As an iOS user, I understand that Android's always been cloud-centric, but I'm curious (and a bit skeptical) if this has really entailed everything that Apple just unveiled:
Does Android automatically sync photos (both with the cloud and the PC)?
Does stock Android do a full backup (including application data) to the cloud? When I synced my iPhone 4 to iTunes for the first time, I instantly got voice notes, text files and PDF's I've had since my first iPhone. I've always wondered if an Android user picking up a new phone could expect the equivalent.
Is the Google Docs experience (ie Google's answer to the "document syncing" problem) better on Android than it is on iOS devices? I've wanted to use Google Docs exclusively for years, but editing is practically unusable on an iPhone. I'm shocked at how slow they've moved to make documents mobile.
- blinkingled 15y agoPhotos : Multiple solutions exist to do n-way photo and video sync although it is highly debatable how useful anything other than Mobile to Cloud and Cloud to Mobile is which Android does out of box. Picasa photos and videos automatically appear in gallery and there is no limit to the number of photos. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html - Backup can include anything including app data and it doesn't have to go to Google's cloud - the backup client component is designed to be customizable to send your backup data wherever you please. Best part of all! Google Docs - Again multiple solutions exist. Documents to Go full edition offers seamless Google Docs support with decent editing functions. There exist Word/Excel add-ins that save to Google Docs from desktop.
