Lets all make random generalizations, it's the cool thing to do right?

iOS is for people who eat staples.
Android is for people who eat razor blades.
Windows 8 is for people who eat grenades.

amidoingitritebrah? Y U SO COOL theapu?!

Anyways, on topic.

I'm generally not a fan of these "comparisons" as usually it's slanted one way or another depending on the source, but this one seems somewhat fair to all parties.

Well, no surprise Android is the most widely used mobile/tablet OS in the world. Just look at it and its UI - pure beauty.

As for the chart, Android just blows the other away.

PS: I'm not talking to FalseAgent. I just used the picture.

still, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Android is the most widely used mobile/tablet OS in the world because it's open.

The app running on iOS is the Podcast app which was released like 1 week ago or something. It is going to be separated from the Music app in iOS 6

What Preath said. That 'ugly app' is from Apple.

That picture is a random picture from a site which I can't remember, but I thought it was a good comparison of the 3 different design languages, so I posted it here. I'm not suggesting which is better than another, I leave that up to you guys.

Give me a break, man.

I've tried all and BlackBerry OS is just home to me. iOS definitely comes in a strong #2.

Also, in that pic, android: Home screen. Windows Phone: Home screen. iOS: Random app.
Not really a good way to judge

Sorry, nothing personal. Even I am not hating metro as much as I did at first, maybe because of your strong support for it :), who knows perhaps someday it will be my primary os :). Needs a bit of tweaking though ;P

Don't know if I should make small judgements about the OS based on that video.
I saw more people than clips of the OS in that video.

So here is the game guys!

As Oracle struggles to alive for JavaFX, Java on iOS, Android guys are making Jelly Beans the next tablet. In addition to that, they have also launched the official Jelly Beans SDK so that programmers can get their hands on it already.

Plus another peak into the it is that jelly beans' keyboard layout is also available now!

Now Gates wasn't out of the competition! They are launching windows 8 in August!

THE REAL COMPETITION IS NOW BEGINING!! LOL!! I am excited ;)
