We've all heard the adage, "once you go Mac, you never go back."

I haven't gone with a Mac as of yet; my Dell works well. (I will say it is not the crap a past poster called it.). However, I got an iPad for Christmas, then got my very first smart phone when my little dumb-y phone of 4+ years started to wear out. I chose the iPhone since it was basically a small iPad that makes phone calls. I will say that I love both products.
They share an Apple account, so I can keep the same apps on both if it works for me.

My iPad has become an appendage. I keep my calendar on it, keep track of family and friends, and I use it in my classroom almost daily to either teach or to remediate students. I take notes on it during discipleship, and use the Bible app on it in church. I have a folder of apps on it that are reserved for my toddler.

I've also liked the iPhone much more than I ever imagined. It takes great pictures, texting is easy, and in general the phone is easy to use.

I use both to check email, although the phone is better when I'm away since my iPad is wifi only.

My mother had one of the older Samsung Galaxies. Perhaps she just got a lemon, but she had a lot of trouble with that phone. She recently got the iPhone and loves it.
