I tried someones iPhone today
It was only the ordinary iPhone 3G (not even the 3GS)
And also tried someones iPod Touch
Verdict of GUI and usability of both: awesome, absolutely drop dead awesome!
I'm not a super expert on Android phones by any means
I've use Mini Pulse, HTC Tattoo and Xperia X10
I love these phones for the extra functionality you can get as opposed to other phones
(My vote for the best application ever goes to Google Navigation - but that's a different topic in itself!)
Question: Why is Android lacking in the GUI and usability department?
Using the iPhone: wow! It's *just* the subtle things, like how you go from one screen to another - that's it!! I probably can't comment on anything else
I'd also add that the dragging seemed sooo natural
And heck: I could type on the screen using the keyboard!
On the damn Xperia X10 (with the whopping GIANT screen, typing is a painful experience vertically - and only marginally better when horizontal)
The interface of the Apple: must have been dreamed up by a genious
But why isn't it copied on the Android??
I'm sure Apple can't have a patent on the menu screens and how they flip from one screen to another?
I can't see any excuse!
God Bless Google for bringing Android to the world
But heck, it's not exactly special!
The only thing going for it is: it's free and lots of phones have it + has Google applications integrated
I'd stretch my neck out to say that Microsoft could have brought out a better interface
Yeee haaaa... I'm off to buy an iPhone!
Erm... actually no... I'll stick to Android
The only thing stopping me is: money
It's not so much the affordability for me, but rather not wanting to pay
