For developers, Android users aren’t the same as iPhone users

January 10, 2012

John Gruber on the difference between Android users and iOS users: The truth is, the average Android user is not the same as an average iPhone user. iPhone users surf the web more, they’re more willing to buy software, they’re more willing to install and use apps.

A 7in tablet is not just a smaller 10.1in tablet

December 26, 2011

I’ve recently been using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, one of the newest generation of Android tablets running Honeycomb (an Ice Cream Sandwich update is in the pipeline.

Kensington KeyFolio Pro review

December 6, 2011

There are, littering my house, more than a few different iPad keyboards. You see, I’m someone who spends a rather large amount of his time writing.

October 23, 2011

Mathew gets it: I’m sure when Bill Gates looks at the iPad or the iPhone, he thinks about all the features it doesn’t have, or all the things that it can’t do. But no one else thinks about those things — all they are interested in is what they can do, and how much fun [...]

Make no mistake about it: the iPad’s on-screen keyboard is actually very good.

June 14, 2011

Other people have picked apart Aaron Holsgrove’s post on “Why Windows 8 is not fundamentally flawed as a response to the iPad“, but I think it’s worth going over more. It’s a catalogue of mistakes, which would keep the average commentator going for days. Take this, for example: If Apple never released the iPhone, we’d [...]
