I have the iPhone 4 and the Nexus One, both comparatively recent acquisitions. I like them both OK, and have gradually added apps which are really necessary to be able to share between my various Mac and other systems, e.g. Dropbox, Evernote, RTM, to name a few. I am a Google user, so most of my notes exist 'in the cloud'. I do backup things frequently tho' not in a scheduled way.
I have been checking on to the Nexus often to see if the promised Gingerbread update has arrived or not, so far 'not'! :(
I find myself using the iPhone 4 more often; there is something lighter and more attractive in some way, tho' I have apps which will do 90+ % of the same things on the Nexus.
But, more often recently I have been asking myself why I and others more than me are so keyed up by the latest and greatest new phones, when we use them so little in fact.
Is this another (tho' milder) form of the Gentoo obsession, when I spent a year or more waiting for new kernel versions to be incorporated onto my systems, spending days upgrading various components just to be 'on the (leading) edge'. If so, perhaps its time to take stock and get a life.
The lucky thing is that I am not hooked, like so many younger people, by Facebook, and/or Games!
Twitter is something I follow a limited number of people, and I only tweet occasionally. Buzz I belong to, but there are even fewer followers in either direction.
So, its time for another mindmap exercise to decide the future of my mobile interest, investments, etc.
