The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XVIV

I should also mention, I rarely bother to upgrade my phone OS. Usually it just causes more problems than it solves. So a lot of those apps aren't even on

General rule of thumb. Buy an android phone today and it'll be outdated tomorrow. Buy an iPhone today and it'll be outdated 6 months from now, plus you'll be laughed at for not owning the newest apple thingie.

Tech rule of thumb: Android kills iOS in terms of customization and usability. iOS kills Android in terms of stability and simplicity. Although that's starting to change

Shiny new thing rule of thumb: iPhone is sleek and shiny. Android (minus M9) is all plastic and can feel chincy at times.

Verdict from the guy who owns and uses both daily: Android keyboard is better and I never notice the difference in screen resolution. Battery life is better on iPhone. Camera is slightly better on iphone. Get iPhone if you want battery life and ease of access. Buy Android if you want custom homescreens and user level access to everything.

Apple has been in the fuckin dark ages since the beginning of phones when it comes to damn keyboards. They steal every other design cue from Android, why not the keyboard?

My battery never goes down because I plug it in the car pretty much every time I drive. I set it right next to my e-brake, and the plug sticking out of the center console pocket keeps it from sliding forward off the console

My take on the camera is that you'll always be behind the technology curve, and you shouldn't be looking to your phone for high quality portraits anyway (at least yet - the technology just isn't there despite the advances and quality of some like the G4). If you need a camera, get a real one. Hell, a decent quality 30 year old used film camera for $250 off craigslist can still create much higher resolution prints than $5000 worth of digital camera equipment can. And if you're one of those that takes selfies with everything from your food to your driver seat to the ant you found crawling on the ground, please stop

Decent car camera on sale via Amazon today for $40. Just not sure if the cable is long enough to be fed through the roof liner and into a usb/power adapter.
