Anyone with a modern phone can\u2019t have but noticed the full fledged war between Samsung and Apple. Having had more than just a few of the late Mr. Jobs creations, I was more than slightly hesitant to jump onto the Android ship. However since texts are such a huge part of my job, I was amazed at watching someone with an Samsung S4 use the \u201cSwype\u201d<\/a> function. I had always wondered how people were able to text so fast back to me that I had trouble following the conversation. They literally could send me three or four perfect short texts faster than I could send a single error-filled one.<\/p>\n

They never raised their fingers off the \u201ckeyboard\u201d, but just swished to back and forth over the keys and the phone selected the correct word. Simply amazing. It really made my iPhone feel primitive. So jump I did, selecting a couple of the Note 3s with the unique detachable pen. The pen allowed me to do things I couldn\u2019t even begin to think of with a iPhone. The larger \u201cFull HD Super AMOLED<\/a>\u201d image was simply in another league. You can actually use it surf the web and see it without squinting. Throw in a 64gig micro SD card and you\u2019ve got capacity too. The unique \u201cwidgets\u201d capability was something that took a little getting used to, but what it offers is just another example of how Apple has fallen behind. My Note 3 is far more organized than any of my iPhones due to its split app functions (most used and everything else, in two different places).<\/p>\n

One huge advantage was being able to give iTunes the finger and just use Windows file manager for managing audio, video and pictures \u2026 wow, what an improvement!!!<\/p>\n

All is not all beer and skittles in the Android world as I have an anti-virus scanner that was never needed with the locked down Apple product. And not to be over-looked is the learning curve, and for some it may be actually too steep to flee the Apple compound, as it requires you think in a different and perhaps seemingly strange way, but it\u2019s more logical. And once learned, I can\u2019t imagine going back \u2026 it\u2019s really that much of an improvement. It can\u2019t help but leave me with the impression that this is what Steve Jobs really wanted for the iPhone.<\/p>\n
