Let’s get to the big question: Is Android a suitable OS with which to get work done. The answer is mostly a yes, but with caveats. In the last month or so I’ve been using Android to get work done, I’ve been mostly surprised by what I could accomplish. I could email, write, move batches of files, edit photos and PDFs and more. In tests, I was even able to update a WordPress blog t... »
It’s been about a week since my last post on going Android at work. So far much of my time spent work on Android has been a lot more productive than I even suspected. I’ve talked about hardware here a little — I’ve essentially used the two best Android devices available in the Asus Transformer Infinity and the Nexus 7. But the real power behind Android has been the software... »
There are a lot of reasons people prefer Android over iOS – choice, openness, Google service integration and more. But one of the biggest reasons to go Android if you’re going mobile is the fact that you have access to your file system. This reason alone makes iOS a non-starter for me. I like putting files where I want them and I like to find them where I put them. And I prefer to orga... »
I’m the editor of a small weekly newspaper and run its website. I do a lot of different things, but what I spend do more than anything else is write and edit text documents. When I first started working with documents on a Mac (that was what the newspaper where I worked used) I wrote with Corel’s Word Perfect. Opening Office documents required translation software. It was a pain. That ... »
So I decided about two weeks ago that I wanted to begin using an Android tablet for work. Why would I do such a thing? Two reasons: 1) I really like Android. I’ve only really been using Android for about a year and a half. My first taste was a Barnes and Noble Nook Color that I rooted and flashed to CyanogenMod 7. From there, I got my first smartphone, A Samsung Galaxy S (was a long-time hol... »

Today we’re rolling out v3.2 of the Google+ app to Android and iOS; both versions include one of our most highly-requested feat... »
After many, many leaks and rumors, HTC has finally revealed its newest Android handset as the One X+. While the general look of the device is quite similar to the original One X, it has received a few cosmetic and decent internal changes. The phone itself looks a lot sleeker (and better looking than Samsung’s Galaxy S III in my opinion) with the three capacitive keys in red and a more ble... »
![Which is Better, Android Or iPhone? [Opinion]](/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/S3vsiPhone5-533x200.jpg)
I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to publish my thoughts on the whole Android (or more specifically the Samsung Galaxy S3) or iOS (again, more specifically the iPhone 5). I’ve read a tonne of articles, some supporting Samsung and others supporting the iPhone and reading through the comment sections of these articles, there is always a plethora of ‘discussion’ betwee... »
