Lines Of Demarcation
Jan. 12th, 2013 12:26 pmMy divisions of labor vis-a-vis my smartphone and my desktop PC are coalescing.
SMARTPHONE duties:
*) Facebook. Even though actual posting is easier on the PC (as well as access to archives), it's easier to check the ongoing activity with the smartphone...even if the Facebook app is lacking (it works better to use Chrome).
*) YouTube. Granted, the hair trigger on the phone itself makes it tough to navigate, and for some reason the app lacks features you need (it works better to use Chrome), but I seem to save a lot of data use by playing videos over the Smartphone. It won't play everything, tho'.
*) Dropbox. I'm still learning it, and it needs a Wi-Fi source for it to be efficient, but it streamlines use of the phone's camera, and I may play around with video shooting thanks to Dropbox.
PC duties:
*) E-Mail. The smartphone app is wonky; using Chrome on the smartphone at Hotmail is tedious and needlessly limited in functionality.
*) LiveJournal. I can read my Friends' page on the mobile version, but that's about it.
*) PCH.com and all Flash-based content providers. No Flash support on Android phones whatsoever.
More to come.
