Blog#2 What you can do with Android device.

Shuhei Wada

Do you have an iPhone or a Android device?
I have used both of them. Now, I am a user of Android.

Today, I will introduce what you can do with the Android device.
What you can do by using android is very similar to iPhone but if you like to customize something I recommend you to have Android.

First of all, for android devices, spec of the device will be very important.
My recommendation is GalaxyS2 from Samsung.
GaraxyS2 has dual core CPU so that the speed of the phone is very fast and you can use it without any stress.

Lets move to what you can do with the Android.
First, you can customize the desktop.



This is my phone's desktop.
This is the biggest difference between iPhone and Android.
You can put anything you like on desktop.
Time table, schedule, custom clock, weather, shortcut to any application, application launcher....











You can browser the files in the device.
Android is more like a computer than iPhone.
You can create folders in SD card and browser it with file viewer.
This means you can also browser system folder and able to change it a bit.

As you can see, the font of my phone is a bit different from other phones.
I replaced the font data with another one.









Great applications for Android

This application is called Viber and this is my most favorite application.
You can download it via Android market or iPhone application store.

Free application!

The picture is chat function of the viber.
To use viber, you need only your phone numbers.
If a person who you want to talk have viber, you can talk and chat with him/her without any fee.







This application is "Ato nanhun?" あと何分?
This application notify you how long you should wait for next train.

As you see the picture, this application tells you how long you have to wait for next train by seconds.

It is also a Free Application.








This is Infrared data transfer.

Many people who do not change to Smart phone is because the infrared function is not supported with smart phones but now, many of Japan made smart phones are supported with infrared data transfer system. You can exchange phone book data by ussing infrared data transfer.
 










Finally, I recommend you to use Android if you like to use computer or you like to customize everything. 
There are many applications that are free on Android and not free on iPhone!!

However, the system of Android device is a lot more complicated than iPhone.
If you are not good at these electric devices, I recommend you to buy iPhone.
 iPhone is very simple and sophisticated.  Everyone can use it easily. Even my mother can use it.

  1. Hello, Shuhei.
    This is Asumi.
    I'm using an iPhone, and it's been about two months since I start using it. So every thing is still quite new to me, and, to tell the truth, I never even had a cellphone before! I'm not good at computers so I'm sure you can tell that I need lots of help to use iPhone. You said everyone can use it easily, but I guess you forgot me!!
    Well, but so far I enjoy using my iPhone.
    You seem to be really good at these stuff, so please let me ask for help when I have some trouble!

  2. Shuhei,
    What a great blog - 5 gold stars!
    I had no idea about the differences between android and iPhone, but thanks to your blog, I got to know lots of differences. As you know, I am an iPhone user because, like your Mom, I cannot cope with complicated things :-)
    But I see a lot of advantages of android for some people, but these extra things you can do are things I don't really need or care about so I will stick with my iPhone.
    My husband just told me that android is susceptible to viruses, so beware. Of course, there is no danger for iPhone as it is a Mac product.
    I guess that might be one big difference in favour of iPhone.
    By the way, is Galaxy2S faster than iPhone 4?
    And is Viber pretty much like Skype? I would like to know about that since it would be easy for me to add this app to my computer and iPhone.
    Please show me your smartphone sometime.
    Ms. MacGregor

  3. Helly Shuhei!
    You may be better at presenting the differences between these phones than shop staffs. Thank you for showing us some free convenient apprications. I want to use Android but one of my friend saids that the battery is really weak and it is unconvenient for the users. How about this? Is it true?
