And thats about it for this post. While there are things that I miss on the iPhone, none of it is enough to make me want to switch back.
I do feel that the text input system on iOS devices are far superior than Android ones. I use Google IME for my Japanese input method on Android as it predicts a load of place names correctly like Musashi-koyama [武蔵小山] but it does not spell check or predict English.
The stock UI for the iOS seems much more refined and slick - some Android apps look great - most tend to look terrible ><
Scrolling for iOS apps are more often that not smooth but Android does get jerky from time to time - less of a problem on the S3 though. I also miss the iOS Keynote app too.
I also do feel that the build quality of the hardware is generally much better for the iPhone - I feel they look and feel better and the user experience is well thought out.
Having a pretty phone alone however just does not make the cut for me - I'd rather have a not so good looking phone that does what I need - practicality, functionality and freedom over appearance.
We all have different workflows and needs - Android enables users to customise their device to do pretty much what they need to improve and automate their workflow. The iPhone however needs to wait for apps to come out to allow for some of that customisation.
I got sick of the restrictions placed on me for a device (iPhone) that I paid for which ended up wasting my time for doing simple tasks (like playing an MTS file).
If you want to save time by improving workflows through technology then I recommend Android - but only if you replace the stock OS. The OS that carriers or manufacturers put on the phone tends to be muddy for some reason. There are many different choices of operating system that you can choose from which I'm sure folks will recommend in the comments below.

I ran (with lots of help from Tommy Dykes and James Thomas) a .Net Gadgeteer workshop between three of the design courses at Northumbria University: 3D Design, Design for Industry, and Interactive Media Design. We spent a day on teaching through examples and a day on the students' own one-day projects and then launched them on this year's Microsoft Research Design Expo. Lots of great design work and I had a blast.

I've noticed that my gadget photos get a lot of views.

Technology is a wonderful way to make our life easier. We can stay in contact with friends all over the world. Use Facebook, Twitter or Email within seconds from the palm of our hand, anywhere and anytime! On the downside, we are also guilty of using and texting at inappropriate times such as in a meeting or during dinner, working or even while driving! Only because we have the opportunity to do it, does not mean we have to…..but we do. For example: yesterday during the Red Bull Stratos event, I saw a guy using his smartphone during the live event in the studio and that’s the reason for this project. As much as these gadgets are for helping us in our lives, they also steal our time and are putting us in our own jail.
Please keep an eye out and take the opportunity to change it!
This is from the first day out and about with the new fisheye, well actually it was about 5 mins with the new fisheye as i got to the cliffs and saw that there was a decent swell so i went surfing instead! (still got the surfing disease and just cant ignore the call of the waves)
But, in the time i was there, as well as spotting the nordic walker (see previous vertorama) i also bumped into my mate Jeremy (WightPod here on flickr) and grabbed a quick portrait of him posing with his latest homemade gadget. Not sure exactly how to describe it, but i think its a sort of extreme fisheye of sorts and i'm looking forward to seeing what the results look like
