In this world of gadgets and mobility, you may be classified according to the operating system of the gadgets you plug into your 4-port USB 3.0 docking station. People may perceive you as the ultimate geek if you have the MacBook. Others may see you as a commoner if you have even the latest Android-based gadgets. The Apple versus the rest of the world saga has been going on for some time, but it seems the stakes are higher all the more these days. Especially with both Google and Apple releases new versions of their operating systems at almost the same time.
The latest releases from Apple is the IOS 7, which for people is expected already since Steve Job’s company does not seem to want to veer away from just using numbers to name their operating systems. On the other hand, Google is continuing with their tradition of naming theirs after sweet desserts; thus we have an Android Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean, to name the last two. The latest release couldn’t be more blatant: KitKat.

Will it cause mass exoduses of users from one operating system to another? Will you find all your devices to connect to your USB 3.0 docking station all Android or all Apple? Here are some points:

Apps
IOS 7 vs. KitKat: The App drawer of the android looks better that the boring black one. Since the widget was removed pressing the home button is needed to access the app drawer. As for the years 7, apple added a notification center that would indicate calls, messages, schedules, and more. This would be convenient for people who run a busy schedule.
