So, as many, I have had a lot of iPhones...

    Apple Watch with Android? It's possible, sort of...

    For those 2 or 3 of you wondering if it's possible to use an AW with an Android phone, the answer is sort of. It seems that Apple has been continuously changing the AW's to be more and more independent of their mother phones. Anyway I'm a tinkerer at heart so I decided to give this a go with...

    Call Feature on Android Mobiles via Cellular like in Apple Watch

    How is that there is no Android mobile with cellular calling feature like Apple Watch's (Cellular version) ?

    A friend of mine is now using Apple Music via Android and the desktop/Web clients, but no personal station has been created yet.

    Other Why my next phone will be an iPhone after 11 years on Android

    I got my first smart phone my senior year of high school back in 2009. It was some cheapo Virgin Mobile hunk of junk with a slide out keyboard. And I absolutely loved it. I loved the variety of apps. I loved that it was open-source. I loved the interface and customizations. But most of all, I...

    Moved to Android

    After being a huge fan of Apple since 2006 when I bought my first Apple product (a Macbook), I decided to switch.
