Reasons to prefer Android over IOS

I had recently posted an article "10 reasons to prefer IOS over android", And i promised there that i will also post 10 reasons to prefer android over IOS, so here they are!

1. Easily Available ; Android is everywhere, almost every phone manufacturer produces an android Smartphone,from 1000$ to 100$, android is everywhere at every price point,Which is not the case with the Apple Iphone, for example : In india where i live, Android phones are instantly or very soon available here after their launch worldwide, which is not the case with iPhone as iPhone releases Iphone in india almost 8-9 months after it has released it worldwide.

2. Price ; As i said in the previous Point that Android is available at many price points, from 1000$ to 100$, and getting cheaper  by everyday that passes,whereas Iphones are Usually 800$ to even 1000$ at some places.

3. Homescreen Widgets ; Homescreen widgets are very useful,  As you can quickly see Information you need without the need to open the application, As its in right in front of you for Example, Some social application widgets show some of top tweets on homescreen itself whereas on the iphone you would have to open the Application to get to know it.

4. Notification system : The notification system in android is Great, as it comes On and doesn't Stop what You are doing on you phone whereas In IOS, it stops what you are doing. Which is A Problem.You can also easily access the notification's by just dragging down the notification bar on the top which is really Neat.

5. No need for software application on the computer:  iPhone requires you to install iTunes on your computer and sync with it in order to do just about anything on the iPhone, such as transferring applications, music, videos or contacts. Furthermore, you can sync it with only a limited number of computers. Android phones do not need any such application - simply plug the phone into any computer and exercise complete control over your phone.

Data transfer is as easy as drag and drop. On a side note, I deem the SD card expandable memory option in the Android phone to be better than having no memory slot as in the iPhone, because you can carry additional memory cards with you and use when required without worrying about running out of memory.

6. Flash support in web browser ; Statistics tell us that almost 40-50 percent of websites we surf have Flash, which is supported by almost every Android Mobile which is 2.2 or higher, and this is what lacks in Safari, safari no matter how good or smooth it is will offer you an incomplete experience of the web.

7.  Unlimited personalization ; Android phones can be personalized the way you want. Thus, 

you can make the phone appear the way you want, and behave the way you wish.

Depending on what type of user you are, you can configure each desktop to serve your needs. If you are a business user, you may want a screen with contacts, emails, stocks and news updates via RSS, etc. A social network user may want to have a Facebook desktop, a Twitter desktop, and so on. You can even add a whole new desktop if you want and set default actions for different contacts. This is not possible on the iPhone.
