KYTX CBS 19 Tyler Longview News Weather SportsSPECIAL REPORT: iPhone vs. Android
TYLER (KYTX) - Loyalty to smart phone brands has become a full-blown rivalry. There's no question, people take sides when it comes to Androids versus iPhones.
But for all of you who haven't decided yet, CBS 19 is breaks down the similarities and the differences.
Smart phones are serious business these days. your smart phone is a portal to the modern world that you carry in your pocket or purse.
People put their lives into these devices – banking information, emails, personal calendars, and more.
iPhone and Android are the two biggest players in the market right now, and their loyal customers are speaking up for their brands loud and clear.
It's the battle of the smart phones.
Josh McCullough works at Best buy, and helps lots of people decide: iPhone or Android.
McCullough says, “There's definite loyalty, and it's one of those things – you tend to either be all Apple because you've invested everything into iTunes, or all Android because they like the openness they like, they want to be able to create their own experience.”
William Story is one of those people who's all about customizing, and he's 100 percent team Android.
“Once you know how to use it,” Story says, ”the capabilities of an Android, it just blows an iPhone out of the water.”
But iPhone enthusiast Charlie Brown disagrees.
“The iPhone seems a lot more user friendly.”
He says most of his friends are jumping on board.
“I've got some friends that have an Android that say they're going to get an iPhone,” Brown says.
“The biggest difference is that iPhone is almost 100% app based,” McCullough says, “whereas with the Android, while there are a lot of apps, you can do just about anything you want to in the browser.”
He says the app filled iPhone is why people think it's easier to use.
“More people believe the iPhone can do a lot more because it does have more apps,” McCullough says.
But the Android may get you where you need to go faster.
“So you can visit the banking site, or the restaurant site, without having to download their app before you do it.”
But, with an iPhone, you're guaranteed a uniform set up.
McCullough says, “iTunes is definitely an ecosystem in that once your on an iPhone, you're in Apple land.”
For some, finding everything they need in one place, is a plus – but others think it limits their freedom.
“With Android, you can do the Google market, you can do the Amazon app store, you can do get Jar, you can do so many different things,” McCullough says.
The Android may provide you openness – but unlike the iPhone, each model is different.
“The biggest complaint is that there is not a standard on Android, that the connectors are different, they're in different places.”
Katie Williams says she and her friend are at war over their smart phones.
“She's always trying to point out the things that the Android will do that the iPhone won't,” Williams says.
Most people's favorite smart phone capability can be found in both Androids and iPhones – voice actions.
“Google voice actions, have been on Android forever.”
It's the same as iPhone's new Siri, except android voice actions don't talk back.
Even though there are many similarities – the line in the sand has been drawn.
“iPhone!” Williams says.
Story, is staying put too. “I think I'm good with Androids, I think I'm good.”
If you're still on the fence, learn the differences.
McCullough suggests, “Play around with it to see which one you like. Talk to your friends and family, and see how comfortable you are with it.”
And if you do choose apple or android – get ready to join the rivalry.
With Android being free and open, there's a question of security. Experts say it may be easier to get a virus on an Android, but Apple has experienced hacking scams too – leaking personal information.
In the end though, both phones are pretty secure.
Buying a new smart phone is a big decision. In the United States, you usually deal with 2-year contracts, so make sure you check out all your options before you choose one.

Jerry Sandusky interview boosts ‘Rock Center,’ but CBS has last laugh
A 11th hour announcement that Bob Costas snagged a phoner with embattled ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sundusky gave Rock Center with Brian Williams a much-needed boost in the ratings Monday. the news magazine averaged a 1.3 rating/3 share and 4.4 million viewers, up 30% from last week, according to early results.
Still, that’s the equivalent of plugging a pin hole in the Titanic: NBC still floundered in fourth place on Monday (1.4/4, 4.6 million), with the Sing-Off not giving the Peacock much reason to croon a happy tune these days. it pulled a 1.5/4, flat with last week, and 4.7 million viewers. For more about NBC’s woes, check out Ken Tucker’s take here.
CBS’ comedy lineup dominated once again, with how I Met your Mother up 2% to a 4.5/12 and 10.3 million, followed by 2 broke Girls (4.8/12, up 4%, 11.6 million), Two & a Half Men (5.3/12, up 2%, 14.5 million), Mike & Molly (4.4/10, up 5%, 12.2 million), and Hawaii Five-0 (3.3/8, up 6%, 11.4 million). Each 18-49 ratings point equals 1.3 million.
ABC was second for the night with a 3.2/8, with Dancing with the Stars earning a 3.4/8 and 18.4 million, and 20/20 posting an 8% increase over Castle’s performance to a 2.8/7, thanks to Diane Sawyer’s interview with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. it averaged 13.3 million.
Fox was third, with Terra Nova earning a 2.3/6, down from 12%, and 7 million. (Hey, the net blames football on ESPN and WWE wrestling on USA!). House earned a 2.5/6, down 11%, and 6.6 million.
We saved the best for last: the CW beat everybody!
Eh, just kidding…just wanted to make sure you were still paying attention. the network only earned a .6/2 in the key demo and a .5/2 in its most important teen demo, after airing originals of Gossip Girl and Hart of Dixie.
Bottom line: ABC averaged the most viewers of the night with 16.7 million, followed by CBS (11.9 million), Fox (6.8 million), NBC (4.6 million), Univision (3.4 million), and CW (1.4 million). in 18-49, CBS was first with a 4.2/10, followed by ABC (3.2/8), Fox (2.4/6), NBC and Univision (1.4/4), and CW (.6/2).

Most NYC Restaurants Get An ‘A’ From The Health Department
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -Mayor Michael Bloomberg returned Monday to the Queens restaurant that received the city’s first-ever a grade last year to present them once again with the same honor.
Bloomberg ordered some scrambled eggs on burnt white toast for breakfast from Sparks Deli as he announced key findings about the first year of the city’s restaurant grading system.
WCBS 880′s Marla Diamond Inspects The News
Sixty-nine percent of restaurants inspected in the five boroughs over the past year have received As. So far, 90 percent of restaurants have been issued letter grades.
“I would much prefer to eat in a restaurant with an a. I think it says that the owners really care,” says Bloomberg.
Thirty percent of the restaurants in the city do not get A’s and that’s a source of indigestion for them, according to an industry spokesman.
“if we have to have a letter grade system, let’s have a , pass, you’re safe to serve the public. Or F, fail. We don’t need B’s and C’s that mislead the public, and really damage and shame restaurants,” Andrew Rigie, of the New York State Restaurant Association told CBS 2′s Tony Aiello.
The city health commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley says it’s still too early to gauge the effect of the letter grades on public health.
“We certainly hope that is going to be the case. That did happen in Los Angeles, a reduction in foodborne illnesses. But it’s too early to say here in New York,” Farley said. “every food establishment in New York City, from a corner deli to a five-star restaurant can have the best food safety practices if they train their staff and focus on food safety consistently.”
1010 WINS’ Stan Brooks reports: Making The Grade
Sparks Deli owner Tony Araujo says it’s not difficult.
“You don’t have to be scared of the board of health. The board of health gives you a lot of tools to help you,” he says.
Bloomberg says the grades have saved restaurants millions of dollars in fines.
“if you get an a and you still have some violations, because there’s always going to be some, we don’t fine you. And it’s a policy to encourage that have an a to keep an a,” says Bloomberg.
The letters are getting a big thumbs up from New Yorkers. Sixty-five percent in a recent survey say they base their restaurant choices solely on the grades.
