Apple iOS 7 out...

Apple Releases iOS 7.0.2 minor update for your iPhone and iPad.

Pulser: maybe you should read before posting. I only posted about 3 things on the article. I. Never commented on their ratings, or if i thought them over all right or wrong.
I think if they were comparing OS s, they should,have put Nexus in there, don't you?
So do i take it that you think everything about the ios7 is perfect? How about other tech writers complaints?

And so it goes....
The inevitable conclusion of another Apple post.
Six pages this time before it imploded, not bad.

Too bad there wasn't an update to fix grumpiness. :W

Funny Pulsar. The comparison is about smartphones. I posted about some things that I didn't like about IOS on an IPad. I am not sure, but I think there are a few differences and of course the comparisons than would be with Nexus the originator of Android.
But look at this comment about Samsung, (I couldn't copy and past it) too many options and two App stores. No comment about why, which is because Google owns Android and has many apps that run on the Samsung and didn't need to put them in two stores. Also, interestingly, that has been one of Apples touts, the many Apps available.
There complaints about IOS7 are very similar to mine. The inadvertent popup of the keyboard and the control center are two of them.
The other comment is about Apps also, and that it is overwhelming for casual users. Has anyone ever found a casual user on a smart phone? Everyone I know has Apps up the yingyang.

To some: I didn't start the comparison of the stock value of Apple and the IOS. That of course doesn't make any sense. So I think I can make more nonsense about the value of the Android using companies and Apple. Of course it is totally irrelevant.

My views correspond to many other views on the internet from technical writers/users. Even my little tiny one about the indicator for charging makes the top ten.

I am not sure what the posting about searching the net for apps was about about I thank you anyway. I use the apps store on the Ipad to find Apps, not a net search. And it takes a lot of time to find some Apps. Actually I might use the net to find Apps, maybe it is easier, will see.

I still find the 'why do you own an Ipad' comment to be funny. I have some issues with Windows, Walmart, Target, Grocery stores, etc. I still use them. With Windows, when I find something I don't like, for instance WMP, or CD writing, or Browser, uninstaller, defrag, etc I get something else that I repeat I like better.

I'm sorry, I don;t even have time to read your entire post but I must comment on the part. (And I don't even understand this "I am not sure, but I think there are a few differences and of course the comparisons than would be with Nexus the originator of Android." )

The comparison is about operating systems, not hardware, and the issues I recall from your post were operating systems situations. The Pfeiffer Consulting report goes though some detail as to how they tried to remove (loyalty) bias from the report and explicitly states that they are not dealing with the hardware.

I am sure that many users of mobile operating systems can find fault with some of the features of their favorite one. If your wish to work in negative terms, the Pfeiffer Consulting report concludes that there are less irritating factor with iOS u7 than there are with other mobile OS's, if bias is removed.

Just found a bug..
Reading and posting this on IOs7, and the Safari graphics are jammed into and mixing with the iPad/ wifi, cell icons on the left, clock, and the other icons on the right.

A restart will probably fix it.... Just like everything MS and Blackberry

It is funny to see someone who is swimming in Microsoft kool-aid comment about those he thinks drink Apple's kool-aid.

Anyway if one would like to read how an independent firm, Pfeiffer Consulting, rates the mobile operating systems, you can read an overview here Smartphone OS User Experience Shootout. You can also download their full report from the same page.

The systems rated are:

iOS 7, iOS 6, Android (Samsung's variant), Windows Phone 8, and Blackberry 10.

Downloaded it on the road with a rare good Internet connection.

The new camera zoom & easy panning made it worth the upgrade.

To say Android is out selling IOS is like saying foreign cars are outselling Ford.
