At first I thought this guy really built his own protocol or something. But upon reading, it seems like it's just a rant about his experience with Android.
Disclosure: I'm an Android fanboy (4 HTC phones! 1 iPhone)
The sad part is, this is a heavily opinionated article fully about his own experience and it doesn't actually explain why Android is better than iOS yet. For example, he talks about integration issues with his car as an argument over his iPhone, which is just his own opinion. It would have been really great if he had pitched as to why Android is REALLY better than the iPhone. He doesn't talk about the actual reasons why Android is superior -
1) Choice of various Filemanagers
2) Better Bluetooth connectivity between other phones
3) No need for the memory hogging iTunes garbage
4) Better navigation and integrated Maps support
5) Choices between browsers and functionality (Some browsers even enable Flash even if your handset doesnt support it!)
6) Excellent Notifications menu and ease of access to important stuff
7) Better App. management (Move to memory card, etc) and true multi-tasking, install Apps outside of Market
8) Freedom to do whatever you want with the phone - Install any ROM you like, Root it, connect it to other electronic peripherals, etc.
This is just a short list, and I'm not sure if some of the features are now available on iDevices, but the last time I checked, they weren't..
Apologies for the following rant, but these topics annoy the absolute hell out of me.
That list isn't a list "...as to why Android is REALLY better than the iPhone." at all. It's a list of why you think it is better. I have iPhone and a Nexus S. I despise Android device. It's a Nexus S running Jelly Bean, and I find it to be clunky as hell. I found it to be clunky as hell with Gingerbread too. Why the hell should I have to simply to have a satisfactorily functioning device? Reading into it, there is no guarantee that installing Cyanogenmod will improve things for me either. Of course, these are my opinions and they are worth little to anyone other than me, much like your list of 'facts'. What happened to live and let live? What happened to use the tool that works for you? Why do we have to endure the endless and meaningless pissing contests?
This is a real personal thing though. He's listed what made a difference to him.
For me most of what you list doesn't bother me one way or another and there are things on there (for instance better inter app communications) that I do really miss on iOS.
