Woz Misquoted About Android Dominating iOS

bonch writes "Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak's quote that Android would dominate over iOS was widely covered by the tech press, but after seeking clarification, Engadget reports that Wozniak was misquoted by Dutch paper De Telegraaf. 'Almost every app that I have is better on the iPhone,' says Woz, claiming that he would never say that Android was better than iOS. 'I'm not trying to put Android down, but I'm not suggesting it's better than iOS by any stretch of the imagination. But it can get greater marketshare and still be crappy.' Woz has an Engadget account and has posted further comments to the linked article."

Founder of Apple realizes what he said

The Woz has realized what he said might reduce the price of his apple stock, he is now retracting that statement.

Too bad since I don't have a Mac nor want to pay $99 just to play "Does Mr Jobs Like your App?" I cannot even try to develop for iOS.

Who said I was doing any of this for the love of money? I do have a day job.

I don't know, I consider having the vendor insist on controlling what I do to be pretty crappy.

Apple Haters "re-crafting" information in order to try and shed negative light on Apple? You don't say!

Just like Apple fanboys "re-crafting" information in order to try and make it as if Wozniak said Android was crap, you mean?

The zealots on both sides are pretty goddamned dishonest, as are zealots everywhere. Don't just put the blame only on one side, or you'll look like you belong to the opposite camp.
