So Choice is a bad thing?
I really think that the comparison by number of screens and apps available is dumb...
why? because most 9 the screens shown for samsung are AVAILABLE widgets to add to the home screen...
So this is basically a large choice for users to choose from, choice outside of the Apple world is considered a good thing...
although I can agree they should remove the Story Album, Samsung Hub & FlipBoard from the home screens, they are pointless really i think....
So remove the unused widgets, ignore the 'Available' apps/widgets pages and you have yourself a very simple interface...
But what I love is that Apple stole the idea for the 'quick' pull up settings from Samsungs pull down ones(or is it an android feature?) but with Samsung, you can customise your list! I really hope Android/Samsung patented that UI feature, just so they can stick Apple with a dumb lawsuit for a change... (I really don't think its a patentable Idea but with what Apple has patented, I am sure the USPTO would allow it)
Both Android & iOS are easy to do the basics with, but with iOS you end up finding you can't do things, with Android usually there is a way to do it if you need to. That is the reason I use Android, because iOS is too simple.
