And most of those participating don't even really know what they have. I'm tired of hearing about morons that think they're super hackers, because they rooted a phone.

I have an Android 2.3.4...something or other. It's a cheap-*** GoPhone, and it does everything I need it to. I'm currently on a cheap-*** Windows 8 netbook...that also does everything I need it to. Everyone these days seems really into wasting money on **** that they don't even know how to use.

Bottom line...The Note is too **** big and might as well be a tablet. Apple still makes the same trash they always have for people that don't know any better. And people are too **** stupid to realize that they're being sold the same **** over and over in a new package.

As for the iPhone, you don't fix, what isn't broken and if you feel that way about apple, why are you a mustang fan?

I would still have my droid 2 if verizon hadn't called to offer me an upgrade for free. My D2 was a great phone. Of course I upgrades to a D4, so not much of a difference lol.

For me, its a mind set. The android, windows, whatever makes more sense to me. Not in a common sense way, just how to use it. I pick up an apple product and have to think about what I'm doing. My D2 was my first android, and I was able to understand it better the first day then I was when I messed around with the iphone.

Same goes for when I'm on my pc vs my girls apple.

Its just makes more sense to some.

Thanks! Had a AT&T pre-paid when I was there last and was happy with the signal, only lost it once or twice on Hickam.

I have had an iPhone for the last three years, way better than the Blackberry I had in Hawaii. I haven't had issues with either of my phones and had them jailbroke at one point, just don't mess with them enough to care. I am used to my iPhone now and know where everything is, but the same could be said when I switched from PC to Mac at the house.

I hear ya on the pc to mac switch but thankfully i was raised with tech around me so i learned pretty quick. Just the different layout/format is the main seperation but overall they both do pretty much the same stuff.

Still haven't messed with Win 8 too much. I am hardly on my Mac since my internet at the house blows, mostly doing photography stuff when I am, prefer the Mac for that. I tend to do almost everything from my iPhone or iPad, mostly my phone.

It doesnt even read the AirPort wireless network card at all so the only internet i get on there is of its direct cable ethernet connection. Idk whats goin on/:

I used to have a MacBook Pro, was happy with it. Have thought about getting another one, but don't see myself using it much. Have the iMac for the house and iPad when I travel.

Yea i sold my ipad because i picked up the laptop, which was alot better for school. Now though i kinda just wanna get a new ipad and bluetooth keyboard to go with it.
At the same time though the laptop would allow for way more programs and whatnot to work that an ipad couldnt do.

I think ill get a new laptop after i grab the ipad mini. That thing is just fun

I can understand that. I don't really have a need for a laptop, finished with school and I don't do any work stuff when I'm at home.
