Android Vs. iOS
In this post I am going to attempt a “fair” comparison of the two most popular smartphone operating systems. To give you just a little background, I have owned an iPhone and an Android based device. It is not exactly an apples to apples* comparison, but they serve the same purpose and have similar functions. Also, I will not get into the iPad or Galaxy tab for this comparison and I will plan on doing a future post comparing tablets.
* pun intended
CR-48 Update
After using Google’s new CR-48 netbook as my primary computer for a couple of weeks, I am finding out just how much I like this computer. When I want to jump online to quickly lookup an address, check email, or do just about anything, I am reaching for this netbook instead of my Dell laptop. It’s just so much faster to get online and do what I need to do.
I’m also trying to use the same keyboard buttons on my laptop that don’t exist! All of the “new” features the CR-48 offers, I feel I’m missing on other computers. I can definitely see these being popular when they get them released.
Christmas Came Early! (Google CR-48)
I unexpectedly received a CR-48 a couple days ago. That’s right. Google’s new test unit for their new Chrome OS operating system. I really did not think I would get one but I’m not complaining.
First off, there have been a lot of reviews posted already saying “This thing is beautiful”, and a lot saying “This thing is ugly”. They are both correct. This is not a production unit; therefore no logos, branding, etc. of any kind. The entire exterior features a rubberized surface. It is not glossy, it will not get fingerprints(unless you are eating a bag of chips while using one). I really like that. The matte finish also extends to the screen. I love it. The screen isn’t flawless, but no more glare from overhead lights.
