Well, I'm a traitor. I just abandoned my beloved android and replaced my HTC Evo with no battery life for an iphone 4S. Hate to say it, but so far I love it (except for it's proprietary nature and no flash!). I charged it fully overnight and have given it a pretty good workout today, and I still have 86% on the battery!
So... I have glucose buddy, Yelp, Words with Friends. What else do you ios veterans recommend? Any tips?
Thanks :)

What I do miss on my Android is the Wavesense glucose logging app I had on my iPhone. They haven't ported it to Android and I haven't found anything comparable. Iirc, it cost $5 but, for me, was worth every penny.

Permalink Reply by Jennifer on June 11, 2012 at 8:40am I can't ditch my Android because of the no Flash - I use it to surf the web almost exclusively at home and rarely get out the old laptop anymore. I have the Thunderbolt HTC with an extended battery and get the whole day out of it including all day surfing with it. It is also 4G on Verizon and from what I understand, iPhone doesn't have that yet.

I have 4G on my phone, and from what I understand, so do most 4's and 4S's.
