    Call Feature on Android Mobiles via Cellular like in Apple Watch

    How is that there is no Android mobile with cellular calling feature like Apple Watch's (Cellular version) ?

    Apple Music Creating "(Name)'s Station" on Android/Web/iTunes

    A friend of mine is now using Apple Music via Android and the desktop/Web clients, but no personal station has been created yet.

    Other Why my next phone will be an iPhone after 11 years on Android

    I got my first smart phone my senior year of high school back in 2009. It was some cheapo Virgin Mobile hunk of junk with a slide out keyboard. And I absolutely loved it. I loved the variety of apps. I loved that it was open-source. I loved the interface and customizations. But most of all, I...

    Moved to Android

    After being a huge fan of Apple since 2006 when I bought my first Apple product (a Macbook), I decided to switch.

    This is a poll. If forced, would you pick Apple to abandon computers or mobile devices, under a hypothetical situation?
