G+_Pepe La Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Anyone else feel that the last TWiT episode misrepresented android and catered to the Apple viewer despite a larger announcement for android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tony Fleming Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Christina Warren I believe is a self admitted apple fangirl. But overall I think it was balanced. Most the show was about Apple yes. But no one flat out said the iPhone was superior to the Nexus 6 or other Android phones. And Leo flat out said he was happy for Apple Pay because it would allow him to use Google Wallet in more places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jim Jackson (J3xtr) Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It was the only episode that I found myself yelling because of inaccuracies. Christina was the source of most of my frustration. She did mention that apple has more card processors on board but I don't find that to be true.

G+_Joe Phelps Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nathan Anderson The Lollipop release will take six months or more. Tony Fleming The Nexus 6 is not shipping yet. There is no comparison to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Phelps Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nathan Anderson Don't be so obtuse. You know it'll be six months or more before Lollipop has any significant market share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Joe Phelps Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Lee Ball Nexus devices have a tiny market share. They're always in the Other category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jerry Ham Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It is interesting how everyone has a different take on it. My take is that I find Leo Laporte to be very balanced. I found Christina to be mostly balanced but she made some inaccurate comments. The other two? Dieter and Scott? Wow - they may be balanced in their other journalism; I don't know as I've never heard of them before. But what they presented on TWiT the other day was big Apple fan coupled with lack of knowledge on Android. Lack of knowledge on a major topic is acceptable in say one guest host. But they really should avoid having two that are so polarized. Unless they want to be on iPad today or the other iThing show on TWiT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dan Heil Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I actually felt that they did a great job showing how a press release got just as much talk as the iPad announcement. They might have been a fan of the iPhone but everyone is a fan of something. I don't think that means android is being misrepresented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kirk Corless Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 And the battle between apple fanboys and Android fanboys continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
