> Woz believes that Android’s voice commands and built-in navigation system are a big advantage

Personally, this is why I've kept my Nexus S around. I think the #1 thing I use it for is navigation while I'm driving. With a car mount it's as good as a TomTom/Garmin/whatever.

I have to agree with you on the nav issue: even buying a cheaper Android phone just for the nav abilities is worth it in itself. I tried many of the 3rd party nav apps and find Google Navigation superior to any iPhone options and easily matches TomTom etc.

I don't use an iphone, but does Siri help bridge the voice command gap?

The article's headline is misleading. FTA:

“If you’re willing to do the work to understand it a little bit, well I hate to say it, but there’s more available in some ways,” said Woz.

I agree.

> Android has leapt ahead of Apple

Apples to Oranges (pun not intended). Android is no longer a company and Apple is not a operating system.

The nav issue is a huge pain for me, coming to the iPhone from android. Waze is alright, but I live near a large amount of tolls, and it doesn't route around them like google's nav does - not to mention a large amount of small details and polish that is lacking as well. When google announced navigation way back when the original droid came out they did say it would be coming to other platforms (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/10/28/google_says_it...) I wonder if apple has blocked it at all

I wonder why woz uses Razr instead of galaxy nexus.

I imagine Woz has been waiting for Jobs' passing to say a lot of things about Apple.

(not 'waiting for' eagerly or anything)

How about the original article instead of this blogspam? http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/01/14/even-woz-th...
