Re: Android KitKat set to crush Apple?
#2Your skin deep assessment of the Apple model so misses the point. What's that old saying? "Less is more". Apple understands this - the Android ecosystem doesn't.

#3"The only thing iOS does to improve is steal old ideas from Android and other operating systems."
Every time I see this I get irritated. What Apple does is take technology out there and do it better than anyone else. This is why they are the most valuable company and continue to make excellent product.
When I have to deal with an Android device at the office I feel immediate disgust because they all suffer the same flaws. * An OS that can hardly run well on any hardware * Garbage build quality * Too much customization * Vendor and carrier bloat

Have you used the HTC One?
Not yet. I believe the most recent (tablet or phone) was the Nexus 2. I did hear nice things about the One however.
EDIT: I was referring to the Nexus tablet that came out not long ago (though we do have a Nexus 7 at the company also)

It was a significant improvement. Hardware was much better all around. The biggest thing for me was that even as a recent device I still see a noticeable screen lag as I scroll on it.
Of course the rest of the problems are OS-related (even vanilla).

Have you used the HTC One?
I've been using an HTC One alongside my iPhone 5 for several months. When you first see it, you think "oh, this is great hardware, it's not far off from the iPhone." But then you live with it and use it and you realize it's a far cry from Apple hardware.
One example is with the hardware buttons. They are so flush against the body (both the sleep/wake and volume), that you almost always have to look to see what you're doing. I can't blindly turn down or up the volume nor can I wake up the phone in my pocket before I take it out like I do on my iPhone.

#9iOs still has a higher adoption rate than Android.
The App Store is still number one in revenue.
No, this will not crush Apple.

#10"Google have built something technically equivalent to a trusted household brand. For starters, Android KitKat builds brand power on top of existing brand power via a licensing deal with Nestlé"
You cannot accrete X no . of brands and somehow end up with more "Brand Power" unless the optics are right.
KitKat and mobile devices are unrelated save for Googles running gag on Android code names - something which the majority of customers are not aware of and don't care about.
The author is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to support his argument.
