Attorneys often find themselves in separate camps, such as plaintiff/defendant, civil/criminal, prosecution/device, and, perhaps most contentiously, Android/iOS smartphone. While Apple Inc.’s and Google Inc.’s smartphones keep attorneys connected, each takes a sometimes idiosyncratic approach to features and capabilities, building strong user loyalties.
Both phones have changed over the past year, prompting some to switch camps to take advantage of improvements, such as a larger display or stronger security app. But never change phones on a whim, because it requires learning how to use a new device and building a fresh app collection. What choice is better for lawyers? Let’s examine the evidence.
