There's Handoff, an Apple feature which lets you shunt websites and draft emails from the phone to the desktop. There's Apple's Airdrop, which lets you send files (mostly photos) wirelessly between iPhone and the Mac. There's Continuum, which lets you receive phone calls on the computer or iPad. But for my money, the best and most useful thing on the Mac is the Messages app, which lets you read and reply to text messages straight from the desktop. Originally, it would only work for Apple's own iMessage standard, but it was broadened earlier this year to include all text messages.

What you've been doing is neither seamless nor integrated. Into your operating system. It's a kludge, Tophat. It works only because you made it work. It doesn't work for everybody or every Android user.

MS and google play nice with each other

Does every Android phone sold this year run the same operating system?

When an operating system update is announced, will it work on most of the Android devices sold in the las 4 or 5 years?

Does your Phone Service Provider put cr@pware on your android Phone?

Can my 10 year old grand kid or my 70 year old wife use all the features on the Android device they bought this year?

The silliest case maid by PC Geeks is they think they are the target market of Apple when in fact there is only about 2% of the user base that could be considered Geeks, 98% of users are just people that want to do something on a computer, Apple knows that and makes it easy enough for them to do.

I have never felt compelled to go on a PC thread and comment about the character of the people that are interested in those threads.
