Gemmill 34694 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Aye I can't think of any app that I can't get cos it's only available on Apple. I'm not saying they don't exist. I'm saying there's none that I want that exist. All the major stuff exists on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I've not noticed any difference except apps look better on a OneX screen. Less choice perhaps. both have about 700,000 apps on their respective stores. Both have about 50 worth having Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying there's none that I want that exist. All the major stuff exists on both. Im not saying you cant get them, im saying that side by side the Apple apps are always superior. They are nearly always developed and released firsr on iOs too due to the difficulties in getting apps to work across every android handset. Instagram, Temple Run, Fruit Ninja, Sky Go etc. All faster and more stable in Apple handsets. Im saying this as someone whose last 3 contracts have been on Android handsets.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Seems strange to be praising the invariably better quality apps available through Apple when they've just had a load of negative pulicity on the back of buggy apps on ios6.

Kid Dynamite 5941 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I've not used any apps on ios6, my comparison was using apps on ios5. But android 4.0.4 has well and truly fucked my phone. Freezes twice a day every day and has borked it's own hands free connectivity so Android is not exactly fault free itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 What app do people use for streaming from their PC to their android tablet? I was using Kalemsoft on WebOS and it was mint and a piece of piss. Struggling to open ports and all that bollocks on my newer PC to get VLC access to my PC files.

Tooj 17 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 My dad's Nexus 7 has arrived, it's a Christmas present for him for me and my sister so I'm going to pre-load it with Apps for him. Can anybody give me a brief summary of what the best ones out there are? Also what's best for Twitter, Facebook etc as he uses them quite a bit.

Gemmill 34694 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Twitter, I would just use the stock Twitter app. Friendster is better than the standard Facebook app IMO, but I'm not a heavy FB user. If he likes his music, you could sign him up to Google Play Music and get all his music uploaded to the cloud, so he's got that done when you hand the thing over.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 It won't be here for a while. They only opened it up for pre-orders. Expected to be 4 weeks until it arrives.
