Hi Tom.
that's fair enough, as I said I have used my Iphone for some of those
particular things albeit I haven't used the ocr system yet, since generally
I've worked things out so that all my most important mail from say the
university, the health serviceor my telephone company gets delivered by
E-mail, (I have a separate address for this), while those few things it's
not possible for get delivered to my dad (actually only the local counsel do
this because they're morons!).
I will say though portability of a device for books and music is a very
useful thing, as is being able to for example check local news or weathe.
Indeed, it's rather nice now that when I go to my local sandwich shop who
have a wrack of mnewspapers for people to read while drinking coffee, I
still can't just grab a paper and glance at it, but I can whip out my phone
and read a book, listen to music or check local news where as previously I
just wouldn't bother taking my laptop on a basic hour's walk like that.
I also admit I am a big fan of Siri as I said, particularly for instant
notes and instant phone calls and setting things, it's just so easy to say
"phone my brother" or "text my parents to say I'll be late" rather than
having to mess around with finding the interface iin various applications.
So I do agree on the system, albeit as I said at present games just don't
seem to be as available for android and I've been very impressed with some
of what has been done on the Iphone so even if you get an android phone such
as the nexus for financial reasons I'd considder getting an Ios device in
the future, though equally if your going to buy one I can personally
recommend the Iphone for the amount of things it does including gamess since
my experience with the platform has been, if not entirely universally
positive certainly far more good than bad, for all things like having to use
Itunes just to rtransfer books and music onto my Iphone and the Icon
movement and organization system (which despite Kerry's advice I've still
not got to work).
All the best,
Dark.
