[QUOTE="vahdyx, post: 1488725, member: 287171"] Yup fragmentation is definitely carrier or manufactures fault. I agree and a reason why I don't like non-nexus androids. I've heard two things. It's only when you side load apps or app markets and not google play (I've never experienced malware yet using only google play). Then I've heard there on google play as well. Not sure what the truth is, but it seems fueled by platform biases. It seems the ones that say nothing to worry about are android fans and the one that say you're screwed are apple fans. It's hard to get a clear answer. Yeah I know. It's a waste. I have never tried, and I agree. Android before jelly bean was buggy but I really think JB fixed a lot of my android complaints. I actually like it now. What's these widgets you speak of and how do I get them on my iPad? I disagree with this for the most part. Jelly Bean made my phone just as responsive if not more responsive than my iPad. I say "most part" because web browsing is cumbersome on my device where it's great on iOS. One thing I will say is I have more random closing apps on my iPad than I do on my android phone. Not sure why but its annoying, but it's happened on both. I've seen it happen to my friends iPhone as well. I agree. There's a definite more quality feel in iPhone than Android, but that's not as important to me because I usually throw on a case. What's more important to me is what my user experience is. And like I said I'm struggling because I love both and hate both. Not entirely sure what you're saying but maybe it's because I'm using Nexus (my fiancée uses GS3) but we are never reminded to use google. You can change it so the android system uses what ever app you want by default this isn't possible on iOS as far as I can tell.
