Google announced the availability of Google Now for iPad and iPhone, and the iTunes Store has the updated Google Search app. There are a number of Android lovers who mourn the loss of their beloved, only-available-on-Android, Google Now feature. Admittedly, I’m among the pack of mourners. My body and mind hurled the same range of emotions I… Continue Reading

Is Android Only Better Because It’s Cheaper?
In a post heard around the world, Gizmodo blogger, Sam Biddle, argues Android only gets to play with the big boys because it’s for poor people, and poor people (ergo minorities) buy Android devices. In other words, Apple is for wealthy whites (and sometimes minorities), so get over it. Biddle goes on to argue, essentially, that… Continue Reading
No More iOS Envy
Last year I wrote this post. This year I had a mental relapse and wrote this post. Essentially, I got blinded by a fancy, glittery item, that promised “quick results with no effort.” Those posts all came before this one, and before I had a chance to fully use my Asus Transformer Pad Infinity, or… Continue Reading
From iOS to Android: Is it Worth Jumping?
One of the biggest search keywords on this blog almost always is “moving from apple to android.” As Android phone sales outpace Apple, I’m sure that the question of whether to switch will become even more prevalent.

Android Versus Apple: How to Choose
There’s a lot of reasons why I like Android, but admittedly, there’s some jealousy too on my part when I see a shiny iPhone or sleek looking iPad. The truth is, when I selected my first Android device, I was doing it out of spite to AT&T. I hadn’t intended to become a Droid lawyer,… Continue Reading
Why Apple Continues to Beat Android, At Least For Now

Despite Android’s claims of dominance, the true reason iOS continues to outshine Android is because iOS maintains one unified operating system. Quite simply, you know when you purchase an… Continue Reading
Does Android Really Compete With iPad?
As the Android OS begins overtaking Apple’s iOS, a large number of iOS fans have started highlighting the “extreme” differences between the two operating systems. For instance, check out this post where I discuss a similar critique posed by Ramesh. Well, here’s another follow-up on from CBS Moneywatch via PC World. This time, the “killer” arguments… Continue Reading
Why I Still Envy iOS
I‘ll admit it. Recently, I’ve drooled over iOS, and the new iPad 2 and iPhone. I know, it’s all “smoke and mirrors,” but admittedly, there are some flaws in Android OS which iOS covers. Since most of the applications I use are available on Android, it’s a no brainer that I still love my Android… Continue Reading
