LE LS SRE SSE BE SE Eve on Our The Lion’s Eye March 2, 2011 vs ES ER SS Gas, a EO PRR ALR Shi Generation IPHONE VS. DROID te Said Paolo DiPaolo Lion’s Eye Staff Writer pod5013@psu.edu The iPhone has many great things to offer people when it comes to buying a phone. The three in one electronic has features such as iPod, phone, and In- ternet. .In the upcoming few months the iPhone will expand other networks other than AT&T because of the demand that it has had of the people. From what sources say, the iPhone will rule the year in the phone world because consumers are not only waiting for the i5 to come out, but how the Verizon brand will also be photos courtesy google.com carrying it. On the other hand I’m writing about its popularity, but I’m writing about how much better it as a phone it is and what it can do that the droid can’t. It’s plain and simple in five easy reasons of examples. The experiences I had, will explain how it’s made my life so interesting. L When the iPhone first came out people wanted it so bad and a lot of people (guys listen up) noticed that you had it. It’s a media powerhouse. Trust me the flashiness and appeal that the iPhone has scored me plenty of girls just read my Valentine’s- Day He said. II. A “rounding error” bug in the DROID’s “camera driver’s auto-focus routine that uses a time stamp.” What does that mean? Your camera will focus fine, for 24.5 days. Then it will be like asking your 100 year old grandma to play bingo with you. The iPhone always works better than the Droid, but good try. III. Less viruses, as we all know the Apple brand gets less virus then Windows which is used on all Droids. So watch what you look up on your phone’s internet web browser. IV. For all droid users how fast does your phone die because it will never outlast the iPhone. The iPhone was rated highest in lasting the longest. V. Last but not least is for the Android in the Application department. The iPhone has over 100,000 apps and the Android has a little over 30,000. If I do my math right, carry the one minus the two. It really doesn’t matter just count the zeros. As you can see the Android is making great progress, but with all the ways Apple and the iPhone keep adapting it’s going to really be tough to take first place from the Apple iPhone. So this year when all your contracts may be up go with the phone that has been better for me and surely will be better for you. She Said Kelly Crawford Entertainment Editor kmce536@psu.edu I have never really been the type of person that has to keep up with the latest technology or needs to buy newest gadget, but when it comes to cell phones, I like to have the nicest phone. When my contract with Verizon ended last year I was debating whether or not to sign up with AT&T to get an iPhone or stick with Verizon. Don’t get me wrong, the iPhone is really cool, but I love my Droid. I have had the same one for over a year now and have not had one problem with it. It never freezes or erases my memory like the iPhone has done too many of my friends. ; The reason I steered away from the iPhone was because it’s like a computer and if it crashes you lose everything. My Droid has plenty of the same applications to download as the iPhone and I also know for a fact the internet on the Droid is faster than the internet on the iPhone because I have loaded pages on the web quicker than many of the friends with iPhones. I also like the fact that my phone is powered by Google. There are many little things I can also say why the Droid is better than the iPhone. My camera has a flash, I still have a physical keyboard and also the touch screen feature, I have great battery life, and my phone has a built in memory card. I know a lot of people say the iPhone is better because AT&T users can “multi- task”, but not having that feature does not bother me. I rarely talk on the phone so if I was on the phone I probably would not be using the internet at the same time. It is easier for me to text people the information they need or the feature Google offers android phones to be able to call or get direction to any location you search right on the main web browser. Also having Google Maps on my phone is a god sent. It is better than any GPS I have ever used. Google Maps has taken me places using the quickest routes and also avoiding tolls. I really do not like to get into the whole iPhone vs. Droid debate with people because whenever someone has had an Apple product for a long time they are not willing to go back to any other type of operating system. The Motorola Droid is a great phone and I have personally never had any problem with it. For those who love the iPhone, more power to you, but I am completely content without one. DEAR LTONESS Dear Lioness: | wake up at 5:50am to catch two buses because | have classes from 8:30-3:20 M,W,F (with tutoring during common hr). | work on Tuesdays, and on Thursdays | have chem lab and calc. When | get out of class | don’t feel like doing homework and if | go home (on the bus) | won’t do any work at home. On Saturdays, | work and on Sun- days | have church and | volunteer at a hospital. What should | do? I’m falling behind in school and I'm always tired. Sincerely, STRESSED! Hi STRESSED! Geez, you are very busy! It is completely understandable why you are always tired and falling behind in your schoolwork. The best advice I can give you is to manage your time wisely and in your time management, make sure you make time for yourself - relax! | believe that is a very important factor in being successful in every aspect of your life. | know your days are long and by the time you get home, you don’t want to crack open not even your notebook. | think you should do some kind of review at home, but only after you relax when you get in. | take two buses to school as well, and | find that when | come home, relax and take a breather, it makes it easier for me to concen- trate on any schoolwork | have to do for the night. There is no easy solution to this, but | hope the few tips | gave you helps - just a little. You’re doing great! Take deep breaths. The semester will be over before you know it! xoxo Lioness!
