Hey Everyone,
I've been an Apple user now for the last five years or so, I use a Dell workstation running Windows XP 64 bit to run SolidWorks but for all other computing needs I use my Mac and iPhone 4s. Over the past year or so I've had a growing frustration with my Apple experience, I suppose the best way to sum it up is I feel like bull in an ever tightening chute with no way to go but Apples way. Not to mention my ever increasing kernel panics and software crashes. I had been a MobileMe user, it allowed me to upload large modeling and drawing files so my customers could download them but with MobileMe discontinued to make way for iClould that is no longer a possibility, and without upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I can't sync my phone contacts and mail. After yesterdays 3 kernel panics and Fire Fox crashing repeatedly I've decided to part ways with Apple.
By months end I plan on dumping the iPhone and going with the Galaxy s3 or perhaps the Galaxy Note. I'm also planning on getting the Asus TF700 with docking station when the TF700 becomes available. I do have concerns however, I don't need to be able to edit my SolidWorks files with my tablet but it would be nice to view them with SolidWorks eDrawing viewer, the viewer is available for Mac but not Android. I have heard rumors that SolidWorks is working on an eDrawings viewer for Android. If anyone knows of an alternative I'd like to hear about it. But here are my real concerns, over the past 5 years I have quite a collection of photos and music that has been purchased through iTunes, I'd hate to lose either. I'm not sure what to do here, can I move the music files to my dropbox and later sync them to my Android Tablet? Can I do the same with my photographs? Would I need to export each photo from iPhoto to separate them from the iPhoto library? Any help y'all can give I'd appreciate it, thanks.
