Mobile Operating Systems

On this episode, we talk about the differences in iOS and Android and why we use the hardware we do. These episodes are designed to be open so that podcasters can voice their opinions and let others know how they feel about the devices they use.

Conclusion

During the episode, Aleeha Dudley, Jason Earls, and Michael Doise decided that iOS is the best platform for getting work done on quickly with the least amount of setup, but that Android can offer more power to users with more customization with features that iOS can’t provide.
