Important

And you can put those songs on your iPod from your hard drive, or you were forced to put them into iTunes first?

That is my primary reason. Maybe that's not a good excuse anymore, but it's my excuse. Frankly, any excuse is good enough to maintain my own level of personality rather than conformity.

I'd rather have the free will to be wrong than be forced to be "right" about my multimedia compatibility. Maybe someday I'll see the Apple light and I'll eat my words. But for now, I'm perfectly happy living in my option filled, ignorant cloud.
 
I have an iphone 4s for work and a droid 3 for my personal phone. I don't like the 4s because of the screen size and when you go to type something only one-two lines are visible. I like the driod 3 because it has a key board and full use of the screen. I have not had problems with either one from a equipment standpoint.

Posted from the droid ;)

Most of the music on my ipod and iphone was gathered the same way yours was. The drm restriction was removed a long time ago.

If that's your hangup, you're behind the news. :rof:

yes, the DRM is only there on things you purchase from Itunes.

and with a jailbreak you can easily mount an iphone as a drive.

how do you think Linux nerds manage content on iphones/pads/pods?



there is no TECHNICAL reason to hate an iphone, they are good solid products.

I have idealogical reasons for my deep seated hatred of Apple, and I used to be a fan. There's still an apple logo on the MJ rear glass. Cupertino lost me about 5 years ago. They took a decided turn towards evil.
 
To quote Monty Python.

I'm not dead yet.

You soon will be.

RIM is holding on by a thread, mostly because of their international business userbase.

They are dead in another year unless they come out with something groudbreaking, but the last OS update they pitched was dismal and will be delayed significantly. They're going to miss the hliday shopping season with their next release. I'd expect a bankruptcy announcement sometime next year unless they can get the gubmint in the great white north to hand them another pile o cash.

The only Apple product I have is an iPod that stays in my XJ connected to the radio.

BTw, Blackberry is still around, but who knows how much longer. Their stock has gone from 160 a share to 7 a share in five years. Androids pretty much killed them.

IMO, it's more than just Android. RIM really has managed to fundamentally miss some serious enterprise business issues. At the moment, IBM is interested in their enterprise business, I'm sort of interested as to what they'd do with it, IBM doesn't have a hardware platform for client access.
 
You guys better quit talking nerd or im gonna haffa post some bacon or something on here

Which is a metric ton more than trying to make my blackberry work for 90 minutes a day on the telephone with an overseas call center who doesn't speak english.

I played the "I won't get an Apple product because I don't want to be like everyone else" for a long time. People can do what they want. Just make sure the comparisons and conclusions that you're drawing have basis. If you've never owned an iphone, how the hell do you know?

I've owned every type of phone that came out over the past 12 years, including droids. None of them do what my iphone does with the relative ease of operation that it does it with.

YMMV.

you know what I like about my droid?

My GPS navigation talks to me (and has since several years ago - even my ancient G1 did 2-3 years ago), a good friend of mine who has an iphone and makes fun of android all the time did nothing but complain that his damn phone wouldn't read turn by turn directions to him while driving, forcing him to look at the screen.

I checked and it looked like Apple has introduced a "groundbreaking new feature" that handles this on some phones, but not older ones, I guess it's like when they finally "invented" the multi button mouse.
 
I "benchmarked" Android Car Nav against my Garmin 1490t a little over a year ago. While ACN will get you there, it just beat the daylights out of my A855. It was actually draining the battery faster than the car charger could deliver. It also came up with decidedly non-optimal routing. It'll get you there, but I'd much rather use a dedicated GPS.
 
It does a hell of a lot better than my last crummy GPS did, that's for sure. I was almost glad when that thing got stolen.

Never had issues with battery life on my droid3 while GPSing, the older android phones were a lot more power hungry though. Hell I went and mapped some trails last night using Open GPS Track on my droid3 and an hour or two of driving with the GPS and screen turned on only used about 20% of my battery with no charger plugged in.

edit: I just noticed that I left the GPS tracker on my phone running by accident actually. It hasn't been on the charger since 11 (6 hours ago) and still has something like 90% battery remaining. I'm honestly surprised by that.

Speaking of laughing, where's Customizer been?

It's a phone.

If I want something to read me turn by turn directions, I use the garmin mounted on the windshield. ;)

To each his own. I just don't appreciate being called a conformist because I like one companies products over another companies products. I think plugging my device in and using itunes to manipulate it is the easiest way to control the media on the device. If you don't think so, cool.
