You're are missing an important fact, browsing on a large screen phone is as easy as using a 6,7,8" tablet so users are more than likely sharing their browsing over several devices. I know I do

Look at my figures, same across the internet. Android users don't use Android devices.

I not sure what the point is, maybe, ladies that do dinner own ipads than android??

Ok let's stop this crap right now. If you want to compare market shares do it based on an individual product, i.e. iPhone 5 vs GS4 vs Lumia. Of course Android has achieved a higher market share than apple, it's an operating system used by more companies than I can be arsed to count.

Ummm that's not jacks interest at all,he's most intrested in why the world isn't completely sold on iOS, or whatever it's callled

JackClark

You've got me wrong, I couldn't give a rats **** what phone you use. I'm here to add some sanity to a forum full of Fandroid misinformation.

I have to say I have not used Android, but I have an HP Elite pad running Windows 8 and it is a total joke compared to this Ipad

Horses for courses and for no fuss sofa surfing the IPad/iOS is streets ahead of Windows 8

We bought an ipad last Christmas, I agree it's the best of the tablets, but its not without its faults and I haven't been as impressed as I thought I'd be. Safari locks up and crashes on a pretty routine basis, despite a soft reset. We've encountered a number of websites where the ipad doesn't function properly, usually when trying to order or buy something. I expected the ipad to make my laptop redundant for surfing but this hasn't been the case.
I could manage without the ipad, but I couldn't manage without my laptop.

They synch with our Macs, they can be instantly set up from iCloud if you break one and need a replacement, everything just works.

Android is a faffy PITA aimed at geeks. It's geeks that bang on and on about how much better anything but Apple is. Meanwhile others just get on, happy with what they chose.

Marketing has naff all to do with our move from Android/PC to iPhone/Mac - we changed because the Apple stuff works better with our business. The only thing I still don't get is the tablet market - I see no point whatsoever and have zero desire for an iPad or similar.

Makes 2 of us, although the HP Envy II and Asus Transformer have some appeal.

Although everything you said about the ipad is equally true of an Android device and Google Cloud.

JackClark

I've seen lots of people go from 'no point' to 'no laptop' with the iPad.

dpb

Suckered into buying one since it was reasonable price* and desktop was dying/dead. Of course it doesn't replace it and I probably need laptop as well, but in meantime I can do almost everything with just this and the phone










*Clearly not an ipad

JackClark

If you'd have said that a few years ago you'd have been called an idiot, I certainly was.

dpb

Point is though, you still need a proper computer as well


And also a slightly bigger phone would I reckon replace the tablet

JackClark

I don't need a slightly bigger phone because I have an iPad. Used a S4 today, whilst very nice it was a bit too 'in between' for me.

I definitely need a Laptop, I develop web sites so have to see them as the customers do, but there are just as many tasks I can do on my Tablet that I can't do on my Laptop.

I have to say that has NOT been my experience, it has been quite stable

Maybe try the Mercury browser (quite good, and can be configured to destroy ALL browsing history when closed, quite useful when using he wife's iPad)

But I am always v wary of updating the OS
