What exactly gets so cluttered about it?
"App drawer"? What is?For one, there's no way to organize application in the app drawer. That means that if you have more than, say, half a dozen apps, you eyes go all cross-eyed when you open the drawer because they're all just right there all jumble up - your productivity apps are next to your phone apps are next to your games. It's not even a list either, it's a grid, which is very difficult (for me) to navigate quickly.
Android home screens have multiple pages, I keep my games separate from the other things. You can make folders and junk to group your stuff too.For comparison, on Windows Phone, all of your games get put into the games hub so they're out of sight unless you are looking for them.
Your full apps list is actually a single column list as well, making it much easier (for me) to find the app that I want.
iOS uses the whole "desktop" thing too. As well it's not just icons, you can put widgets there to give you information or provide quick access to controls (mainly the controls are the most useful).Then you have the whole "desktop" malarkey on Android. Why do you need a desktop on a mobile OS?
When you use your phone for more than just a caller and web browser? Remember that Android is not just for phones.The desktop exists on PC's so that you can have easy window-management and view multiple applications at the same time. When will you ever do that on a phone?
Different desktops for different tasks, most people use it like that. My main page has all my important/communication stuff...Not only that, but more than one of them?
No it's not.P.S. - Also, most Android users have a weather widget on their desktop that displays the time... even though the time is always shown in the top left of the screen. Nice.

Then another screen has games, another has my settings and controls and technical apps (ad blocker, lucky patcher, wifi analyzer, etc.)
No it's not.
"Fullscreen" apps (lots of games, youtube going fullscreen, etc.) hide the info bar.
At least, this is on mostly-stock. Phone companies and such will make all sorts of (often unwanted) additions/changes to Android.
your home screens you can put whatever you want there, people put their favorite apps and most commonly used ones, the app drawer has every app installed on your device so if you made shortcuts on your home screen you will rarely have to go in there

When android first launched it was truly superior to the iphone. At this point though, I honestly see little difference between the two. I'll continue to use Android devices though since I've grown so used to it, and they're much more affordable while doing all the same things. Really just comes down to preference and what you'd prefer to spend.

It's also on very expensive devices as well, with build quality exceed iOS devices.Android feels like a cheap whore.
It's on all the cheap phones and cheap chinese tables.
And there's not support for apps like amplitube.
A wel as long a I can make a phone call I'm happy.

Agreed!
Feels more like cheap whore is a villa mansion!
The problem to me is that some apps on older cheaper, less powerfull devices tens to work not as wel as they supposed to.
I know they work better on more powerfull devices, yet they are still available on google apps store. If you bought any of those apps it's a shame you cannot run them well enough.
They really should filter apps on system specs....
As a result some apps can feel buggy, while they actually not.
My overall experiance with android is so, so.
My next tables will be a proper Windows Tablet.
You know you have 15 minutes after buying an app to refund your purchase, right?
Adobe Flash should be eradicated from the Internet as a whole. It's one of the worst things happened to PCs.This is basic info. Android has a lot more to it, like, you can get adobe flash player and use it as a full web browser, and so much more.

That could have been a legitimate argument but it crumbles apart instantly due to the fact that iOS does not support multitasking....my iPhone 4 had over 120 apps on it once a time and I never felt it slowing down....
