Well finally surrendered and got an android smart phone

no, could not afford the I-Phone.

Now here is what struck me. I know why Apple is suing. I have no idea about the internals, as in the actual code... but the user experience of this android phone, is not that off from the IOS devices.

Yup, they work in very similar ways, at least from the user side of things.

That also pretty much means that going from one to the other is pretty painless.

No, I was not going to spend a mint. I need a data plan for all the messages (work, we get alerts from IPN, a service that if you are into scanner traffic has it's good things and it's bad things)... and a phone that can do some messaging and very basic online work, like twitter for the returns, or if in the field, and I need to put on an alert for the paper.

But yup, I am able to work on my scriv files... now if Simplenote just added fracking folders... seriously it would be good. Here I am trying to see which Office suite will work with dropbox, because I have come to really hate simplenote for being unwieldly to no end... and evernote (Yup I like it in principle) does not really play well with scriv.
