iPhone or Android clone

So many think that Google copied things from Apple to create the Android platform. Well iPhone users can be happy that it happens all the time.
Apple copies a bunch of features from Android, calls it iOS5
Just goes to show you that there are no new ideas, the best ones are stolen from your competitors!

Android & only Android

Magical ****. Lol

This really isn't a big deal at all.

Companies do this type of thing all the time to remain competitive, this competition leads to a better product for the end-user.

Android is best and its realy good and much batter them iphone

Apple only good at sueing. They should come up with iSues.

Idea Sharing
They're all constantly grabbing content from each other, so this really isn't anything new. Every month we get another lawsuit opened that any one of the bigger manufacturers stole some idea from another group.

i think will be awesome to be using iphone in droid cos droid is the best

lololooloooolo that made me laugh

Let people know about this. This is normal there is no need for sueing. Everybody get their ideas from somewhere to start with. They get creative and build something better. At the end of the day we will see a fast growing tech development for the betterment of all people.

Will I miss android??

Hi guys, I'm considering to replace my old trusted HTC desire with an iPhone 4s. Will I miss my android? Anyone make a similar jump?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

The simplest answer is, yes.

I don't know, but I can guarantee Android won't miss you.

How so? Well maybe I will miss the widget feature but other than that I think iPhone kinda do a pretty good job IMHO.

No need to flame guys, it's just a simple question.
Now to the OP, try IOS put, if you like it, keep it. If not, you care slate trade the 4S for an android device. Once it comes down to it, it's all preference.

I went from being an iPhone user (iPhone3GS then an iPhone4) to android and would never go back. There isn't much you can do on an iPhone in was of customization without jailbreaking, and a jailbroke ios4.0 was very unstable for me with horrible battery life. Not to sure about a jailbroke ios5 since I bailed before it was released, although my wife now has the iPhone4 with ios5 (stock) and it is fast, so I'm sure the 4s would be snappy as ever with the improved processor. I like optons, so for me android is a better experience.

It depends on how much money you spent on apps from the Android market.

You will by default miss something about android. That's just natural. Will that thing be enough to make you regret your purchase? Only you can answer that. Hell I miss some things about WebOS on my Touch pad. But will I go back? Nah B-)

i don't really get why you'd want to go the iphone route unless you're feeling a little retro today.
the main reason iphone users dont switch (from my observations) was the money spent on apps, but i've never heard of android users switching to an iphone unless it was an entry-level phone (ie: optimus one, galaxy gio)
edit:
if you're bored with your phone, you can try a different manufacturer like samsung, moto or maybe go stock with a gnex. it'll be a completely new experience.

Actually considering gnex too especially with ics. Samsung for me I dont like touchwiz even if I get one I will definitely install AOSP rom. In that case I will still feel like same old android. Thanks for the input.

The biggest thing for me that keeps me away from ios other than it being closed and no customization is the lack of a dedicated back button. I think its a huge thing to leave out and makes things like opening links in one app that brings up another very disorienting. I think its a huge flaw in the design of the OS. The one home button is incredibly inconvenient and clunky.

Not really, In two years of Android, I've spent a total of $5 on Android apps from the market, I'd miss Android if I left.

That's why I said 'it depends,' and followed it with a smiley. Some people would miss the money they spent in the market/app store. Others will only care about ideology or the OS.

i switched to iphone4 for about two weeks and oh hell no lol i couldnt get back to android fast enough, but i like the roms and just the hacking in general for android

My friend did that... switched from android and now whenever I flaunt my android the look on his face is hilarious...

Goodbye SGM Community :(

Hey guys I just wanted to say good bye tp you all cuz I got my new Nexus 4 and gave SGM to my small brother. Just yesterday I got my Nexus 4 and now will be going back to my college with my new phone
I just want to say thank you for the whole SGM community and all its developers and guys who were included in even a little development for our SGM. I learned a lot from this community but now I had to buy new device cuz all others have costly smartphones in my college. As I said I won't buy Samsung device in future I didn't go with galaxy s3. Afaik. I am the only one with a nexus 4 in the whole college cuz everyone for the ****ty Samsung's s4 s3 grand and all that s#it. Whatever it is at last I would like to say good bye to you guys again. I don't think anyone will miss me because I was not on xda from last month. But I will miss you guys and I hope nexus 4 community will be like you guys.
Thanks guys

So don't worry, enjoy your life. I always think that the thing you have is the best in the world. Even when I had my Mini, it was much better for me than S4 or any other S#!T.

the point is not to have to carry two devices with you at all times, in order to have a full mobile OS and desktop OS. This enables you to have a mobile OS when traveling, and a desktop OS when you get home, to work, what-have-you

So my wife has an HTC one. She hates it. She's been scouring craigslist to see if there's someone asking for trades. Before I go online and post the ad , is this phone still considered straight trade material for an iPhone 5 ?? Specially now that the 5s is coming out this month. ??
