That said, only ones get the market is the king. I think HTC made some buzz with the release of One series, but failed to catch enough volume in the end. The game looks to me like, all the major Android makers are losing ground while some new comers with cheaper phones gained. People understand that, no matter who makes it, they all run Android, not a big difference. Only google is happy.
Let the hype begin
There's a thread for the update talk. Lets keep it in there please

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
2011 is the year of copycats

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.

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.

I don't understand why anyone would go from Android to iOS, and I'll leave it at that.

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

Maybe I just got bored with android.and one think I notice that android will become slow over time.

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...

I hate that I love phones. It generally is all I can have a long conversation about. I always post on Facebook about phones too, luckily I have some friends who are as passionate as I am. However its going to be a tough addiction to break while at basic training next month. I'm gonna miss flashing ROMs and I will miss XDA lol.

Try buying an iPad mini 16gig, a vtech discovery tree and a million other things, they go out of stock, glass things chip and crack and break, software never works perfect all the time, companies make promises they can't keep, but for the love of christ I have never seen such moaning about every little thing in my life, if you don't like it get a refund, cancel your order or shut up about it.

Welcome to XDA, this is what happens in every forum when a new device is released, and it is aggravating sometimes but that's life.

If you don't like the moaning than skip those threads. Better that than to actually start complaining about people complaining. Can't you see the hypocrisy in that?

"The only winner is Windows" That was the conclusion of the article, because appearantly M$ has enough patents and licences to cover all makers of Windows Phone - Capacitive screens or not! So Sammy and LG "could" produce Windows Phones and pay MS their cut and call it a day
The reason why we'll never see the end of Android (well at least in the next 10-20 years) is that the market share is so paramount. Such an event would have so many economical consequences that the governments would step in before anything would happen.

It'll also be held up in appeals for years. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure this would only cover OEM keyboards that come pre-installed. I really doubt that it would affect third-party apps like SwiftKey. Worst case scenario, there will end up being some kind of technical workaround that approximates current usage but skirts the patent. There's no real reason to worry about this.

I have yet to see a single legitimate source try to forecast doom and gloom for Android as a result of this development. Let's not collectively freak out over some blog post on a meaningless website.
Sorry but this conversation belongs in the Off Topic thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434020
This does not have any development content towards the Sprint S4.
Thank you for your cooperation.
