The Android is truly the smartest smartphone


I had my iPhone IV for over two years, and it was a huge step up from the blackberry type phone I had for a couple years before that. Before I had the IPhone I also had an original ipad, and it was useful for about a year - til I got the iphone - then the two were redundant (my wife still uses that ipad every day btw).

But before heading to China last March I picked up a Samsung Galaxy tab at CostCo.  I wanted to be able to have plenty of movies, music, and entertainment for the plane ride, and to cover down time on the trip. So $199 + $24 for the biggest storage chip possible - and I was up and running.

That's as much memory as the highest cost ipad, at 1/3 the price...

It didn't take long to see how versatile the Samsung was. While in China I found out that you can download torrents, roam the net, and do a lot more than with the ipad or even the later model iPhone.

So when the time came for AT&T to fork over a new phone (in exchange for pledging 2 years of my life), I went for the S4.

Yeah, it can pretty much replace my laptop - which an Apple product of any kind can never do for a heavy user and business client like me.

But moreover, it's SMART.

I can type volumes on the S4, and the more I type the more the phone knows what's coming next. It learns my personal jargon and my style of writing. 

I never thought tapping away on the phone would one day be more efficient than hammering on a full keyboard. But now sitting down with the computer or laptop just seems clunky and annoying.
