So we just discovered, via the presentation of the Galaxy Nexus, the new version of mobile operating system Android 4.0, we could see that Google has chosen to redesign the home of this system. A picture is now the turn of the canvas, it proposes to compare the development over three years from the home screen of the operating system that Apple and Google.
Comparisons between IOS and Android are common on the Internet, resulting each time in a war between supporters of the Apple brand and the Droid most famous in the world, after R2D2. Today is a picture of Jason Hsu, published on Google + which compares the home screens of both systems. The criteria are simple, we chose the 1.0 version of each system and version 4.0.
iOS: the quiet force
Course of its design, the SpringBoard, the application that manages the home screen of iOS has not yet experienced a “revolution.” The only notable difference being the arrival of the wallpaper in the version 3.2 files and applications. For the rest, some icons have been changed and the dock has adopted a design closer to that of Mac OS. With its success, we can say that Apple has won over users input
Android: Google resolutely
In terms of Android smartphone, the evolution is most prominent, which is not really surprising that Google has often given a picture of the dynamic, constantly changing. The most important change is undoubtedly the arrival of the virtual keys, from replacing physical buttons. The GUI has also been revised, with a neon style seen in 3.0
HoneyComb. Android thus gives a modern touch to his system, but these changes are significant it without consequences? Intuitive.Il this must be an engineer to use Android ”
This sentence signed Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, has not finished making the buzz. If the use of the operating system from Google, it is questionable whether the Android home screen that has undergone significant changes is also concerned. If the interface is uncluttered, the arrival of the virtual buttons may need time to adapt to users, especially those accustomed to the physical buttons and optical scroll. In addition, the choice of a neon interface may not please everyone, there or Apple chose to stay sober, I personally find the interface of Google more Geek.
