Steve Wozniak, the man that foundered Apple Computer Co with Steve Jobs many years ago, has admitted that he prefers many Android features over those of his iPhone. Woz openly chatted to The Daily Beast, about the pros and cons of Android:
“My primary phone is the iPhone,” “I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android does, I really do.”
Whilst Woz believes that iOS is more immediately user-friendly, he went on to explain that with Android phones:
“if you’re willing to do the work to understand it a little bit, well I hate to say it, but there’s more available in some ways.”
It does not come as a shock that Steve Wozniak likes Android, as he picked up a pre-release Galaxy Nexus from Google’s headquarters just a few weeks ago. It also turns out that Woz is not a big fan of Siri:
“I used to ask Siri, ‘What are the five biggest lakes in California?’ and it would come back with the answer. Now it just misses. It gives me real estate listings. I used to ask, ‘What are the prime numbers greater than 87?’ and it would answer. Now instead of getting prime numbers, I get listings for prime rib, or prime real estate.
“With the iPhone 4 I could press a button and call my wife. Now on the 4S I can only do that when Siri can connect over the Internet. But many times it can’t connect. I’ve never had Android come back and say, ‘I can’t connect over the Internet.’”
What do you think about Steve Wozniak liking Android? If Steve can see the good in his competitors product, then shouldn’t Apple and Android fans be able to do the same? Do you have more respect for Woz after reading that he appreciates Android as an operating system?
