even though Android has a larger amount of app's, games and customization i never liked using Android, maybe it's because the first OS i ever used on a touch gadget was iOS but still i'll prefer iOS for now.
i'm not an Apple fan boy

Flagship Android smartphones already have full HD 1920x1080 displays. The latest iPhone only has a 640x1136 display so-called "retina display". At this point in time, it's actually one of the worst displays on a smartphone.

The iPhone doesn't really need that high of a resolution though, at only 4 inches.

And to think that for Apple "Retina" only means high-res, above a particular PPI. Nothing else special about it, but I'm sure there are some people that think it means something more.

The iPhone 5s is only 4 inches and has a PPI of 326. The Nexus 5 is about an inch larger but has a PPI of 445.

And what's with the lower case S, Apple? Now people won't know if I'm talking about several iPhone 5 models (iPhone 5s) or one iPhone 5s. What about several? iPhone 5ss?

I really prefer Android.
Why? The freedom you get with it.
Want a classic emulator? Sure, just go download a emulator in the Google Play Store.
And you know what makes emulation even better? My Xperia Play :)
Seriously, the gaming controlls REALLY gives it a good experience!
NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and GBA etc. just play fine on the Play!
N64 is a different story though, some game's have a stable FPS, other's don't.
I also have Drastic on there, which also run's pretty good.
The Play Store also has very much apps and themes.
So, combine your phone with a 32GB/64GB card, and your good to go.
So, for me Android wins big time!

Android all the way even though its not fully open source like they say its still better than ios. iOS is good dont get me wrong its rock stable but still i hate apple and hate what they sell at rediciouls prices because of the brand.

Is quite funny how the OP missed Windows Phone, iOS have no change in stableness compared to Windows Phone, same with Android.
also Windows Phone is the easiest to develop for. But as an Developer i think its a tie between Windows Phone 8 GDDR3 and Android 4.5. :D

Android as my glorious nation produces them. Such as the Samjiyon.

Definitely Android! You have many more options and possibilities for customization, most of them for free. If you're willing to spend a lot of money for each application/game that you want to download then choose iOS

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
