Both Are Good For Business, But iOS Is for the Creative And Android Is for the Scientific
I'm often asked about mobile operating sytems, and the 2 that come up the the majority are obviously Android and iOS. Maybe one of the more standard questions I'm asked is about which OS is better. That could be a tough subject to answer, and if I had to give a decisive answer it’d be terribly tricky. I may side with iOS for reasons concerning ease of use and the massive App Store populated with high-quality, handy programs. I may side with Android for its flexibility, tight Google integration, lower price of entry and vast hardware options.
The reatlity is that both operating systems have a lot to give, and they obviously overlap in both form and function. In the end, it seems that iOS is great for creative types and professionals that need to work on a busy schedule. Android is great for coders, hackers and systematic/mathematical types.
Pertaining to business people, both platforms are very good, but we'd have to side with iOS for security and simplicity of use. Those types need a safe environment, and iOS is the obvious winner there.
Ironically, Apple’s mobile App Store is the characteristic of iOS that makes it a superior platform for professionals and creative types that need/need to work on their smartphones and capsules. Apple supports its developer community with tight regulations and decent commission payments, and it shows in both the quality and the amount of the applications available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Apple removes barriers and distractions that permit the user to work simply, cleverly and regularly with fun. Just ask any musician with an iPad.
Android’s open-source nature allows developers to support a healthy and handy library of homebrewed programs and customizations, and Apple barely allows any customizations for iOS devices. At most, you can change the wallpaper and ringtones, and that is about it. In Android, virtually all apps and UI elements are user replaceable. Individuals that like to tinker and hack devices, and coders that like to build custom programs will appreciate Android’s open eco-system. There’s plenty of code posted on the internet you can borrow for free to build up your final app.
