That's quite some horse-shit you're spouting. iOS6 a 'year behind'? What competition? What the hell does tightly packed mean? God know what happens when Google will unveil jellybean? I know, it will take a year for it to get 10% marketshare of Android devices. Apple should be worried about Jellybean, why exactly? ICS has done nothing to stunt iPhone, nor will jellybean. As for WP8, it's wait an see at this point, as anything would be better than the absolutely dismal performance of WP7. You're insane.
omg.. stop.. I am crying because I am laughing so hard.
is it just me or are other people thinking that Google really needs to come up with a more professional code name conventions for OS versions.. I mean.. come on. Its getting really bad. How can one talk smack and back up something called "Jelly Bean" with a straight face? MS in their infinite wisdom is following Android's lead.. Mango.. Brilliant.
I saw someone else post that side by side image of a screen a few days, but I wasn't clear then on what it was supposed to evidence of and I'm still not. No doubt I'm missing something so could you point it out?
The photo shows that Android hasn't really changed too much on the surface.
While Android is super-customizable... it has shipped in the same default state for years. Most people don't spend their time rearranging widgets and such anyway... but there are still plenty of improvements that were made to ICS.
And when people mention Jelly Bean... I have to wonder how different it will be from ICS.
When people say iOS has looked the same all these years... you can't forget about all the other stuff that has changed under the hood.
Do I wish I could customize my iPhone's homescreen with all sorts of widgets? Sure... but I don't spend to much time staring at my homescreen anyway.
Business is so intertwined internationally these days that if anybody was to follow this principal then nothing would be purchased. But don't worry. Samsung has worked hard at given themselves a reputation for stabbing their own customers in the back. I'm sure Apple and many other companies have taken note, and are taking steps to do exactly as you said.
I totally agree, except for the stabbing part, but I don't go around proclaiming my hatred for companies, that's the whole point...if they hate it so bad then don't buy anything related to the company they hate so much.
As for the the rest of your post...yawn and it wasn't worth quoting.
Since you already noted that most innovation happens "under the hood" rather than to a specific screen, no need for me to add to what you've already said. Much appreciated.

Hey, just saying…
And dozens of others.
Though I'm also mystified by all these one-off Google posters that come on here and claim iOS needs to "change its UI in iOS [whatever number you want] to "stay relevant". The very idea itself is just laughable.

I advise you to read the post carefully. I said that if we talk strictly about software point of view.
"Re-sizable widgets, one tap request for the non-mobile version of any website in browser, android beam, closer to PC-like multitasking & the data usage monitor". All these features are present in ICS. That's why I said it's tightly packed. iOS 6 still does not have any of these features. And about Jelly Bean, I don't care if it reaches to even 5% marketshare of Android device. As long as users have option to opt for the OS which has such plethora of features.
I am using an iPhone from long time. But that does not mean that I have to deny the limitations of iOS. This fanboy kind of attitude keeps you from admiring what other companies are doing better. First time I have felt that Google has stepped anywhere near that truly fine balance between power, flexibility, usability, and good old fashion beauty. So I accept it & it's my opinion. So there's no need to call the other insane just to favor Apple.
Good point.. you know... even this was creative in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way. Think about where Apple was when the iMac came out. On their back. This computer was their "Life Saver" and it came in Life Saver colors. If it wasn't for this computer's success and it popular use of cheerful colors, they would have been "done".

go man go.. you are on a roll don't stop. don't forget to mention the SD card support, USB ports and the specs man.. don't forget about the specs. Consumers love that stuff. I for one could listen to you talk about resizable widgets and one tap request for non-mobile websites, PC-like multitasking for hours.. please don't stop. As soon as consumers find about about this kind of stuff, iOS will fade into irrelevance for sure.
"Re-sizable widgets, one tap request for the non-mobile version of any website in browser, android beam, closer to PC-like multitasking & the data usage monitor". All these features are present in ICS.
How are any of these features useful to the average person, though? Have you ever noticed that the term 'killer feature' has never been mentioned alongside any of them?
Even people who actually have ICS (a whopping 7% of Android users) don't seem to care enough about them to upgrade. They're the technological equivalent of toys. Fun, but not necessary, and it does seem a little insane to attempt to judge an entire mobile OS on them.
Features found to be present in an OS are defined as 'tightly packed'?

WTF?
I run 5 widgets on my Android phone, one for weather and the rest are just system setting shortcuts i.e. turn on Wi-fi. I have used the other full blown widgets in the past but I'd rather just open up the app in most cases.

tells us about how you constantly play with the size of your widgets. We want to know about the resizable widgets man. Its more interesting then turning on your wifi.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days? "Resizing the widgets"? Sounds sort of demeaning. I'd at least want to be associated with a dongle instead of a widget.

Lets me guess.. I am thinking you would prefer the Thunderbolt vs. the Firewire dongle variety. I tell you we have come a long way from the drag and drop variety of widgets...these on-demand resizable widgets sound like the future and a lot less painful to use.

The current iPhone already does this. Because Apple's perfected the basics.
