Privacy and Security Fanatic: Woz on smartphones: Wishes his iPhone could do all his Android can

Interesting article! He prefers the Razr over the Gnex too

Interesting he likes the Razr more as ICS borrows a couple things from iOS. Maybe it's the thinness of the Razr that makes up for other things...

Also could be that since they are both very close in a lot of regards, having one already might mean that he would have his familiarity with that, and not see a pressing desire to go to something else. Still a cool read though. It just is nice to see someone with Apple Ties (ok, I know, it's a stretch, but still), keeping an open mind with Android, and not instantly hating on it. Instead, he embraces it's strong points, and that's really what it's about. Not everything will be perfect. Some phones will be better at some things than others. Doesn't always mean one is always the best and one the worst. Recognizing that different phones exist, different people use them, and to each their own with preferences and likes.

How is that a stretch? He is the co-founder of Apple.

Every computer I own and use a work is a Mac. I love the computers. I don't ever want an iphone or an ipod though and don't really use iTunes like they want me to. LOVE my Android phones. It's really not that hard to like each for what they are.

Although he did co-found Apple...his involvement ended with the Apple II...and basically was not really involve much with Apple after 1983...he was considered at that time as a midlevel engineer. In 1987, he formally ended his full-time job with Apple...but he remains on as an employee and gets a token paycheck.

He and Jobs never really got along after Apple was made official.

If he likes the Razr so much, then why is the iPhone still his primary phone?

I am just glad that he can be honest with the world about his opinions. Everyone acts like its high treason for him to like a lot of things about Android. Eh, not so much.
