Do you think WP8.1 is on par with IOS and ANDROID?

[canonuevo]

Thought on this guys? I think WP8.1 is closing the gap.

 

[Xpider_MX]

IMO it is better.

 

[Dadstar0410]

They DID close the gap. Unfortunately others will still find excuses to hate WP8.1. By others I mean Android and iPhone users.


I especially love the themed lock screen idea. The diagonal one was sick!

 

[rockstarzzz]

They have sort of helped themselves and sort of given away too much time to iOS and Android to suffocate and kill Cortana, a single best feature that makes WP8.1 superior, even before she sees the day light.

With WP8.1 the only reason there will be a gap is because of closed minded people.

 

[bayanii]

It has closed the gap. Now its all about preference.

 

[tgp]

The gap has definitely been narrowed, if not completely closed. There will still need to be compelling reasons to switch though.

 

[canonuevo]

Yeah, I agree with everyone. Hopefully, the 'Apps" excuse diminish.

 

[Jas00555]

I think it's now on-par, but to get large numbers of people to switch, it has to be better.

To me....WP8.1 performance is better than android and on par with ios..the only thing it still behind is the app n game in app store..

True !

Well It would not still compel to make a switch from iOS,unless they opened up APIs to devs to allow better integration b/w apps and overall a better productive experience...i am not saying Apple is doing it,funnily,it is not doing it,this is the problem..So a closed ecosystem with wealth of features would really make wp standout from the rest..why didn't they take that route ? No os would come close to them if they did that and i really hope that they do it eventually....


BTW on objective basis it has almost narrowed the gap except that app gap...But WP should do better because it can..it has loads of potential...

I think it really makes no difference to me.

You just stated what WP is....

No it is not featureful I guess

 

[greycounciller]

I think in many respects, WP8.1 is superior.
It will now be down to developers to port their Apps/Games to ALL ecosystems and let the consumer decide.
I really like what MS has done and don't see why WP8.1 it shouldn't be a success.
I especially look forward to getting the new Lumia 930.

App selection is still kinda a problem, especially regional stuff. Other than this, it's just a matter of personal preference, and iSheeps and fandroids will still be naysayers.

 

[smoledman]

I'm pretty sure Android 4.4 still has a ****-ton more of features than iOS 7 which has a ****-ton more features than WP8.1. Sure MS closed the gap on iOS 7 to maybe 80%, but they better keep iterating faster.

Feature wise, it is on par I think but the application is the driving force so bare bones without apps I think the 3 OS are on par with each other.

 

[N_LaRUE]

Depends what you mean. Features or apps? From a features perspective it will be pretty much on par once the rest of the world has access to all the functions. I won't go on about the US centric view that MS has.

From an apps perspective we're way behind. There's been several articles out stating that more an more people are going app centric over mobile web. So we have some hill climbing to do still.
