An interesting Jelly Bean review from an iPhone lover and Android "hater"

[grenefroggie]

I have a Twitter account that I use strictly for following Android related news. I was happy to stumble on a Tweet from Android Police that pointed to an article on GizModo written by Sam Biddle, a known Android hater and iPhone fan boy.

Why is this, in my opinion, important? Well, because honestly, Android has lacked the smooth feel of iOS. You can say otherwise if you would like. However, without heavy modification, Android, up until Jelly Bean, has felt nothing like smooth or fluid. Having validation from an iPhone user and lover is a step telling iPhone users and current Android users, as well as Google, that Google is heading in the right direction.

An Openly Biased Review of Android Jelly Bean by an iPhone Lover

There is the link to the article. Take a gander and give your input. If you have not been blessed with the chance to use Jelly Bean, then you have quite a pleasant surprise in store for you. I have had it on my GNex for some time now, and I am quite impressed with the difference between Android 4.0.4 and Android 4.1!

How about a link? Lol

I agree. JellyBean is definitely a move in the right direction. Hopefully it will deployed in full force before KeyLimePie is released.

The link is right above where I said "There is the link".

I have to admit, all of his criticisms of Project Butter and Google Now, I find valid. Google Now sometimes just straight pisses me off. It doesn't ever post anything, even after some playing with it, anything that I find useful...except how long it is going to take me to get back home...and I usually already know that.

But the fact that he was able to "look on the bright side" in regards to Google's newest version of Android, even with, what I think are some serious flaws, impresses me. It is a step in the right direction, but Google still has a lot of work to do!

That's what I figured when you posted. I saw you were posting via phone/tablet/other non-computeresque device.

I read it, liked it, and it made me feel like a tool for tying myself down to a two year contract with a phone that is already a year old and not likely to get an official Samsung Jelly Bean release. On the plus side however I've quickly realized that this phone is W-A-A-A-A-A-A-Y easier to flash ROM's and such to than my Atrix 4G and appears to be one of the top ten devices the XDA dev's support so I think I might be able to get Jelly Bean on it anyway via XDA. We'll see what happens, even if it doesn't, it's a pretty darn nice phone and I believe I am now a Sammy Android convert.

Your phone is slated to get JB.

Ok, I'm sorry guys but I'm a big skeptic when it comes to this stuff. Could you provide a link where I could see this information for myself?
