Dan it is easy to understand really. I watch how android users here at work use their phones. I ask them questions like what is your favorite app on your phone and do you go to websites on your phone? Number one app was TXTing app Surf the web no just use Facebook. The one app that most use is a free streaming music app. Like Pandora or iHeartradio to listen to music. I had a Samsung user of their new Flag ship phone not even know how to use their Note Pad app. I had to show them how to use it. An it took a few minutes to figure out. :) — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone
