Phone blog website GottabeMobile has got an interesting article here about practical teen concerns on the areas where an Android phone has managed to do better than the iPhone 4.
In the article, the author Kevin Purcell highlights four practical areas his teenage son feels Android phones do better than iPhones:
(1) Text Messaging
(2) Casing and Screensize
(3) Onscreen keyboard
(4) Camera access
Funny thing is, 2 out of the 3 iOS related issues already have jailbreak solutions. The drawbacks of iOS text messaging in terms of the inability to quick reply at lockscreen have been addressed on the Cydia store by iRealSMS 3.0, BiteSMS 5.2 and other sms apps, while his gripe about quick camera access can be easily overcome by button remapping jb tweaks.
I would add that iOS 5 should really address the issue of why we cannot organise our photos into different albums on the iPhone. The only clean solution is to pay US$4.99 for a Cydia app like Photoalbums+ to do this.
And unfortunately, I think Swype is not going to be available on the iPhone anytime soon...
Interesting!
