iPhone or Android, which do you own? Posted on: 30.01.2013 by Kamala Temple Just for fun poll. I have a macbook pro, but have always used android phones. | |

But, I don't plan on doing anything with it besides normal phone things (calling & texting), driving directions, and having a camera on me 24/7. Maybe playing music, but I'm not sure it's worth using iTunes. So…to change my poll answers: Phone: iPhone 4s or 5 (probably going to flip a coin) Tablet: Nexus 7 (about to have its data plan canceled…or be sold.) Daily use Laptop: Thinkpad running Linux (as soon as it friggin ships…ordered it over a week ago…another week to wait) DJ/Music Laptop: 13" Macbook Pro (when the new one comes in, I'm going to wipe it and just install Serato DJ and Maschine) Music Desktop + server: Insanely overkill hackintosh that's also running a small army of VMs. |

I have NEVER had issues with this machine (bar some audio drop-outs since the 2.6 update) but feel that it is the luxury of this set-up that keeps it running so smoothly. As you pointed out in one of your other posts, anything other than a 13" isn't a true laptop, and a 15.4" ASUS is just way too big. So, it's coming down to size, battery life and uncomplicated use. Whether or not it OS X is 'essential for music' is still up for discussion. Edit - why does 'real music software' not run on Linux? |

Me not liking it comes from Apple dropping some of the finer points of Posix compliance that do things like breaking rsync under weird circumstances, the fact that Time Machine won't back up everything even though it works for most people, the fact that it doesn't run an NFS server or Kerberos realm as reliably as Linux can. And in my "real life" I end up having to use a lot of software that works better on Linux anyway. And, well, it can run a web browser just as well. Plus Linux is more fun to toy with. And I havne't found anything on OS X that helps me organize my thoughts/tasks/projects as well as DWM on linux. It's mostly the little things that normal people don't care about. |

| Blanche Dumke 28.07.2013 | I got an iPhone 4s and really would like to get an MBP, but they're so fkn expencive here, can't afford one.. |
| Rena Estabrook 28.07.2013 | I use an iPhone and a Macbook Pro with Boot Camp for Windows. The Tablet I use often is a Nexus 7. This arrangement works pretty well. |
| Joesph Kasian 27.07.2013 | I've had every iPhone since launch day but recently went and tried the Galaxy S4, it really didn't get on with me so I traded it back for the 32GB 5 just so I can trade it in for the 5S when it lands. Some people are just better suited to certain products - plus my 3 other computers/laptops are Apple so it made sense. |
| Debroah Hune 27.07.2013 | Iphone too expensive and a bit of a monopoly, i own the Android. |
| Yevette Matatall 22.02.2013 | Had the iphone 4 for nearly 2 years (longest i ever had without loosing) lost it a few months ago and miraculously bounced back to me, only to loose it 1 week later. Decided to change to the new samsung s3, lost it after having it 3 weeks, now im going back to iphone, im convinced ill just get the 4s but im sure ill end up with the 5. |
| Ninfa Mazariegos 14.02.2013 | Still rocking my two and a half year old Galaxy S Vibrant with an overclocked 1.2Ghz Toxic Heros Crazy8 2.2 voodoo rom with flashable color themes. Voodoo Sound is the bee's leg connectors! Here's the info on the rom from XDA. http://community .xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1203549 Mine is currently the green theme. |

| Wilson Durrum 07.02.2013 | MBP and iPhone4 |
| Breanne Penge 07.02.2013 | MBP, samsung galaxy S3. |
| Ashanti Andreacchio 06.02.2013 | iMac 27", Macbook white, Macbook Pro 15", iPhone 4 and iPad 1. also have a total beaten up Toshiba 11" that is still running fine. Never ever had an Android phone used to be all Windows mobil and did try Android on some of them. |
| Len Lukawski 06.02.2013 | iPhone 4S, Samsung i7 | 8gb | 255 ssd, MBPR 15. The audio/midi performance on osx is head and shoulders above windows but there's also 101 places where osx makes things way more complicated than it is in windows. Actually, I have 2 MBPRs - identical machines. The 2nd one is for work. I lasted about 2 days before I said FffUUUccccKkkk it! And installed Parallels and Win7. I would install Win8 but I don't want to chance $2000 worth of defenestration. |

| Barton Rigazio 04.02.2013 | Google's LG Nexus 4 yeeeeeee! I don't miss the iPhone at all! For anyone considering switching to Android, the Nexus 4 is the way to go :-) It's been quite hard to get a hold of, but recent news is that they finally got a grip on their supply. As of right now, Google Play store has the Nexus 4 in stock! |

| Dorie Scelzo 01.02.2013 | I kind of lied in the poll. I don't have a smart phone anymore……my most recent iPhone broke and I chose just not to replace it. I'm using an Alcatel clone of a nokia brick that I got for $20, and I cancelled my cel data plan. I answered as having an Android phone because I have a Nexus 7. IMO, it's a hands-down better device than any iPad……mostly because it's cheaper. The WiFi + HSPA+ version was either $300 or $350…and it works as a GPS and dumb internet machine for that price. I wouldn't pay any more for what it does, and I like that it didn't extend my contract. FWIW, I guess I have both Apple & PC computers. I just don't run Windows. My desktop is a hackintosh…and I'm 90% sold on switching to Linux for daily use (+ Hackintosh for music)…and my next laptop is likely to be a Thinkpad……the size I want…easily upgradable RAM & drive chassis…and WWAN that's supported under linux and contract-free is a better package than anything Apple is offering. And for what I actually do with laptops (now that I have a hackintosh), Linux is a better choice for me……all I lose is a season of Doctor Who and a couple movies that I foolishly bought from iTunes. Actually, the only reason I'm keeping the MBP is occasional house parties. I wouldn't take my DDJ-SX anywhere else. If I could run OS X under xen or exsi with VT-d, I don't believe I'd ever buy another piece of Apple hardware at this point……I just don't like where they're going. |
