I’ve got a couple of close relatives who have Android phones, so I can do some close comparisons. I just have to say - after my comparisons - I just can’t ever envision myself with an Android phone.

To each his own. Apple folks are loyal to the point of total non-objectivity. I have a Google Nexus 7 tablet which is equal or better than an iPad for about half the cost. I like Apple but there's some great Android stuff out there.

Apple is a bit overrated - I've had several friends come to me breathlessly telling me what their iPhone/iPad/etc can do and I'm like oh yeah my Android device does that too yawn.

Being ... “objective” and what I see and have experienced you can beat Apple’s ecosystem for its interaction and tie in with everything else and really fulfilling the sires’ needs.

I can run movies from my computer to the iPad or iPhone. I can play the music from my cloud, or the computer or on the TV and through the iPad - or from the iPad (or iPhone) to the TV and stereo system.

I can interact on one device and have it automatically show up on another device, keeping all devices integrated and up-to-date. I can mark a web page on one device - and then find that same web page open and waiting for me on another device.

I can go on and on ... but the fact of the matter is that it’s a pure joy for the users to “use” and operate. I can’t even begin to over-emphasize this enough, even if I tried. It simply “works” for the users with minimal effort.

NOW .. I’ve heard of other people using different devices going through “contortions” to get some of this same kind of stuff to work on their devices - but it’s DEFINITELY not for the “faint of heart” ... :-) ...

You’ll find that the vast majority of users appreciate this integration, ease of use and not having to be a nerd in order to get all this working “together” smoothly.

Apple absolutely EXCELS in this!
