[citation][nom]upgrade_1977[/nom]I own an ipad and an iphone 4. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of things I love about them, mostly the resolution, color, and touch screen, and the camera, but i'd still much rather have a phone that is hmmmm.... Less proprietary.With that, here is a list of things I hate and would like to see different.[/citation]
I have Android and an iPad... so I'll knock some back at you.
I won't quote everything on your rant. They will be numbered thou...
1) Agreed... but that is the "tech" in us. For many people, its easier to "sync" as all you have to do is tell iTunes WHAT folders you want to sync.
2) App store issues... ditto. Perhaps in iOS5?
3) FLASH issues: That should be understood. Yes, its a battery hog... HTML5 can handle Flash type content. But there is a REAL reason for FLASH being banned from the iPhone.
Control. With FLASH, you can get apps and games and NOT go through the Apple APP store. So its only about security and control.
4) Yes, in a sense - the iOS is the most owned platform that plays games. Angry bird, etc. Don't count on them ever coming out with a joystick-button phone. You have options... SONY PlayStation Phone. It has what you want... oddly, a rather out-dated CPU.
5) Pretty much nobody has true 4G. As you should see, they are moving OFF of using wired HDMI... The dock connector goes to USB. Removable battery (agreed) but understand why. Makes for a bit thinner device and design style. Don't count on that happening.
6) 2012~2013...
7) You know better than to dream that. Get an Android. Windows7 is also a closed platform.
8) Their DOCK connector works with hundreds, if not thousands of iOS type devices. 1 connector is idiot proof... It is a "standard" connector in that ALL iPhone, iPad, iPod devices work on the same connector. You won't see that happen with Android and WP7 devices because each manufacture can decide what and were to put various connectors. For 3rd party makers, they KNOW that the iOS Dock Connector is located and what it can do.
9) Multi-tasking ? Even my Android is a bit slowing sometimes switching between modes.
10) Wifi hotspots has to do with your phone carrier more than anything else. Has nothing to do with Apple. at&t, etc will milk you for whatever they want. HotSpots SHOULD be free since the whole point is: faster data and to take the load off of the 3G/4G/etc.
11) LOL... Root it and take your chances.
I've installed the Launcher7 onto my Android phone, makes it work very much like Windows7. Works great, love it. An HTC will most likely be in your future.
