^ Very sad to hear about Jobs, he truly was a innovator.

Im a android guy. Ive had the original droid and now im on a droid 2 after having several in-between. The original was the best in terms of things not crashing and other clunky type issues. It was also far and away the best in terms of not coming loaded down with bloatware. The problem is that’s its slow compared to newer phones.

Andriod is great. The problem is phone companies put a bootloader on top of android to customize it. I think this is the reason some apps work for some phones with no problem and crash for other phones. I think its also the reason you absolutely cannot get rid of some of the bloatware apps (ie blockbuster and amazon). A lot of the original techie guys that adopted droid are really really pissed about the bootloader issue and especially the phone manufactures that lock it due to pressure by phone carriers. Motorola locks their boot loader. After pressure HTC stopped locking theirs to much fan fare. Im thinking (and hoping) Google’s purchase of Motorola is to take control back and let the phones be what they were initially intended to be, customizable droid powered phones that arnt filled with all sorts of crap and clunky UI’s that cant ever be changed.

Saying that I rarely have problems with my phone. I also cant do iphone because it doesnt have a qwerty keyboard.

I think Apple is going to be fine. They're very well established as a company and in the past few years since he's been sick I don't think Jobs had as significant of a role as he did previously, so I think the transition has already been taking place for some time.

Anyone else bite the bullet on the new iPhone 4S?

I still have the 3G so I'm looking forward to the upgrade.

A few folks at work did. It is kinda cool but not really much better than the 4.

Compared to the 3, there is definitely some change. Also I heard iOS5 isnt compatible with 3.

I just bought the 4 from Verizon back in March, a couple months before they got rid of the upgrade discount for customers. I'm gonna put IOS5 on there but definitely not upgrading. People asked me why I didn't wait for the 4S to come out and it was because both of my old phones had cracked screens and I didn't want to wait any longer because I couldn't figure out incoming calls.

I was not sad when Jobs quit because I was confident about the Apples future. But now Jobs has passed away. Great loss. One of the greatest innovator is not with us any more.
