Android

If Android is intuitive then I'd like to hire you to explain to my mom how to use it so I don't have to. :roll:

It is intuitive, but I wouldn't want to explain it to my mother. The fact is, some people aren't ever going to see a computer as intuitive because they lack the knowledge to understand new technology. That's not the tech's fault.

I am not confused by it - but then computers are my business. I am annoyed by it, just like I'm annoyed by almost everything that the so-called designers of UI systems do.

I don't find Android intuitive at all, everyone in my family has Samsung phones and I just don't get it. I've had a crappy Blackberry for years, and while it is easy enough for me to use, it is a piece of shit phone. I've always had problems with computers and technology, I just don't understand it at all. Then I tried my friend's Mac, and wow. I've only ever had PC's, but Macs are so much better! I got an iPad when my crappy laptop died a few years ago, and I bought a Macbook Pro this year, I've never been happier. Getting an iPhone when I'm going to the states next week (they're too expensive in Europe), and I am so excited.
I know a lot of people who give me crap for liking Apple products, but I don't care. I'm not tech savvy, and Apple makes products for non-tech savvy people. Android seems to be intuitive for the tech savvies though, so my brother prefers it for that reason, my mother is like me and absolutely hates it.

This statement contradicts itself. The word 'intuitive' means you don't need any knowledge in order to understand, here's from the dictionary:
--- Quote ---Intuitive: using or based on what one feels to be true even without conscious reasoning; instinctive.

So yeah, if you need knowledge about technology to understand it, it's not intuitive.
