It is a general testimony to how cheap (better: "frugal"!) I am that have yet to get a smartphone. I just felt I was smart enough without one.
Actually, I simply didn't see the need for one in my ministerial circumstances, especially with a minimal 2GB data plan that would add $30 a month to my bill. Well, I am starting to see how one can be useful, especially with the Logos app, and I am close to ordering an iPhone 4s/32GB.
Before I do so, however, I thought I would bring this question before my enlightened fellow Logos members.What leads me to Apple is that they simply work. They are not be to configure and tweak. I could do that--I taught basic computer programming on Apple II machines way back in the mid-80's--it's just that life is short and I don't want to. Is there, however, an Android out-of-the-box-non-buggy good with high quality apps either already installed or easily acquired for personal productivity (in essence replacing my old Sony TH55 PDA/handheld computer) and can work as a really good MP3 player (replacing my ancient 4th generation iPod Classic)? Oh, and the fonts on the Android phone need to be really sharp like those of retina display of the iPhone 4s--960x640 pixel resolution at 326 ppi. I will want to do some Logos work when away from the computer.
Thanks a lot. I plan to order on Monday, and this will take care of my gagdet for Logos desires till a tablet with sharp fonts (sharper than any tablet I've seen thus far) is released. Right now, I'm anticipating iPhone 4s and iPad 3, but that could change.
