[QUOTE="avi, post: 1976946, member: 38834"] Here's my old rant, this applies to phones as well: I have a pretty good Android tablet, Barnes & Noble Nook Color, but after many months of usage I was hugely disappointed with Android. Or rather I say, with the Nook Color. In the beginning, it was all well and going good. It was very exciting to install CM mods and trying out other firmwares which were doing rounds on XDA-Developers forum. I was experimenting a lot with it. But one day, all of a sudden, I just got bored. I was bored to do same steps all over again in hopes of a more stable device. Seriously. Waiting for the next stable ROM to be released, installing nightlys, flashing the ROMs again and again, was really boring and tiresome. Time waste too. I was so fed up, I just stopped all that non-sense so that I can be more productive and invest my time in other work. I just wished, to have a very stable device for once and for all and which would do everything I expect to. But major problem was with Android. The sluggishness, crashes were irritating. Lack of many good games, apps optimized for tablet devices were another reasons. Customize the homescreen and lockscreen all you want, but be prepared to feel shit once you open any apps. After buying Nook Color, some 3-4 months later, I had bought myself an iPhone 4[which was kind of a quick switch from my android to iOS]. Back then, Android mobiles were sluggish, buggy, with poor battery back up and they were ugly as ****. My iPhone was doing amazingly well compared to my tablet. I started liking iOS even though it had (has) many major issues compared to Android. The user experience was just amazing. Damn thing just worked. But this was all almost 3 years ago. Android has improved a lot. And there are really beautiful looking android mobiles available (yay, finally!). Google [S]Nexass[/S] Nexus mobiles are really good (especially Nexus 4/Nexus 5). Before making any concrete decision, I tried Nexus 7 (though I was more inclined towards iPad). Performance wise it was better, but however I still felt same about it’s UX and the usual Android nuances. I don’t think Android will ever figure out that. It still sucks IMO when it comes to tablets. They just can’t get it ****ing right. With my horrible past with Android, I decided to go with iPad and give it a try. shameless plug, full review link - [url]http://blog.iavin.com/2013/12/ipad-air-first-impressions-pictures-and-review/[/url] (it's an ad free blog) [/QUOTE]
