[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6259188, member: 8835"] bear in mind, every iPhone comes with a wired headset that has a push button to answer the phone. Problem solved. (unless Danny doesn't like the sound on that either). Part of the Android problem (like mine) is that it was 3 years old. Android OS revs plenty fast and probably gets better. But the phone vendors/carriers do not update FW in any kind of useful fashion on Android devices. So Danny was stuck running the crappy version of Android for 3 years. Whereas, his iOS devices have been running the latest version all their life time. With the exception of iOS7, there was the additional perk that it did not change from device to device in any meaningful way. No learning curve as he upgraded. I've gone through 3g -> 4 -> 5 in 2 year increments and there was ZERO learning gap/change thrash. Whereas, now that I dumped my 3 year old DroidX for a Razr Maxx, it's obviously "better" but the OS has morphed so dang much because I couldn't upgrade OSes in a useful way during those 3 years to ease into Android's evolution. At this point, I still can't get my new Android to notify me when I get new email. And I'm a software developer! I'm the guy who gets that stuff working on everybody else's phone. Android's not for everybody, just as iOS isn't for everybody. Given that Danny's already got iOS investment, I'd say he's probably just fine, even with that 4s. Just don't put iOS7 on it. [/QUOTE]
