re: This striking iOS 8 concept highlights how outdated iOS really is

What do you mean by "complete and total sync"?
Calendars, pictures, contacts, music, email, synced across at least three devices natively. I'm sure android phones and system can do it, but it's just not part of a native ecosystem.

G+ auto photo backup does the same. And Auto-Awesome really is pretty awesome.
I mean that's great and all, I'm just saying I can take a picture from my phone and without me doing anything it's immediately on four other devices. That goes for pictures, calendars, music, and anything else. Like I said, I'm sure android may have a feature that does that as well, but I just like the way Apple has designed it more. It's just way cleaner and smoother in general and I place a priority on that.
I should have known this board was basically just going to be a Droid vs Apple battleground. Which is completely unnecessary. Having owned both, I've just come to appreciate the way one designs their overall product more. I don't know why that's a bad thing. You guys who always say "oh well android does that too" I mean, well, that's great. But that's not gonna make me switch from a near perfect setup.

quote:Same here. As soon as (well, at least within seconds or minutes) I take a photo on my phone, I can access it on my tablet, computer, or any device that can log into my google account. Same with calendars, add an event on any device, it shows up on every device, and my phone notifies me when it's time to start heading to the event. When my wife adds an event to our shared calendar, my phone still tells me when it's time to leave, and offers to map the trip with one click. It's all really seamless. Same with Music.. I buy a song, it's playable anywhere. Also, any time I search for a place on my desktop, my phone immediately offers to map a route to it, no extra steps.

Are you a girl? Or just a young hipster that still thinks Apple is cool? Or over 30?
Because honestly, the only people I ever see with iPhones that are tech people, are either huge fanboys and/or hipsters.
The rest are 13-25 year old girls and older less tech people.
If you fit into any of those categories, then disregard. If not, it's time to switch. Sell your Apple TV for a Chromecast+Fire TV or Roku or whatever else fits that need, you can keep the Mac since you already overpaid for the name and mediocre hardware, sell the phone and get the Nexus 5 for $300 unlocked, or the SG5, or LG G3, sell the tablet and get the Tab Pro or Note Pro, and never look back.
It's really not all that hard, you can do it!

I'm having a little trouble with this statement. Are you suggesting that you like the iOS version more than the version that you don't know whether or not it exists, or did you mean something else?
ETA- other fine points all around, for the most part.
