The release of MS Surface will speed up the adoption of Win8, as well.
This is a DUH! article.

Quite a few of these early adopters already regret the fact that they can't roll back to iOS5. Too bad they can't get nandroid.....

I think Apple will have a tough time over the next couple of years. They haven't really invented anything new. Their OS still looks the same, and what? The phone got longer?

I wonder how many people are actually happy with ios6 though.

 

[sheepsnowadays]

^ Everyone I know wants to go back to iOS5

 

[tomaz99]

Great...

Yea, I waited to upgrade to iOS 6, and decided not to after hearing my friends complaints. I am still on iOS 5 and I intend on staying there until maps is working like it should.

seriously, as bad as iOS is, and as bad as Apple as a company is, Google should really find a way for a seamless upgrade experience for Android phones. I'm lucky because I have a Galaxy Nexus at the moment, but it really sucks for those with less technical know-how and not using a Nexus phone!

meanwhile the latest android is sitting at a miserable 1%

I could have my facts wrong but I thought with the latest Android you lose support for Flash. From what I keep reading in the comments a lot of people want the Jelly Bean, and so it appears they want to lose support for Flash. I always thought that Flash support was one of Android's strong points.

My Transformer Infinity has Jelly Bean and I honestly don't see what's so much better than ICS.

Go back to worshiping Steve Jobs at boing boing or whatever that site is called.

Google has no control over that.

I thought that Apple didn't have fragmentation in their software platform ... ? Last time I checked they love to say Android is fragmented because there are devices running older versions with less functionality ... seems to me when you don't have everyone on iOS 6 at the same time you have fragmentation.

Oh, and my wife has told me she never intends to upgrade her iPad 2 to iOS 6 because she doesn't want to deal with AppleMaps or see her You Tube interface vanish.

I upgraded iPhone 4s to iOS 6 and it's flawless except of missing Google street view.

Map app generally works well and youtube app has no problems. But two iPads, we have, are staying on iOS5 for now, hopefully until Apple has a street view equivalent.

Apple, wtf with missing street view?

ICS at 23.7% and JB at 1.98%.

No wonder developers prefer iOS over Android. It's a mess.

 

[shqtth]

61% suckers.

If your business partner doesn't show up for an appointment on time and/or gets lost, chances are he is one of the 61% 😉

I just upgraded to iOS 5.1.1 yesterday after using 4.3.3 for a loooong time 😛

 

[Guest]

as expected, too. apple devices don't suffer from fragmentation
