My old phone died and terminal phone-itus set in.

I picked up the new puppy yesterday and wow, I’m impressed!

It’s a very smart machine. The new baby is an Android based HTC Sensation. It’s thin, fast, 4G, and very smart… also it was expensive as hell.

But it works, and my old phone had gotten just too dang flakey for words.

So new phone and learning all the new features there are a lot of those.

One of the funniest things about it is that I can share pictures, or videos directly with my DLNA enabled TV.

I can also print to my existing 3 year old printer.

These features are not available on my iPad. If I want to put a video up on the big screen, I need an apple TV. If I want to print, well I can but only to select printers. I can purchase an application that does an ok job but it’s a bit kludgey in it’s operation.

In short I’m more and more convinced that Android is the way to go for my phones, and future tablets.

Sorry Apple…. as much as I like your sense of design, you’re just too dang fussy about what devices you’ll interface with, and how your products communicate with those devices. Why the hell did you cripple bluetooth in the iPad 1? Oh well it doesn’t matter… my next tablet is going to be Android.

Uhh Apple, you should probably remember that when a company no longer listens to the customer… the customer will move on to a company that is listening.
