I know I do a lot of comparisons of specific smartphones and many of them pit Apple’s latest iPhone to the latest and great Android phones on the market.
While hardware specs, screen sizes, and resolution all do have an effect on the user experience, the biggest differences are in the operating systems themselves.
So I thought I’d do a detailed comparison video comparing Google’s Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) against Apple’s iOS 5.
It’s about 20 minutes long and I go into detail about things like:
- Cloud Services
- Visual Voicemail
- Flagship Apps and App Stores
- Voice Control
- Navigation
- Video Chat
- Instant Messaging / Text Messaging
- Mobile Payments / NFC Chips (Near Field Communications)
- Customization Options / Creativity
- Facial Recognization
- Location Awareness
- Adobe Flash and HTML 5
- and a few tips for those considering switching – Constrained vs Confused
