Using android on a samsung galaxy s2, once a photo is taken I get the option to upload it to Picasa, where I host all my images used here & elsewhere

I have had both the galaxy 2 and the I phone 4 both are great phones but the galaxy just felt a bit flimsy and easily broken which in tams environment might be a key factor.i have dropped my I phone several times and been scared to look when I pick it up off the workshop floor but its been fine everytime

I was skeptical at first about how thin the Galaxy is but it's survived 2 years in the workshop environment , totally submerged in the bath for 10 seconds!! Dismantled it immediately to dry it out. (an iphone would be scrap as they don't come apart that easily )

In seconds you can put a charged spare battery or larger capacity SD card in a Galaxy ( not practical to do with iphone )

Whatever you choose..........enjoy

Heh you can't do that it will be better than mine !!!
Stick with it though and get a silicone or leather flip case for the workshop environment.

cos its a great bit of kit for cheap price, and bang upto date. ordered now anyway. apparently I'll have it in 4 weeks and tbh I'm in no rush for it. also gives me a few weeks to find some spare coin as they dont charge for it untill ready to ship out :xmas-smiley-029:
