Steve Wozniak gets a Samsung Galaxy Nexus

From IOS to Android
Mon Nov 21 2011, 16:39

THE MAN who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak has accepted a Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone from Google.

According to the Telegraph, Wozniak was given a Samsung Galaxy Nexus device when he visited Google's campus.

In November 2010, Wozniak appeared to tell Dutch paper De Telegraaf that the Android operating system was better than IOS at the time.

However, Wozniak subsequently claimed he had been misquoted and that he would never say Android was better than IOS.

Last month, Wozniak told The INQUIRER that IOS 5 bricked two of his Iphones, one of which was unrecoverable and had to be replaced.

His favourite feature of the new operating system would have been Siri, the voice activated personal assistant, if it wasn't specific to the Iphone 4S. He also said that he enjoyed using the greeting card making app because it's unusual.

In general he admitted to not really noticing the changes in IOS 5 and asked us to make a list of them so he could pick more easily. µ

He's a star

Gotta love Woz. He's a proper engineer and loves to tinker with stuff. Still laugh at the fact he "fixed" his Prius by adding a reset button to the dash hehe. A total star who was sadly over shadowed by Jobs.

WOZ TO TAKE OVER APPLE

WOZ SHOULD TAKE OVER APPLE, DITCH STUPID IOS AND IMPLEMENT ANDROID 4.0.
JUST DO IT!
ALSO, HE SHOULD GET RID OF OSX 10.8 AND MOVE UP TO OS XI WHICH WILL RUN ON ANY INTEL COMPUTER WHETHER IT IS MADE BY APPLE OR NOT. THEN HE SHOULD SELL IT TO ANYBODY WHO CARES (OR ELSE, DITCH UNIX AND BASE IT ON LINUX AND GIVE IT AWAY FREE). THEN HE SHOULD LOWER THE PRICES ON APPLE HARDWARE SO ANYBODY CAN BUY IT. THEN, HE SHOULD MAKE IT WORK RIGHT.
YEAH, A PIPE DREAM. I KNOW AS WELL AS EVERYONE THAT THOSE IDEAS ARE OUT-OF-DATE AND UNWORKABLE.
