured them properly with a google account.

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jun 15 2011, 10:36 PM) I think it's down to the LAME build version of Android that is particular to this unit. The KYROS. Or as I like to call it, KRAPOS. Come to find out, it doesn't run full blown Android and it has it's own mini app store. But it was only about a hundred bux U.S. So you get what you pay for. Still thats a good deal on something to learn off of to see if you would use it or just let it collect dust. -------------------- Guitars:
