I should've mentioned that those stats were worldwide. Again, that is what I heard on the radio news. They could be wrong, heaven forbid I heard it wrong...lol!
Just what I heard...

Yeah it might be called that. We just started the switchover in year end as they have no program in place to transfer files. Do you have experience with it? Pros or Cons?

Makes me wonder way Apple iPhone 5 even made the news selling only 5 million phones and just effecting the GDP by 1/2 to 3/4 present...

koolkahuna, are you using Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions by chance?

We use Android tabs and phones.
Has anyone tried Evernote? Works with BB, IPHONE, ANDROID,PC & MAC.
That is the number one app/program I use. I have in cloud storage very well organized pdfs, site pictures, audio files such as voice memos or sounds equipment was making on inspection.
I could probably explain it best as cloud computing with a road map how to organize and find things you have entered. If anyone is interested I will explain further. There are vids on Youtube that explain it as well as on their site.

I also use Quickbooks Online from any computer or my phone or tablet. My office manager can see what I've done almost immediately from her workstation as well. They also have a device that plugs onto an iphone to read credit cards for accepting payment. I'm told they are working on that for Android as well.

We have huge dataplans for cheap bux that we never exceed. 6GB/$30. If we use WIFI it only kills the battery quicker.

I haven't had any istuff but I'm not slamming the ibrand. I have had all three Samsung Galaxy phones with the SGIII being the best of the three. I will not be switching as I am sold on the quality and performance.

4s gonna get the 5 when i get another upgrade on my account. There doesn't seem to be too much difference in the two, kind of disappointing. I want it for the 4G coverage though, computers can't be fast enough for me, very impatient with them.

Yeah, they are nice. I just went in another direction. Do you have the 5 or the 4S?

Not my distributer, the maufacturer (York)

No my distributor did but i did my iphone and i wouldn't want any other phone and ive played with a Galaxy at the verizon store but not enough to like it or not, im used to apples products so im probably a little biased.

Yep.
Did you pay for your ipad?
Have you ever used a Galaxy?

It is. Same buttons, same methods of how you scroll and such. You can use your phone apps on it also, it just stretches it out a bit. I carry a wifi model and that has been sufficient. There is one spot that if I have to have something to look at (iom, etc), I just drive over there and use it.

To be honest, the PDF reader app does crash sometimes when you are trying to do a lot with it and have a bunch of other apps running. Keep in mind I do have an iPad 1 too.

Being able to bookmark individual pages is golden though. It saves a ton of time.

I rarely get on my pc anymore because of it also.

It is very similar to the iPhone, nearly identical

I use the HP Touch Pad, I got it when they were selling them off for $100. I rooted it and loaded Android on it, I use various apps to mobile hot spot to my phone for internet. I use Google drive to access my equipment literature of service facts, install manuals, and other HVAC books. (mainly use it for wire diagrams, troubleshooting, fan charts, programming thermostats ect ect. and GAMES!!!!) I highly recommend finding a tablet that works for you, and building a directory to access.

I carry an iPad 1 and it's great. I use an app called pdfreader which allows you to make folders and bookmark places in the file for quick reference. Having a tablet is the best thing short of having a laptop on you IMO.

It doesn't happen often, mostly when I have several tabs open in the browser, it will suddenly close down and I lose the tabs I was on.

it hasn't happened since the iOS6 update, maybe it's fixed.

The new iOS6 does have a crappy maps app. Overall the apple is a good product. If you are going to use it for certain apps it will be fine. However if you want to store a lot of documents such as office docs and PDFs, you won't like it as well as the android.

You can store PDFs in the book shelf but anything other than PDF format, you will have to buy an office suite such as quick office pro.

I would strongly recommend a tablet with the Android system. Way easier to organize files. Also the browser never crashes, unlike my iPad.
