I didn't even know you could do that on android. its' kinda cool. On the flipside so you don't have to re-search for the pics that you just took, you could touch and hold the pic on the iphone, then double tap the home button and switch to whatsapp then paste the pic you just saved to the clipboard. at least that saves you time from going back to get the pic from the album, right? sounds like that would be something that could get exposed via the sdk like an "open in..." button Another thing which is not consequential to most people is that XDA forums > has a vibrant community and there are a lot of homebrew apps that people > make.

It's amazing!!!!! > my current problem continues to be that because I have both in my pocket at all times, I generally use the iphone about 90% of the time, and about 10% time I use my android, many times discovering new things all the time. also the android is at a disadvantage in my area, the android is vzw and the iphone is at&t and I have excellent at&t coverage here where I get better than 2mb throughput for the iphone, where as I'm lucky to get even 1mb on the android. it's only when they are on wifi that they both show off how fast they can truly be. -Francisco http://bit.ly/sqlthis | Tsql and More...
