"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by each experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) American columnist, lecturer and humanitarian.
On the Galaxy Android:
I use "Business Calendar" every few hours (it syncs with multiple google accounts and allow setting multiple reminders for the same event).
I use "Timeriffic" to turn off the phone in the night.
I use "Shazam" to figure out songs playing on the car radio.
I use "Tunein Radio Pro" to listen to BBC World News while driving.
I DONT Use the Android phone to play games
I DONT use the Android phone to browse the web (too small)
I DONT use the Android phone to take videos or photos (I have fancy SLR)
I hate (really HATE) branding myself. I hate folks who say I am a "Liberal" or a "Conservative"... an "Apple" guy or a "Microsoft" guy... or a "Ford" or a "Chevy" dude.
I take a stance on a case-by-case basis. I own a Samsung Galaxy S phone and love it. Most of my apps are utilities I use to make life easier (i.e. I am not one who aspires to play games on a tiny-screen footprint device). I really dig the phone (except for the crappy AT&T service).
About two months ago.. I purchased my FIRST-EVER Apple product - An IPAD 2. About one month ago, I bought a Asus Transformer Tablet - which I promptly returned.
The problem is not the device itself - its the lack of apps. APPS is the main driver. Don't own a boat if you don't live close to the water. To make full use of that boat... you need water ! Not a small pond... but a lake so you can enjoy your purchase.
That's the problem with the Android Tablet world - not enough quality apps.
Don't take my word for it - do a Google News search for "New Ipad App" and filter it to show the last one week. Just see the amazing number of apps. Yes, not all of them are great... but its testament to the fact that software companies realize where the highest ROI is.
I would never own an Android tablet until they standardize the hardware platform to ensure that apps work consistently. I agree with the article.
