Technically, you’re right. When referring to the OS, the full work Android should be used. Another punctuation-correct version would be ‘Droid (foreshortening the word Android). Droid OS is the lazy man’s way of doing it. In this aspect of my life, I’m lazy. 😀
Admitted Android fan…
Don’t have an unlimited data plan and my kids IPhone continually sucks up “mystery data” from somewhere…
Hate that thing
Btw, i think the Xperia Z1 may be a even better option than the S4. It’s the newest batch of smartphones (along with the Note 3), but the most interesting? It’s waterproof for 1.5m (5ft), extremely good camera, can be used with the new Sony smartwatch (which is also dust/waterproof). The Note 3 would be the other option, but it’s big (5.7″) and not so rugged.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active came out last July, which is why I was debating on whether to get the regular S4 or the S4 active. It’s waterproof to 1.5 meters, shockproof, and dustproof. It has raised buttons because they found out that the touch screen does not work when wet. The videos show the S4 Active takes great underwater pictures. But the Xperia, being a newer phone has a slightly better specs.
Yep, it’s faster with a incredible camera (sony, after all, does make excelent cameras), maybe a better screen (Bravia tec.). Idk, it seems to me that the Xperia was built thinking about resistance, while the Galaxy was adapted later. It also looks thinner than the Samsung. Probably, the touch works fine underwater, as it does not have physical buttons (home/back) like the S4. Oh, very big battery, 3000mAh. It’s almost the same battery of the Note 3, while being smaller and using the same processor (Snap 800, currently fastest on the market with the top Atom and Tegra 4) with smaller clock (2.2 vs 2.3 Ghz), it should last for a good while.
iPhone 5 for me. its so much more user friendly in my opinion. and with a jailbreak it can do anything an android can (software wise). the Lifeproof case for the iphone is great if you’re doing some outdoors stuff. otherwise my phone has the magpul case on it.
S4 all the way. My fiance has an iphone, and shes constantly asking me why stuff doesnt work like my S4. Its because its an Iphone, thats why. They both have their share of issuse, Android to me has the least amount of them tho. Also, if you like to tinker, Android is the way to go.
My point is that iTunes isn’t all that necessary to use an iPhone, so even if you think it’s a terrible piece of software, it shouldn’t make the slightest difference. I might as well claim that Samsung Kies or the Android debugger is horrible, thus Android is bad.
In my opinion u cant beat the user friendliness of apple products.

Can’t store program on your SD to free up memory. Can’t have a spare battery. I’ve experienced both and it is no more than a myth about user friendliness. What is more user friendly and why would you do something to your iPhone to make it more like an Android Phone? Just get an Android Phone then.
There are waterproof and dustproof cases for Android Phones as well. Seidio makes them.
