Any one that has siri is it really worth to get an iphone just for that?
I had an iphone now have android. Samdung handset Hardware not as solid as iphone. os not nearly as streamlined as ios.
But it does the job. The voice activated droid apps that i have tried for it are horrible.

Android phones are pretty comparable to the iPhone, but the iPad blows android tablets out of the water--it's so much more useful and has a ton more apps. You can use all iPhone apps on the iPad without re-buying, so if you think you are going to eventually get both, go with the iPhone.

Also unrelated, but I bought an awesome astronomy app for my decade old goto telescope that along with a $70 cable let's me point my phone (or tablet) at the sky, move it around to find a planet or nebula on its screen, and then press a button to slew my scope around to aim directly at the celestial object. Considering that I use the same device as an anchor alarm, chartplotter, TV remote, and navi for my car, it's no wonder that they're killing it in the market.

WOW, you pay for apps? LOLz...

but yeah, lots more apps are compatible for apple os than the droids...


so far


(ps: google SKY..... is still free! and awesome!)

I tried siri todat at the phone place. Quite impressive. I have an odd accent and it undrrstood me most of the time. Why cant the droid app i have do that
? I am temped to buy one. Four g would be nice but it just makes youtube that much more pealing to waste time on.
