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."
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.
Android isn't crappy and if you were honest you wouldn't say that it is.

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!

Fan boi ass kisser. Get a fucking life. By the way, how firm a grip does Steve Jobs like when you masturbate him?
He was misquoted I'm sure and I doubt he intended to say that Android was better in anyway- if people took it at that. However I think those who are saying things like android is crap are failing to see the light. "Crap" is subjective. What is crap to you may be gold to others. I want a FREE phone for instance- not one locked into Apple's toyland. A locked down POS that becomes obsolete overnight sucks. iOS is that POS. And you say it works, but not to my parents, not to the average consumer. They can't handle the change. If it has to change it should be gradual and more frequent like with Ubuntu. Android actually works for them. The average consumer can't get Apple's products to work despite the markets success in certain niche areas. Yea- young people pick it up. Sometimes. Have you ever tried teaching an old person to use an iPod? It doesn't happen. Even 20 year olds have trouble. I can't tell you how many people I've seen throw away the iPod for a simple audio player or even a regular cell phone which was by all means NOT simple because certain features like 'USB mass storage' having to be enabled and not known to the user and screens that worked no better (even if they had better (despite still being proprietary) user interfaces). Yea. Simple people. Apple complicates things and that isn't good for users. They may be hip and cool, but in the real world it doesn't work. Apple can make money- but that doesn't mean it works. Just like Microsoft Windows fails miserably too. Comparisons being made Android works great and Apple has nothing on it that make me or any other sane user switch who actually looks into the product. Kids are Apple's market who fail to see beyond the box's artwork and folks with money who too don't seem to care enough because well- they'll just buy another if it doesn't work out. That's about where and why Apple has got it made. If it wasn't for that Apple wouldn't have made the money it's made. Money is made by selling to the masses not niche markets. Somehow Apple did a damm good job of monopolising certain very big niche markets though. Which in retrospect where the entire market (audio players are 'youth' product).
I don't know. I don't masturbate Steve Jobs. However your mom sucks me off SOOOO GOOD every day.
