Reactions to Gruber: Icon Aversion (or: Notification Gripes)

YES YES and YES.

i’ve been meaning to bitch about that for a while. also, i’m SO GLAD you mentioned the $CARRIERNAME being slapped in the top bar of iOS. ridiculous! what a waste of space! 

the Android notifications system is so much better. i was using my iOS5 iPod Touch the other day and got very very annoyed that the calendar notifications can’t be removed from the notifications bar. it’s ridiculous!!!

thank-you.

johngruber:

I’ve noticed another anti-Android meme developing. This one is against Notification Icons, a feature that iOS lacks and I miss it quite a bit on my iPhone.

John Gruber:

Nevermind the Siri rip-off, what makes this so very Android is all that junk in the status bar in the screenshots.
