Japan recommends iPhone over Android

Then the iPhone came out in Japan and changed all that - it was the only notable phone on the Japanese market at the time with a touch screen and decent computer connectivity.

 

I had used the iPhone since then and upgraded once to the iPhone 4S. Being a Mac user, the iPhone only increased my Apple Fanboi-ism. The iPhone enabled me to increase productivity in my daily workflow.

 

But while I still am a Mac user, the Apple magic has started to fade away. One of the reasons was the introduction of the very disappointing MacBook Pro Retina which I bought and returned immediately due to the screen resolution - not good at all for anybody working with web graphics - and no - its nothing to do with apps being Retina ready or not.

 

1024px x 768px images look tiny at native resolution - my clients dont want download sizes of images blown up just for Retina users.

 

Another reason is that as I became busier, I found myself wasting time getting information onto my iPhone. I work in the TV industry and deal with many file formats - I wasted time converting videos (waiting) and then transferring them to my iPhone via a cable. Everything had to go through iTunes! There were not even apps from Apple which did the converting meaning that one had to use tools like Video Monkey - is it still like this?

 

I also deal with sensitive images of unreleased figures, anime titles and wot not but images are all managed through iTunes - they all show up in the photo gallery which is not good either - I would get into heaps of trouble by my clients if somebody saw something they shouldn't - same with all the ecchi images too ^^

 

The iPhone started to become very restrictive for my workflow and so I switched to Android. I already reviewed my Samsung Galaxy S3 so today I will be talking about how its been using Android for over half a year and why I'm not one of the 80% who would recommend iPhone.
