Hello VICUG group,
Terri Arnold's post about the MIT survey prompted my response to that,
and post to you who use Android or iPhone or iPads.

In the cell-phone world I am obsolete, using The Haven FlipPhone,
about 4-years-old. It currently serves my purposes adequately.
Our nearest stores are associated with Verizon. When my wife upgraded
her iPhone several weeks ago, I went with her but could not figure out
how to gesture the iPhone on display to do this, that, or the other
thing...
If I were to upgrade to a mobile device with internet capability,
would an iPad be a better answer, as I understand they come with a
laptop style keyboard? My Haven accepts voice commands but has at
times been rather unreliable in doing so.
How does one know whether to go with Android or Apple?
I seldom text but use the phone more for conventional purposes.
Perhaps reading, online radio, or participating here, Facebook or
LinkedIn on the go would be my reasons for attaining a mobile device.
Thanks in advance for the input offered.
