Post like these, about Apple's ecosystem, are like a jab in the gut. I know, I know, that I should have not invested time and resources into a closed loop, but it stinks that what I thought was the correct thing to do, is wrong. I have slowly transitioned to using other services. I use Android, and have a Surface RT. I figured that if I own devices from separate ecosystems, it will make me find a better solution for my needs.
For example, using Google + to store all my photos. It keeps them organized and in the cloud. If I so happen to need them, I can download them all or individually. I started using Skydrive for documents, and its been great so far.

Also perhaps surprisingly, a copy of your photo stream lives in a local system folder so you can easily script your own auto workflow for every photo you shoot without an API. http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57555169-285/access-your-photo-stream-without-iphoto-on-os-x/ http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57555169-285/access-your...
- SoftwareMaven 13y agoBecause things are better elsewhere? Photos are in my top three reasons for owning a smartphone, so if you have a solution, my aperture is open wide!
- chokolad 13y agoWell, Windows Phone uploads photos to skydrive and you can sync skydrive onto your desktop/tablet,etc.
- TheAnimus 13y agoIt syncs nicely out of the box, in fact using a WiFi sync'ing SD card, SkyDrive now even supports my Pentax Proprietary RAW format images. Pretty damned cool, take a photo and when camera is next in WiFi, it appears on my phone, tablet, laptop, desktop.....
- swombat 13y agoI fail to see how that's different from iOS uploading photos to the photo stream, which you can sync to iPhoto...
