Clare Henney: January 2014

What kind of phone/gadget do you use? Do you use Android or Apple? I know a lot of people put a lot of stock in the “image” that goes with using an Apple gadget as opposed to using Android but for me, it’s a matter of practicality and function. Both types have their pros and cons and here are some of the important factors that made me consider my choice of gadget: Memory Card – I prefer having everything on my phone/tablet that I need. The fact that Apple doesn’t support memory card expansions is an issue for me.

iTunes – I do not own an Apple phone or tablet but I have been able to use them at one point or another. One issue that I have is the ease of transferring files from my laptop to the Apple gadgets. Do we really have to go through iTunes all the time? It’s so much easier with Android!

Gadget Choices – There are so much more choices in terms of gadgets with Android. Yes, I admit, quality before quantity with Apple but at least there are more choices with Android (which helps for people like me who prefer to acquire less pricey gadgets).
