Jimmy - glad to hear that report :)

John - the S3 is sweet - glad you like

Li - hope you get to try it out

Gary - that reminds me, if you set up a flipboard userid and sign in with the app, your setup and feeds will automatically sync to all your devices. That is a nice feature

Kathy - thanks for the mention of Zite, I'll check it out also

Debbie - it is a great app and very worth your time to check it out :)

Hi Craig, When I am asked about the difference between my iPhone and any other phone, I give an answer that is not technology based. To answer, I ask this simple question. When you have a problem with your Android phone, where is the Android store to repair the problem or replace the phone?  Usually that is sufficient to make the case for the iPhone :-)

Craig, I belong to minority - like you (no, not that Blackberry minority, I am talking about Android.)

It was already installed on my Galaxy Note II - and never used it. Now is the time to go and check this app.

(And I wonder what Steve Jobs did to Realtor(r) community...)

I selected Apple products for my first go round with an iPad; however, being stuck with iTunes was a pain so I quickly went to Android * EVO phone and Galaxy Tab...I wish they made a coffee maker!

Moving from Galaxy II to Galaxy Note II, so I'm an Android guy. I have a tablet too but with the Note II, I won't need it because with the Note II, I'll have all the functions I need in one compact device.

I was addicted to Flipboard when I first downloaded it on my iPad.  Been too busy to visit lately.  Although I have the largest Android phone out there, the Samsung Note, I'd rather browse Flipboard on my iPad.  In fact, my Note still isn't big enough for me.

William - there are different types of issues - hardware support and app support. Case in point with android, I had a defective battery and verizon shipped me a replacment one. Solved the problem. As far as app support, true there is no "android genius bar" but people should not be intimidated. Hand your phone to any 'gen-y' or younger and say "show me how to..." - my 4.5 year old teaches me how to do stuff sometimes! LOL - shh.. don't tell my secret :)

Melissa - I'll have to take a look...

Richard - that's a 2nd recommendation on this thread, I'm going to look more into it as another source

Joni - if you sign in to flipboard, your settings (feeds) automatically apply to all of your devices which helps the setup time

Christine - I have a daily commute and so it is a daily read for me to help keep me up to date on things

Hammersteins - smartphone envy will get you to switch hopefully soon!

Jay - glad you got the dial feature worked out ;) now hopefully I can get you to use that inspector spirit to go inspect more of what your phone can do... have fun! You'll get it.

Wallace - agree on the iTunes - that app is on my blacklist for annoyances also - android coffee, watch for it!

Janice - I'm so glad you are on my android team :)

Dagny - glad to make a referral for the app! enjoy

Dear Craig,

So far, I have never had time to follow news on my phone. Always rushing some place or working on a project. Got the news & financial news on in the morning, so I can see, what is going on. During the day, the car radio needs to tell me any other breaking news as I get in and out.

Chalk one more up on your iPhone tally. I was the biggest holdout with the Blackberry because of the keyboard. I love my iPhone though, even though I hate typing on it.
