iOS vs. Android?
Consider the roads...
|
Van Baker, an analyst from Gartner (the world's largest technology research and advisory company) who analyzes Apple products, was
recently quoted on the iOS-versus-Android smartphone debate as saying Android is heralded mostly by "technologists" while iOS is more often supported by "fans". The implication is that Android proponents have concrete,
technical reasons backing their choice while iOS proponents are more simply driven by fandom.
I agree with the "technologists" part of the assessment but, taking a few steps back, I also doubt there would be any serious complaints if iOS had remained the only game in town. Why? Let's compare mobile technology to US roadways...
