This thought would never have crossed my mind. It's very interesting. And if it happened, it would be amazing...

I've heard a lot of reviews about the android from some of it's users . . . Think it's been more negative than postive though. (I don't know anything about Android, so don't release any explosions on me)

andoid is a metric ton better than iOS, explosion4u

I would cry if this is really true.

How is Android better than iOS? Yous be trollin's.

This would be cool, I guess. Nintendo might overcome Android's tendency toward poor interface design. I'd rather see WebOS.

Poor interface? How so? iphones have the worst interface known to mankind.

LOLwut

Do you know anything about computers? Do you like customization? Do you enjoy pure, uncensored power?

If you answered yes to any of the above then you should not buy an iPhone.

It is very, very common sense (hint: GOOGLE PHONE REVIEWS) to know that there are at least four Android phones that are faster than the iPhone. The Droid RAZR Maxx, Galaxy Nexus, HTC One X, even the Galaxy Note. I don't even think the iPhone 4 had a 1.0 gHz processor. Oh boy. Apple made it work, for sure, but no one could ever call the phone a powerhouse. Even CNET, a notoriously pro-Apple website, has both the RAZR, RAZR Maxx, and Galaxy Nexus with higher review scores than any iPhone model. Having owned all but the Note, I'm confident that anyone who bought an iPhone post-August 2011 does not understand technology or is incredibly blind.

Looks be damned, since you can make your Android phone look like an iPhone if you want. Not that I would want to, since they look like toys.

Not that I'm a huge Android fan, though. I'm honestly thinking about switching to WP7, which has received the wonderful Nokia Lumia 900 and looks to only get better once Windows 8 and its likely phone OS counterpart are released.

And yeah, I get very offended when people knock products due to blind allegiance.

iOS is brilliant because it works with it's hardware so well and it's nice and simple.
I still prefer Android, because you aren't as restricted. Just got to have the know-how. However, you just need the right phone, and not some bargain bin piece of plastic that only works with Facebook and Opera Mini.

android phones get 4.0 soon too, complete with 4g/hd screens/hd skype camera etc, it will blow the iphone5 out of the water.

....

"Do you know anything about computers? Do you like customization? Do you enjoy pure, uncensored power? If you answered yes to any of the above then you should not buy an iPhone."

LOL, having fun speaking in absolutes kid? You're the one knocking with blind allegiance.

"I don't even think the iPhone 4 had a 1.0 gHz processor."

It did, and we're on the 4S which has a dual core 1 GHz processor now.

So, define "faster" for me. We were talking about operating systems a minute ago. Now you're saying that there's a couple Android devices that are "faster" than the iPhone 4S. I suspect you are measuring "speed" in terms of CPU speed on paper. think I'd like to point out that the iPhone 4S actually beats these devices in terms of GPU power- and more importantly, iOS is vastly superior to Android in terms of how it uses the CPU/GPU, and it offloads way more work to the GPU. As a result? The "slower" device- from a CPU perspective- ends up much faster because it offloads everything to the GPU while Android still draws everything in the CPU.

The iPhone ends up:
* Feeling snappier, more responsive
* Performing better in gaming

The whole "which is faster?" is extremely subjective when the iPhone 4S has the best GPU on the market, highest resolution screen on the market, and an OS that is way, way more efficient in managing it's usage and has a smaller RAM footprint. It's easy to point out that one of the thousand Android devices on the market has a slightly faster CPU and then run around crowning it king.

Do we even have to go in to detail about how iOS results in better battery life due to how it multitasks or how iOS has vastly better high-class developer support? I've yet to see anything remotely approaching Infinity Blade on Android, and that's now a two year old game.

"I'm confident that anyone who bought an iPhone post-August 2011 does not understand technology or is incredibly blind."

You're adorable, kid.

I didn't read anything but I'm pretty sure Praxis knows what he's talking about l0l

I don't want Nintendo having anything to do with Google.

The only issue that I've ever had with android, is that once you buy a phone, You get like, 3 updates for it, then they release a new phone 3 months later that's newer, faster processor, better camera, w/e. Luckily the phone I currently have is one of a kind. Epic 4g, fast enough for n64 games, has a camera that shoots in 720p, and has a keyboard. Had it for about a year and a half now but so far no android phone in the Galaxy S series is what I want right now. But since this is Nintendo, they will always be hooked up with the newest updates, and Android is the buffest os out there, so if this is true, we lucked out.

I agree with Praxis. It doesn't matter how many cores the cpu is on an Android phone, the responsiveness on "just" a single or dual core iPhone is unmatched. I love the customization of Android, but it is true that most devices rarely get updates; my device still doesn't have the promised OS update that came out last year :(

The idea is hilarious. Nintendo has a long history of using their own tech rather than flat out use a competitor's.
Also why would anyone that unstable POS known as Android? Are people just ****ting on iOS blindly because "it's the cool thing to do". At the moment, iOS is better. Period.

I could maybe see the WiiU running some random Linux distro not used by cell phones or laptop and desktop computers, but Android more specifically wouldn't work for the same reason Ubuntu or SUSE wouldn't work. That's like using the operating system that runs on your router on your laptop and expecting it to work like a normal laptop operating system like Windows or Mac. Also Nintendo probably wouldn't like it since you could just root Android and do whatever you want with it, but there would be similar problems with any Linux distro. Plus this kind of thing just doesn't seem like something Google would be a part of and also Android is just way too slow and buggy no matter how good the specs are.

i have infinity blade on my droid 2, they hacked it so it could play on android, it plays no worse than on the iphone

Oh no.. another Ninten News update..

Iphones don't have any keyboards period. Android wins by default.
