Yeah I got a text from my iPhone friend bragging about it but I told him to get 2.1 then brag.
It would be cool to have iPhone on G1 but I don't see that coming at all.
English plz?

Or to get that running as fast as it is on the G1. Sad that it runs slower...

It's amusing, but...
This isn't Development. It would be more fitting in the General section. Sorry to be a buzz-kill, but this kind of stuff usually gets people flamed.
(for the record, iPhone can suck it.)

I could see the iPhone getting faster on Android once more devs look at it and piece it together. It has to be possible to port iPhone to Android to bad I have no development skills or I would give it a go.

If you believe something is in the wrong section, is it not easier to just ignore the post? Or must you, inform people they're posting in the "wrong" section? What's the big deal. Read what's written, if it holds no interest for you, keep it movin. If you find it interesting, and you "believe" it's in the wrong section, keep it movin. What's hard about that? Ur the type to report **** is in the wrong sections as you come across stuff aren't you? People like you are Computer Commandos. Leave the Moddin 2 da MODS.
Thanks. Take Care.

Im sorry but android is far better then iphone os and this is coming from a person that paid about $4000 in mac stuff

I love how people say the iphone sucks yet really what can android do that iphone can't they can Run our os cydia is the best thing ever better battery huge memory way more reliable awsome music player awsome gaming better keyboard haha list goes on and on

This is not G1 nor Development related (not directly as it's just news) so I moved it to the general android forum.

Cydia: We don't need another Market when ours doesn't reject things.
Battery- Really? Have you EVER used a Nexus?
Memory- That is, until you fill it up
Music Player- No doubt, Android is getting better ones but the iPhone's is still top notch
Gaming- That's what happens when you're a year ahead of the competition, but yes, I feel it has better games (Even if I don't play any)
Batter Keyboard- This is subjective, the ONLY thing I feel it has Android beaten in is responsiveness (And this is due to the touchscreen, not the actual keyboard)

If not cydia rock millions of free apps once hacked u can't fill up the memory my wife a 16 gig and hsnt filled up half her memory with all the movies music and apps the keyboard is more responsive millions of themes everything an android can do so can iphone I wish there a way to flash roms on an iphone

I don't see why having the phone hacked or not gives more memory, it was 16gb before and after. Well, when someone has 1000's of songs, the 16gb fills up rather quickly, so just because she has over half left doesn't mean everyone does.
You tend to have more things when you are tending to a larger user base, so having millions of themes is nice, but you're only ever going to use one at a time.
I still don't see why cydia and rock are being brought into this, they're a market for things that were/will be rejected from the App store the Android Market does NOT suffer from this (Except in things like pornography or malicious/illegal items).

All I know is that this is good news for many and I hope development continues, I like the Iphone OS very much including android and winmo 7.

the day i get an iphone is the day it multitasks, has real keyboard, lets me watch porn when my girl is being stingy and selfish with her vagina, on top of it all... run an android os. sooo in the words of my good man :"iphone can suck iiiiiiiit"

Why are you defending that iCraP!!..................
Just playing but, why compare Iphone/touch to Android... Android will always come out on top.... and if you don't like Android why not get an IPhone...

I agree .I have a Touch HD and an Iphone 3GS both are good phones being made better by the developers on here and people over at Devteam. It seems a little immature to be slagging one off against another

If you want a phone that can play music, videos, and games, I'll grant than an iPhone is your best bet.
If you want a phone with a large high-res screen, hardware keyboard, expandable storage, TRUE multi-tasking, as well as an impressive bag of tricks (tethering, WiFiRouter, etc.) that can be had without voiding your warrantee, the iPhone would certainly not fit the bill.
Just saying that there are plenty of things an iPhone cannot do, even with jailbreaking. The day some mad dev manages to port iPhone OS to an HTC keyboard phone, I will gladly eat my words. Until then, enjoy your iPhone for what it is, a Portable Media Player. The rest of us will keep happily haxing away on our Mini Computers.

[Q] It is real? iOS on HTC

I'm pretty sure it's not the iOS but an Android ROM that is similar in layout and design to it. I'm guessing this is the MUIU ROM but I'm not too sure.

I don't think so. I used Muui a couple of weeks. This lookes slightly different. It really lookes like iOs 4. Would be awsomes if u could access the whole appstore on Your magic or hd2. And the touchscreen interpretation of the iOs is still the best i think.
Woa! think of driver related real multitouch (more than 2 actions at the same time on 4.3 inch)
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

It's a little different then the muiu Rom but what's funny is the apps that they go in to they could of gone in to apps that would show it is ios like music or better yet the app store but they don't.... even at the end he has his figure over the Player and then goes back finance

Is anyone else besides me impressed at that video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY-uRRCARJw&feature=player_embedded
It really looks like IOS 4. It really does. Unless that is one hell of a good/baddass skin/theme.
What really bothers me was that half of the video was him moving icons around and that was it! That was it? It was!
I am no iphone user, but can anyone verify if the way things move, windows open, text, etc in that video.... are they indicative of the real thing?
maybe he opened up that white phone and just put an iphone under the hood. iono.. what do you think?
Last question: where is the original source? I would like to know.

thats definately iOS

Asians are always ahead of other Android users...
Whatever it is, either iOS or damn good theme, it looks great!

No it's not iOS, it's a very well done fake, if I recall correctly they used a theme.
iOS is not *ever* going to be available on any device Apple does not intend to have it.
Technically, it's possible if someone rewrites the code from scratch or manages to get hold of the code somehow (and even then it won't be a breeze), but the chance of this happening is just so incredibly small that really there's no point in waiting or hoping. Just go ahead and enjoy Android, Gingerbread is about to be released and it's gonna kick some major ass!

FAKE! half the animations are missing and ios doesnt scroll the wallpaper like android (i have an ipod touch)

Leaving Android... Any thought what logical choice is?

Hey Guys im done with Android, i found it very disapointing. The applications and devs just arent there. And if they are some games etc apps are meant for a specific resolution...ie: gameloft games!
Im on verizon and left ATT because of to many dropped calls. But I loved the Iphone...do i wait for iphone on verizon or go windows mobile phone 7.
Android was awesome for what it was... but there was nothing of value in the market. Atleast for me.

If there was no apps in the Android market for you then you will be really disappointed in the WP7 market. It sounds to me like you need to wait for the Verizon iPhone.

I was thinking the same thing blazingwolf.... but i wanted something different. But i guess different isnt always best for some people.
PLus I know wp7 is coming in january for verizon, but if i wait for iphone God knows when its coming to verizon.
I guess im stuck in a waiting game. Thanks!!!!

go with the iPhone, it'll satisfy you more than anything else.
I currently have an N900 running Android, Maemo and Meego. I also have an iPod Touch 4th Gen, and to be honest I use my iPod Touch more than anything else. All the apps/games i play on the go are all on my iPod Touch, i barely use my N900 other than txt or make phone calls.
I had a HTC Touch PRO and wasted so much time with installing custom ROMS and all these other stuff (I was using Energy ROM and always up to date until a few months ago where I sold my Touch Pro) and to be honest, it's just not as fun as owning an iDevice. That's my personal opinion and preference anyway.
I'm not an Apple fanboy either, I will never go for the iPhone coz it's way to expensive and I only go for phones with a qwerty keyboard. But my point is, judging from what you're looking for I say the iPhone is definitely the best choice.
Windows Phone 7 seems promising and I've been following and keep up to date with it since it was announced, I know all about the latest phones running Windows Phone 7. But I don't think it'll do well. Ur better off with the iPhone since u can just get everything straight from the go, not to mention you can jailbreak it (which is ridiculously easy btw) and install even more tweaks and stuff on it, and "FREE" apps and games (if you know what i'm talking about *wink*).
For Android, it's the same *wink* *wink* but the contents aren't as fresh and popular as what the AppStore and the jailbreaking scene or Cydia offers. Trust me, u'll have TONS of fun with so many apps/games for the iPhone. I have like 30GB+ worth lol.
But at least u have an Android phone. I'm sick of my N900 already and wanna get a Desire Z....

Yeah guys thanks for the input, im gonna wait for the iphone. Its my best bet. Thanks again for the opinions!!!
What i learned is a OS is only as good as the applications!!

well that's the thing, iOS itself wouldn't be good if it weren't for the APP Store and 300,000+ developers backing it up. Let alone the jailbreaking scene, there're tons of *special forums* *wink* if you know what i'm talking about. There're literally hundreds of repos out there, u can find anything u want so easily.
I think one of the strong points about the iDevices is that they all use the same firmware. There're no custom firmwares or anything so everyone focus their development and support etc on the same thing. Not like Windows Mobile or Android where we have tons of stuff everywhere for different devices, and then there're sub-sections for custom firmwares specific for those devices and so on........I'm not saying that's bad but to newcomers that just started with all this, it's a bit of a cluster-fuk and confusing to find what you need.
I have used many OS platforms and almost all the top brands out there, and I can definitely tell u that iOS is the most straightforward and simplest to use from experience.

well dude wherever you go be sure to send a postcard about how much you miss is back here rofl

Windows phone 7 UI - am i the only one who dislikes it?

As i'm seeing all the love for Windows Phone 7, and honestly, i just don't get it. I've used WP7 display devices, i just really don't like the UI, I fail to see the appeal. I understand how tiles and app hubs and everything work, but, as i said, i just don't see the appeal. And now with Windows 8 coming out, more people love the metro tiles. I just don't get it.
Am i the only one who dislikes the Metro Tiles UI? It often feels like it, especially over on cnet >_>

I actually like the WP7 Metro UI but I'm not sure about win8. Not really liking the metro ui cover over win7.

It's more about the elegance and simplicity of operation. WP7 just is the smoothest, leanest, cleanest mobile OS yet. And the style I liked from long before it was released. It's one of those fashion things, I think, that either people will love or hate it. I just happen to be in the camp of those who love it. It's different than all the others and comes from MS.
My opinion is it will become a leading system in a while.

Couldn't have said it better myself, my friend! It's extremely clean and smooth. Very fast and beautiful UI. It's pretty simple, but still nice looking. I don't think it'll be the leading OS, but that doesn't mean that it isn't good. I am happy because when I do get my next phone, I will have plenty of choices!

Time will tell. MS even said they will be ruling the mobile OS market by such and such date, which I can't remember. That doesn't mean they are toking a little too heavily on the wacky weed, but you never know.
WP7 actually shows that "different" can be done properly. A lot of people moan and groan that there really isn't any way to make things different. Case in point: Apple sues Samsung over the UI of their phones because they aren't different enough. Then people complain that the icons are icons and you really can't make it different. MS just did. MS made a completely different system and an excellent one that I feel is better than iOS.

Wp7 is good imho, but it's insane to waste an eventual 4.3" screen with just very few tiles, it kinda kills the point of having a good screen...at least on android you can fill it with all sort of widgets, icons and crap. "Minimal" style, tho many might like it, is not good for any os that wants to become mainstream (imho), especially because you can't change the appearence in any way...

The tiles can be live. They are meant to be more than simple icons. They are meant to be able to show up-to-date information and provide immediate visual access to the underlying app.

Nope, your not the only one that dislikes it.
I gather from the fact that sales of WP7 are disastrous, and there's hundreds of new WP7 devices at fire sale prices on just about every online auction site, it would be logical to deduce the majority don't like it, as that is the first thing that hits you in the face.
If it IS implemented on W8, it better be able to be disabled, because I'll jam toothpicks in my eyes before using that **** on a desktop, bad enough wasting space with overgrown idiot squares on a handheld without castrating efficient use of a desktop.

Personal choice. Android interface to me is basically SPB mobile shell and iOS is what it is. After many years of using the plain WM interface all of them are an upgrade. I like the way the WP7 interface can be expanded and integrated while maintaining versatility. In fact the whole OS is a best of all worlds of Android, iOS and WM with the Mango update. While not as open as WM or open source at all like Andoid, it is a great mix of the freedoms of those systems and stability of iOS without feeling like you have a "dumb" machine.

I had thought we'd left CGA colours back in the early 80s where they belong, but MS had other ideas.
It's a duplo phone that managed to halve Microsoft's market share.
Yup, twice as many people preferred WM6.5 which tells you how bad WP7 really is.
Sure you'll get die hards trying to convince the world that they haven't made a mistake in choosing a WP7, they'll deny that the transitions are there to just hide the lag and actually make everything long winded, they'll try and claim lists are so much better than nice finger sized icons, or that some basic feature it is missing (that your cheapo phone 10 years ago had as standard) will come in the next update, or the one after that, or the one after that, or somewhen in the possible future.

I agree with you. It's kinda ok how it functions but I don't see the appeal in it or the "fun factor" of like Android.

I personally like the idea of a smooth and fluent idea, especially because it doesn't try to copy the iPhone. But besides all the smoothness it is very, very limited and too simple for my taste.

maybe they want to look more professional ..... i think....but for me its Simple i like it..

Android or iOS? Which do you prefer?

Im just curious how many of you out there would recommend an iPhone over an Android phone or an Android over an iPhone. After being an iOS user since 09 and recently switching to Android, I would actually say that Android is my favorite. Just because of all the customization options I have and all the things I can do that I could of never done with an iPhone (even when jailbroken). Now I'd like to hear your opinion.

IOS.
Android FTW!

agreed with android ftw..
i do enjoy reponsiveness of ios and polished look. it just looks "nice"
but android ftmfw..
my friend had an iphone 4 and we jailbroke it and he was showing all the cool things you can do with jailbroken phones..
i was like wait.... what? my phone could do this before it was even rooted.
makes me sad that ios has sooo many features just "missing" that phones should have. or be able to do. i guess thats why its not open sources... =\

Actually I like iOS 'cause it's so stable and really really easy , thus leaving it for all ages to use. But it's really limited and therefore you jailbreak.
Android on the other hand is a very good OS too! It's very very versatile and you can custom it like you want. The only thing with Android is that it's kind of messy.
So to conclude iOS is an OS that you'll find attractive in first look and some months to come. Android is an OS that grows on you and you'll love it in the long-run.

Has anyone seen iOS5? Apple obviously stole almost every new feature from the jailbreak community then they stole notifications from Android. They need to come up with their own ideas.

They do that quite often! Same happend with iOS 4 with the wallpaper and multi tasking

I suspect you're going to get android as the majority answer here.
I'm over the ios>android or android> ios. They're different beasts with great qualities all around. I think ios is a simpler os in that really anyone can use it. At the same time, android's strength comes in its flexibility and customization. This doesn't suite everyone because really the majority of people just want an easy button. They can find that in android, they just don't have the patience to look.

I wouldn't neccesarily say that Apple stole multitasking from another OS/Device because its different. I mean, come on, its fake. I wouldn't say Apple stole the homescreen wallpapers either. Its an image that doesn't move and it isn't live. Basically, it makes it look a little better. No biggy.

If you want to use your phone as a phone with a little web browsing and a little Angry Birds playin', get iOS because its simple. If you want to make your phone the way you want it and you like customization, freedom, and the ability to to almost anything with your phone, get Android. =)

I would really like Ios, it's not a bad OS. Multitask, runs pretty decent, huge app store, but there are a couple reasons why I'm not on ios.
Flash, I use flash on my phone all the time. Keeps me entertained.
Screen size, 3.5" is too small for me.
Carrier, I'm on Sprint dammit.

I use an iPhone for the reliability of it. And because currently it's the only phone I have with FFC. I also use an Android phone because of the enjoyment of it and apps. I feel my Inspire is smoother and nicer than my iPhone, but not as reliable. The screen isn't nearly as good as the iPhone 4's, either.
I also use a WP7 device and feel WP7 will overtake bother other formats eventually. It's that good.
But right now I don't leave the house without my iPhone. I feel secure in the knowledge I can get ahold of someone shuld the need arise. My Inspire almost got my family and I lost once due to a malfunctioning compass and non-functioning nav.

Almost exact sentiment, except in reverse. My trusty Eris does all my heavy lifting for work-related tasks while my iPhone is my gps/playtoy. Haven't gotten my hands on a windows phone yet but they certainly are sounding more and more attractive these days!

iOS is too newbie friendly for me, no offence to the people on here btw, you guys are awesome
I went Android because I don't follow Iphone/Blackberry trends and I love it now

Thats a nice OS but a WP7 phone at work somehow got a virus and it wouldbt let the phone do anything and all it did when you turned it in was show a big smiley face with the bird finger. XD

So yeah unlike allot here i won't go FU on iOS.
Here is my subjective list of pro & contra for both systems.
Mind you i have used both.
iOS​PLUS:
Stable
For it's money a well running piece of software built on that specific hardware
Fast
Simple to use
Design = top notch
Good service and reliable
Contra:
Hard to modify the feel of the OS
Forced to stay with all apple software (unless jailbroken) to downlaod upload music,etc..
Easy to jailbrake but still a challenge
Android​PLUS:
Easy to use
Smooth and stable
Easy to modify and root
Customizable to a great extend
Perfectly combined with all Google products
Good service and help from google with personal calls explaining things
Contra:
Default FM can hang once in a while
Without root no way to do much or change much
Easier battery drain (personal opinion)
No updates for all the phone due to builds and limitations ( this is because there are so many companies producing Androids but all with different specs)
WP7​Well really don't have much usage experience i did boot the emulator to check it out. Can't say it's ugly but doesn't look appealing either.
I believe that the OS probably is decent but it doesn't beg me to try it out
I think the WP7 is a good phone matching all other MS products. Like Xbox to phone connections and with Win8 it will be easy to look things up on your PC and share it with your phone if you godda go real quick. Win8 get's the same WP7 overlay.
All in all no real user experience so won't brake it down.
I believe it's a small correct list.
I can't say i hate either one of them but currently running android. Feels a Little slower then iOS but my biggest plus is all my Google Docs,Searches,G+,Mail,Pic are easy to acces with simple clicks from your phone.
Who the best is?
Think both are worth as much but if you like to mess around with your phone i would advise the android OS. Also you are more free to choose a phone to your liking then being forced a same look like the guy next to you in the train has.
