You dont need root to customize an android phone....and it's only the US carrier phones that are harder to root not "most" android phones!!!

[/QUOTE] But you're saying that Apple preventing jailbreaking is something bad, when manufacturers block rooting when they can. And it's not just in the US that bootloaders are locked and root is hard to attain.[/QUOTE]Okay lets get this right. Google the maker of android has nothing against rooting, you can buy a google phone called nexus if you think other manufacturers are restrictive.

Samsung the biggest android manufacturer right now is just as much pro tinkering as google. They dont lock their bootloaders and samsung releases their OS to the open source community. Name me a single non carrier samsung phone that cant be rooted easily.

And lol at your last comment, it's because apple makes it so much harder to jailbreak I dont think it has anything to do with lack of interest or there wont be a jailbreak at all as it requires serious dedication to jailbreak iphone and ipad.

[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter what you think, frankly. You're not capable of having any sort of reasonable discussion.

The fellow I'm quoting here just got his first smartphone, and he has access to the Internet, which can mean only one thing -- he's an expert! D: D: D:[/QUOTE]lol you are just a butt hurt apple fanboy who cannot fathom the success of an ad company.:lol::lol:

[QUOTE="musicalmac"]As far as gaming specifically is concerned, I really do think iOS has the advantage. Almost every game works on every iPhone 3GS, 4, and 4S. Hundreds of thousands of games available for all three models. That can't be said of any Android phone. Add to that the fact that iOS is going to be the lead platform in almost every case and you have yourself the best mobile device for gaming (that isn't a dedicated gaming device, settle down).

So for gaming, Apple wins. Strange to see, I know, lol.[/QUOTE]Not with that tiny screen sorry!!

And does the appstore has emulators? Nope.

[QUOTE="musicalmac"]We'll see how much longer Android is around in its current form. Apple was just granted [url=http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/07/18/apple-granted-the-mother-of-all-smartphone-software-patents/]the mother of all smartphone software patents[/url]. Interesting notes from the article:

[quote="FORTUNE"]Granted just today, the latest addition to the Cupertino-based tech giant's stable of intellectual property could be the mother of all smartphone software patents," writes Phandroid's Kevin Krause. "The effects could be swift and lethal."[/quote]

A sobering reality for the most complimentary operating system Apple has ever had the pleasuring of being emulated by. Another take on it:

[quote="Jack Purcher"]In 2007, Samsung, HTC, Google (GOOG) and all others in the industry didn't have a smartphone with the likes of Apple's iPhone features. They didn't have the solutions that Apple eloquently brought to market to make a smartphone truly smart. Apple carefully and meticulously crafted a full end-to-end smartphone solution. So when the copycats and their followers whine in public and on blogs that Apple should learn to compete instead of initiate litigation I bowl over with laughter.[/quote]

Reality bites.[/QUOTE]Your apple isnt big enough to take down the whole android army, they banned the galaxy nexus and it was lifted merely days later. The UK courts have already rejected many of apple's US patents as being silly, not long before the US system wakes up from it's ridiculousness. You can keep dreaming in the meanwhile.;)
