Harry,


The answer to your question of which platform is better--Android or 
iPhone--depends on the user. People who learned iPhone first say iOS all 
the way. People who learned Android first say Android is perfectly fine. 
I hear this every time someone poses this question on the Eyes-Free 
Android list. the reasons mostly reflect the respondents' tastes. If 
your friend is a student or professional, who uses lots of advanced text 
editing features, then iOS has a little bit of an edge. If he isn't, 
either platform works.


I'm an android user, and I've been an Android user since the platform 
became accessible.

I like it, and it meets my needs. I know how to use iOS, but I find it 
cumbersome, too many gestures to learn and too many steps for every 
picking thing. So I would say that, if the Android is working for your 
friend, he should keep working with it. If, however, he made frequent 
use of the touch pad on his Mac and misses it, then iPhone may be the 
better route.

Not sure how helpful this was.

Ciao
