Orphaned Androids And You

This morning I came across this blog post describing the state of affairs for owners of Android devices and the updates to their operating system.  Or lack of updates.

The post is an informative read and one that I will be recommending to anyone who asks me about whether they should buy an Android phone or not.  As someone who has owned two seperate Android devices, along with a whole slew of other smart phone devices, I can say that it's a real eye opener.

Now before someone starts getting on my case for being an Apple fan boy let me say up front that while I love my iPhone I'm not married to the thing.  There are a lot of things about Android that I liked, and miss.  There are some things about my iPhone I don't like.  In fact, except for my one brief two month stint as a BlackBerry user there are things I like and miss about all the smart phones I've used.  As for BlackBerry the only thing I miss is nothing.

RDU Photos

After leaving Chapel Hill I stopped for lunch at a Hooter's for the first time ever and had the absolute best server at a resturant I have ever had, Chanel.  

After lunch I figured I would stop by the observation deck at RDU to try and snap some plane pictures.  

Here's the link to the album I posted on Flickr.

New Chapel Hill Photos

This morning I loaded up and headed over to Chapel Hill and Carrboro to do a bit of photo taking.

Milestone

As often happens with me I had a random thought.  After doing the math I realized I've had my iPhone 4 longer than I've had any other smartphone device.  Prior to the iPhone the longest I had a smartphone before getting bored and moving on was my old Motorola Q9c which I had for nine months.  I've been sporting the iPhone for nine months and one week and have no desire to ditch it in favor of some other device.

Considering I went through six smartphone in three years before the iPhone I think this is something of an accomplishment for me.

What Size Do You Need?

Lately I have had more than a few people come up and ask me what device and sized device they should purchase.  The release of the iPhone 4S and the newish 8GB iPhone 4 along with the holiday shopping season probably has a lot to do with the questions.  Who wouldn't like to find a shiny new iPad under their Christmas tree?  Or maybe a new iPhone?  Heck, there is nothing wrong with buying yourself a new toy every so often and I should know that!

I decided to write up some ideas and suggestions on the matter.  Keep on reading.
