SD card works a treat

iPhone - who cares.

Cheers, nice one, glad you got it sorted!  For audio in the car, I totally agree, who needs an iPhone, or any phone for that matter when SD card just works!

The reason android outsells apple 3:1 is price, pure and simple. Lots of people can't afford an iPhone or an iPad so an android device is a way of getting nearly the same product but at a cheaper price.

The reason apple products are more expensive is because they're better. You pay for what you get.

And I often buy music off amazon instead of iTunes so I'm certainly not locked into apple in that respect.

Just my opinion of course. 

sorry pal but that's the biggest load of s4ite I've ever heard. price is nothing to with it. android used to be behind iphone but now it's way way ahead and only did hard apple people still buy apple products. if you think your getting a better product from apple just because you've paid more for it then I think you've got more money than sense. big SD card works better than any phone anyway so what does it matter

Price has nothing to do with it?  Riiiiight...    It has something do with it, because most android phones are free on contract for a start.  In addition, what I said about there being far more manufacturers of Android phones contributes significantly to the market dynamics.

To be honest, your previous posts and this one prove that you are just another one of these anti-Apple fanboys on your personal hate campaign.  I'm not a die-hard Apple person as you put it.  I've got all kinds of technology from various manufacturers, bought because it was the nicest looking and best performing of what was out at the time.  Just so happens that as a tablet, I find iPad more accessible and desirable than any Android tablet I've used.  As far as phones go, come contract renewal, I'll be considering Android because both products meet all of my requirements now.

I'm all for people having their own opinions and making their own choices based on them, but you're just talking smack. It's also a bit rich saying he's got more money than sense when you are buying a brand new GTD...  Puts things into perspective really.

I could of course be a million miles wrong McMaddy, but do I just detect a subtle undertone that you don't like Apple products 

Thing is, some of us (like me), get issued an iPhone with work so have no real choice in the matter, so we just get on with it. TBH, I use my iPhone 4S for 3 things, making phone calls, checking my works email and to play music and it does those very well indeed. I don't play games or have a million apps, and so long as any phone does the above, I'm happy.

As for music in the car, well I have an iPod touch (yes I know another IOS device but it works well), a couple of 32gb SD cards loaded with music and a USB stick. Oh and my current RNS-510 has about 10gb on its hard drive as well, and ill make sure my most listened to music is loaded onto the HDD of the Discover Pro Nav when the car arrives, so I think whether you have an Android or iPhone, it doesn't really matter all that much as there are so many other ways to play music in the MK7 Golf.

@gryzor how does me buying a new gtd make a difference? I don't like apple products full stop but that's only my personal opinion. price has got nothing to do with it at all and what the hell is an anti apple fanboy ffs! if you can't have your own opinion about something without being berated on here then what's the point?? it's what makes us individual with a mind of our own and not mindless sheep

So, price has nothing to do with it, at all?  You're seriously deluded.  You're the one who went on about having more money than sense, which like I said, is a bit rich coming from somebody buying a GTD when they could have had something very similar but much cheaper.  If you want it explaining, an anti-Apple fanboy is somebody who deliberately goes out of their way to hate their products for no reason other than they are a successful company with desirable products and a loyal following, which is fair enough.  If you don't want to get berated, don't come onto a forum and just spurt out mindless smack about iCrap this and Apple sh4t that.  There's nothing wrong at all with hanging an opinion, just the way you express it.

I've said enough anyway, taking this thread right off track.

I REALLY hope our cars arrive soon as I think the wait is making us testy...

Apple is more expensive and I do take this into account, but it is not vastly more if you get the right contract.  Apple is more stable I find, which I like but you don't get the same range of apps as you get with Android which to me is possibly a bigger deal.

I don't like the Apple attitude though (too controlling), and they rarely update their hardware.  Also they seem a bit arrogant.  Apply always makes a big deal about how intuitive it is and how simple and amazing and perfect.  I got an iPad which I'm using right now and have found it to be the exact opposite of that.  Infuriatingly awful in fact...

Pros and cons on each side.  But it's definitely not one thing that makes me choose and I use both systems daily.  Am also developing an app on Android which will be replicated for iPhones once done (if it actually sells)

could you not have bought something similar but didn't?? can't really see my choice of car has anything to do with it. by your pointless comments though you seen like an apple fanboy. that's your choice is just isn't mine. the only deluded one is you who quite clearly thinks that everything they say must be correct. I'll say it again price has nothing to with it!! I'll continue to say what I think about products I don't particularly rate but at the end of the day is only one opinion, my own which I'm entitled to. you have your own ideas and that's fine, good luck to you.

anyway using an SD card instead of anything android or I is better anyway so it doesn't really matter
