Rick, I've backed stuff up from my Android...but it's a Verizon service.
I stand by my assessment of the iPhone, as a device, in isolation. But
if you have a Mac laptop/desktop, use iTunes a lot, have an apple
wireless drive connected to your TV, and whatever other stuff Apple
has, then yes, the iPhone makes a lot of sense. I have a friend who's
interconnected with all his devices (controls his TV with his iPhone,
etc) and doing that with Android probably isn't simple, or maybe even
possible.
As someone who just uses his phone in isolation (more or less), I
prefer an Android, just because I find it more advanced.
And no, I don't shoot Canon. Every man has his limits :-)
