Post your comments for Five hot iPhone apps that Android still lacks here

[redgeminipa]

It doesn't matter if Android has many of the great apps or not. The problem was stated by Epic Games... Android's fragmentation is the problem for any developer who really cares about user experience across devices. With so many hardware & software configurations on Android devices, it's very hard for a good developer to deliver a solid piece of software to work properly on a large variety of devices.

Pinterest is a tool for girls that rearrange pictures of cupcakes they want to eat. I understand how how it works, but I don't understand it.

I beleive that statement. I love and prefer my Android devices(yes devices) over an iPhone or iPad anyday mostly because of Apples crAPP store purchasing model. BUT, what Apple has done best is keeping the iOS line to a minumum of devices and keeping tight controls on the OS and deployment, something you cannot do with the Android which could lead to its demise. I just don't like Apple getting in the way if I want to get a FREE app! or other items i want to put on my devices.

Also a major factor I've have seen with Android is people rushing out to purchase sub $200.00 version2.Xos tablets and expecting an iPad or Android experience, only to be let down. I spent $260.00 on my Acer A100 and does just about everything the guy sitting next to me does with his iPad2! If you want a good Android device, you still gotta spend some money, and get a quality name brand device.

How about Google FINALLY comes out with some DECENT APIs for Android so that Android devices FINALLY have audio latencies as low as iOS devices, so that users can CREATE music in real time with Android instead of just consuming it?

WAKE UP GOOGLE--GIVE A DAMN ABOUT MUSICIANS LIKE APPLE DOES.

Do you understand that the iPhone and apps that run on it weren't developed just for you?

Not sure I follow. What about the Android purchasing model is better?

The biggest improvements I'd like to see is to allow for businesses to purchase for employees (we don't have that outside the US) and family pricing so I can say purchase for everyone in my family, but let them download and update using their apple id.

As far as I know, Android phones don't have that either.
