It is constant wars. Mano o mano kick boxing between two tough competitor. From the crater and under the Apple tree is, iOS 4.3. From the land of google's crafted being, Android Honeycomb. Face off. While we watch they beat each others' ass. We'll take a look at their weak spot. Off we go. To the weakness !

Software Rigidity. Too little to tweaks and customize. Which give it a good run in their won comfort zone. Wonder to spice it up, out of luck. You need to live in its rigidity. 

Productivity Boarder. The i (both iPhone and iPad) is great information eater. Email, web surf, tweeting, facebooking, reading and presenting. Good. Produce information. Bad. The awesome keyboard is awesome for short writing. For crafting your long article and report, even Hercules finds it a struggle. Plus, the OS itself is not a dedicated multitasker especially when you have to juggle a lot of information at once in order to create reports, presentation or edit files. 

Fewer Hardware Option. There is a lot to wish for the hardware, better number on specs sheet especially. And another reason why Hercules (which suffer from fatigue due to writing his epic journey) hates his father, Zues, is for not creating a nice physical keyboard to bundle with the i. So what the i got to offer is only 2 things. Storage and connectivity.

Chaotic Ecosystem. It's open source. Anyone can take it, and do whatever they want with it. So there are some did the best thing. Some just launch and outdated version one. Some bring up upper stage of instability. Most crowded it with crap apps. Maybe Google should supervised this in order to guarantee quality and standardization is major.

Turmoil Experience. Wildly inconsistent across android devices. Many vendors put menu button (bottom of the screen) in different arrangement, to increase confusion, they put different types of button icon. Grandma will curse such a thing. Plus the looks between android devices are varied. Which the vendor need to see first whether it's compatible with other apps or not every time new update is out.  Perhaps become the reason for the inconsistency of updates across android ecosystem.

Captain-less Ship. A lot of the problems in android is due to Google not being the leader of its ecosystem. Even though it can't ultimately determine the destiny on hardware vendors (since android is open source), at least show who's boss in Android Market and punish that gross violators and suggest what android vendors adopt in order to inspire them into better behavior. Or use as disciplinary tools.

iOS 4.3 hit with a new multi-touch function allowing the use of four and five finger gestures. Amongst these is a new ‘pinch’ which closes the current application and returns the user to the homescreen, which stir the crowd especially those who fall in love with home button. Now it offers both mute and screen lock switch in order to win the crowd's heart back. But its popu alert is pretty much annoying since you need to touch it in order to make it gone. if you got 1000 of alert, that will somehow turn good heart Hercules into Hades curse mania.

iOS 4.3 are great and in many cases provide some much needed changes to resolve its supporter issues with previous versions. Honeycomb did bring its best shot along to prepare itself in this face off. While on contrary iOS come in with a mind " oh i just need to get a new hair cut " for a preparation. I'm still the best it say. Making Honeycomb much more competitive with iOS than ever before, some of the major gripes with the system have been ironed out and it is really playing to its strengths. It is testament though to the  iOS quality  that it didn’t need much changing this time around,except for new hair cut. Compare to Honeycomb which need to learn a lot from its older brother. Overall, it's still very much of Honeycomb being the choice for it's spirit i'll change for the sake of your love. while iOS is pretty much stubborn saying love me as what i am or else, find someone else. That's the issue when Honeycomb being more customizable over integration, intuitiveness and ease of use while iOS is just pick up and go (that's its major strength). But the point is, Android regime are inching closer and closer to a similar state. Honeycomb is a proof to that and is impressive as a result to say the least.
