iPhone gone Android with Samsung Galaxy Note

Yes, you heard it here first. This Apple girl has gone Android! No, I'm not abandoning Apple. I just feel that this particular phone is a better fit for me at this stage of my life.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Samsung Galaxy Note:

This is a huge phone, but its more than just a phone.  Its a tablet hybrid. Its a stunning 5.3" vividly bold screen with stylus (called an S-pen).
Its a camera. Its an e-reader, its thin and light and... well, big. But I love it. I recently gave my iPhone 4s (so long Siri) to my son and sold his iPhone 4 on Craigslist to purchase this. I haven't looked back. I still have my new 3rd gen iPad which is great but being wifi only I'm always searching for a free wifi signal. With my iPhone and my ATT unlimited data plan I had internet access but only on my small screen. Now with my Samsung Note I have the best of both worlds: a single web enabled device with a big screen and phone capabilities for no
additional monthly expense. Who wouldn't love that?

Yes. Its big. Yes, I do put it up to my ear and talk on it like a "normal" phone. No, I don't care who stares...

iPad Phone Calls Made Easy

Got an iPad? Got Internet access (via wifi or 3G)? Great! You've got a phone :) It's easy to make phone calls on your iPad with a little app from Toktumi called Line2. The app adds a 2nd line/number functionality to your iPhone using VoIP. It works equally well in adding a phone line to your iPad. When you sign up for Line2 you choose your state and preferred area code and you're assigned a number. That's it. Now you can make and receive calls using your Internet connection and chat away using the built in speaker and mic on your iPad or through your headset.



So, what happens when your iPad is not online and someone tries to call you? Easy, there's a setting in Line2 for forwarding offline calls. Mine are sent to my cell phone. Nice!

After your free 30 day trial Line2 is $14.99 a month. You'll get lots of useful settings, voicemail, automated attendant, etc. Check it out for 30 days, you've got nothing to lose.
