Re: Android vs iPhone

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My company uses Google Apps for Business, so it's kind of a no-brainer.
 We're Android all the way.  As one would expect (since Google does
Android), things like gmail, google calendar, and gqueues (task management)
are wonderful.

And contact syncing is an absolute breeze because all your gmail contacts
are automatically synced to the smartphone.  Add one either place and in a
matter of seconds it shows up on the other.  Phone craps out?  No problem.
 Get a new phone, sign into gmail and there they are.

Two of my sons switched from Android a year or so back to the iphone 4.  My
HTC EVO 3D (now obsolete, BTW) is just as fast.  But they just _had_ to
have an iphone.
