Steve Jobs vowed to 'destroy' Android

Steve Jobs vowed to 'destroy' Android.

BBC News Technology:

"Steve Jobs said he wanted to destroy Android and would spend all of Apple's money and his dying breath if that is what it took to do so."

I think no one with an IQ will do it.

 

I reckon Apple would rule anyway if anyone could actually afford to buy their products.

 

After using Android smartphones the past few years and recently switching to Apple iPhone 4S, I can honestly say that the iPhone is vastly superior to any Android device I have ever used....and it's not even close.

There is no comparison IMO.

R.I.P. Steve

Read the comments and know the real apple u hypocrite apple fanboys

 

I only wish I could afford to be an Apple fanboy.

 

With Android selling 2 to 1 over iPhone, not likely to happen.

A fun and relevant video featuring Jobs.

 

I read somewhere that the magin behind Steve and Apple was that he could make you spend 10 bucks on a $5 dollar bill with some glitter on it... which is actually true.
Now, Android has the power of a huge development staff behind it, while Apple has a geat marketing team. There's no comparison, one is good at selling you technology, the other one is good at developing technology.

 

So Apple's no good at developing technology?

 

Glad you're enjoying your iPhone. Care to say more about why it's superior? I currently have an android OS phone and it meets my needs just fine. My only experience with iOS is on the Mac and it doesn't make sense to me, but since I'm a long time Windows user that's probably to be expected. If you can do everything you want to with a device in a way that is clear and efficient it's not likely that anything else will seem "vastly superior". And in case it's not clear note I'm not invested. I'll happily switch to what I feel is better down the road.

 

IT's certainly better than Android in terms of security. In terms of what I want to do with my phone I guess they're about equal. I hav ea rooted android but I don't really need it all that much - I mostly just use it as a phone now. I just have root for overclocking.

 

U can certainly do a hell lot more with android then apple - customization , custom roms , widgets , lwp , themes etc

 

It's certainly more customizable. I just don't care too much about that and I think it's the same for a lot of people.

If you want customizable OS, yep, Android's for you. If you want something simple and secure iOS.

 

its good at developing better what others have already developed

 

if u dont care too much for customization and are just gonna use a phone for simple things id say investing in iphone is bad choice

 

I can not customize my phone and still make use of applications. The two are 100% entirely different.

 

ya i know..i was sticking to first part...coz apps are available for all platforms

 

I dare say Apple won't "destroy" anything now, with exception of whatever plans Steve left behind (which by all reports is quite a few plans). Call me a pessimist, but I think the "magic" of Apple died with Steve. I see Tim Cook as a businessman, not an innovator. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

Not as good as selling it.

I kinda disagree, I mean there's been cases on both ways. They took something from others, just as others had taken stuff from them.

 

Says the dead dictator hell-bent on monopoly.

 

How many Android devices are there to the iPhone?

Flawed statistics.

 

Literally irrelevant. There could be 1million android devices. The operating system is still selling.

 

Plenty to be the best mobile operating system out there and the highest market share in thw world

 

yes but the way apple is on to destroying android its as if they never stole anything and created everything...
