Kinda blew my mind reading the first post as well. Comparing a browser to an OS seems a bit... unfair?
Perhaps, Android OS to Apple OS is Firefox to IE?
What about Chrome though? Faster, better tab features... omnibox... etc

I love you.
Actually, the comparison is correct. I'm not talking trash about Android. I love my Android phone. ...the comparison is the fact that both Firefox and Android are open source, where IE and Apple, are not.

IE on Apple: First of all, you are wrong. There is in fact Internet Explorer for Apple/Mac. Here is a Wikipedia link so you can learn a little, before you speak.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_for_Mac
"Apple OS": And I'm about to hurt your feelings again... Just so you know, Macintosh is a "hardware" product owned by APPLE. APPLE is the company who makes the various operating systems for iPad, iPhone, Mac, etc... Therefor, all of these various operating systems for these different devices are...you guessed it... APPLE OPERATING SYSTEMS.
Anyone else?
Well but it isn't called 'Apple OS', it is infact called 'Mac OSX'(newest one) and the portables have what is called 'iOS'

I'm afraid we only have ourselves to blame. These adds are "intelligent" ads. The sort of add that appears is based on the text you are viewing on screen at the time. So for example, I notice that you were viewing a post that several times mentions the word gay and lesbian - and that is why the lesbian add appeared. If you have the word Nokia appearing on the page or Muslim for example then the adds that appear may well be related to Nokia phones or Muslims in some way.

PS - Nothing out and out pornographic or extreme will appear.
In all probability then this kind of add will only appear in the off topic section. Assuming folk post in the correct forum.

I have seen alot of iphone commercials on tv and the "there's an app for that" commercials bother me because I know that there are android programs that can do exactly the same thing. So I thought it was time for a thread where we list the iphone app and the android app that serves the same purpose. Ready? Let's Go
Iphone Android
SnowReports -Snow Report (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.reddroid.snowreport)
Posimotion -CarDar (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.clinkybot.parkmark2)

Loopt -Loopt (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.loopt)
UrbanSpoon -Where (guess where feature) (http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.ulocate)
That's what I could come up with from the Commercials I just watched on Youtube. If you know of other ones or want to venture into the app store on itunes please continue the comparison.
and just for fun....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZyYjQHcXEU&NR=1
It's a shame there isn't any real advertising standards, or they aren't upheld in the US, there is so many lies I've more or less given up being annoyed about it any more.
Apple has already had advertising yanked off UK TV because the govt body said that it wasn't truthful.
What? You mean that I have the real, not watered down, not mobile internet...but no flash? I am always a little happy when the UK takes Apple to task for false advertising. It makes me feel warm and happy...lol
How about instead of "...there's an app for that" we put together "there's not an app for that, unless you have android..."
For instance:
Metal Detector
Overclock Widget
Home screen replacements
Iphone users feel free to chime in with "but I can use -appname- to do that"
i'm waiting for Trapster, so i can finally say...There's an app for that haha

I can block ads on my phone with AdFree, I can run apps in the background, the app I'm running doesn't get killed because of an incoming phone call.
As one of my co-workers who abandoned an iPhone and got a G1 after he saw mine......
"Yeah, there's an app for that.....only it doesn't cost anything on Android."
rofl yeah the only place the i phone as us beats is the games. but emulators are changing that i my opinion.
Iphone interface?
Theres an app for that.
I showed Nesroid to an iPhone user of a coworker a couple weeks ago and he said "that emulator runs better than mine."

Considering the actual OS is built on top of BSD, does that mean BSD is the worlds most advanced operating system?
Actually does anyone know if there is an app that can hook into a desktop PC/laptop and you can use the keyboard on it to type into the GUI on android?

I am being forced into using the htc hd2 for work.
And windows mobile have to be the biggest piece of **** i have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with.
The htc hd2 is such an amazing piece of hardware but windows mobile completely kills it.
Why would you even think about doing something like this?
And what software are you talking about? wm more the android?
I cant even find a bank of america, pandora, last.fm simple apps like that for windows mobile.
You are not worthy of the droid.
can a mod please close this thread? it's an obvious troll
hm, who is the troll?
The person who just asked a simple question, or the people who have to run to bash him? Don't think you hard, you might hurt yourself
A dual boot would be kind of cool. The one thing that bothers me the most about android is not having native windows office support. It would be nice to get a real MS office program on my nexus.
I hate the viewers and I'm not really sure I want to try an editing software for $15 which probably is crappy.
This thread fails.

I think this may have its own advantages actually...although I did move from the HD2 to the N1 almost solely for Android...it would be nice to be able to use Windows Phone 7 though (thinking that the games for it would be nice, the preview is nice after all)....
Honestly, if someone made some kind of emulation for it, I'd do it just because "my phone can handle it" etc.
I'm sorry, you missed April Fools Day about 29 days ago! FAIL!
Wow I guess android fan boys are just as rabid as the apple ones. Who knew? I know that it goes against logic that someone may actually like windows mobile..
I came from WM to android because its so boring!...
I luv android and its apps!
Yes, steady guys!

where are your web principles?
Ok everyone. I tricked you. Obviously from my posts yall know I love Android. However when you saw this title I bet you wanted to argue with me about it. Well guess what. I have a website I just launched where you can do just that. Informal Debates is a debate community and I desperately need people who want to join the site. I come here because I know you guys know your stuff (about Android at least) and I trust you guys. If you want to join, please do http://www.informaldebates.com
Oh and Toast, please forgive me for stepping out of line. I know this isn't specifically Android based but I figured this may help slow down some of the inter debating that goes on here. If you want to delete I understand don't blame you but this is my reasoning.
MOD EDIT: Moved this to off-topic for you, as it fits better in there than in one device forum

Not desperate but I just want people to use the site. I have seo measures in place, though I do need to set up meta tags for the dynamic pages. I just figure this is one way to get people interested. Besides even good seo takes a month to see any results.
