So much that I am really tired of the &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OmQclpZVhoU\">parents waiting in line for the iPhone<\/a>&#8221; ad. I have seem each at least 50 times and it gets wearing.<\/p>\n<p>But, maybe it is fatigue or maybe it is my disappointment in Apple, but I am actually considering a Samsung for my next smart-phone.<\/p>\n<p>I have been an Apple phone user for three generations of smart-phones and as long as smart phones have been around. I love having access to all that data and rely on my phone for dozens of things. I need it and can never turn back to the days of my phone for &#8220;making calls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why am I thinking of the Samsung?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I trust the brand. A few years ago I switched my TVs to Samsung from Sony. The quality is strong.<\/li>\n<li>Bigger screen.<\/li>\n<li>Assume it is more reliable for making calls and getting data than my iPhone. There are spots in NYC that the service is horrible.<\/li>\n<li>Still mad at Apple for the Maps mishap and taking away the YouTube App. I don&#8217;t want to get caught in the battle between Google and Apple. Seems like the consumer loses during these battles.<\/li>\n<li>Break away from Apple&#8217;s stranglehold on my tech tools. I have an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But I do like the ease of linking my iPad, Air and iPhone. I am very satisfied with Apple&#8217;s laptops and doubt I will ever change. The product is too damn good. But the phone is much weaker.<\/p>\n<p>What to do? My upgrade is set for January. So I have a few months to ponder.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung appears to have bought every commercial on the MLB playoffs.
