Steve Wozniak on Android: “I feel like it is more like Windows”

When he’s not riding his Segway with Parth Dhebar, Woz usually talks about Apple. You know, the company he co-founded with Steve Jobs back in the old days.

This time though, he was interviewed by The Seoul Economic Daily and decided to give us an insight on his take on iPhone’s most important competitor.

“First, I liked a lot of things that were built into Android phones. Voice recognition and noise cancellation on my Nexus One phone were great. I still like to speak things.

It’s difficult to find where things are (on Android phones). More and more, I feel like it is more like (Microsoft’s) Windows in which many different hardware vendors have installed different equipment on the same platform. The (Windows’) platform has to be very neutral and cannot be special. That’s the similar problem Android phones have.

When you write an app for Android phones, there are so many platforms to consider. That’s the problem Microsoft was facing with its Windows years ago. People like Apple products because they are always predictable and work.”
