Hello everyone. I'll try to make this short.
I'm a previous Android user who bought an iPhone and MacBook, but despised not having the customization options i'm used to with Windows and Android (even after jailbreaking) and want to go back Android without sacrificing much of my workflow.
Generally, i believe Apple's position in modern technology is one of creating a dependent culture by ways of consumerism and clever marketing, but im not here to bash . . . they're great devices. Just not for me anymore.
Going through multiple iDevices, my last straw was when normally removable internal computer components were soldered to the motherboard in the new retina MacBook Pros--so i sold my MacBook Pro (originally because i had water damage which affirmed my decision even more) and got a laptop PC with Windows OS.
Oh, how i missed having decent specs and high resolution screen at an affordable price.
. . .
My current set-up is a non smart-phone, iPod Touch 5th Gen 64gb and said Windows laptop. I carry both the phone and ipod with me daily.
I use the iPod as a media tablet of sorts with heavy use of all features. I'm a freelance photographer and use a variety of apps, most of the 64gb device storage,listen to music, imessage, check email, ipod camera, social media etc excessively. It's really useful. My phone just handle my calls and texts.
I'd like to, if possible, keep this set up without sacrificing much.
. . .
Are there non-phone devices with Android OS (or maybe Windows 8 ) that would fit this set-up? An iPod Touch equivalent?
I've been researching tablets and was amazed by how many there are outside of iPads. However, they're generally over 8" and can't fit in my pocket. (if that's my only option then i'll consider it)
Preferably with microSD storage, but i wouldnt mind internal.
Thank you.
I look forward to owning my devices once again.
