Tired.

As for me, I have several reasons I wish to stick with an original Mac Mini, no matter how lowly the spec is. Firstly, as I am an iDevice owner (blame Spot), I need the Mac for syncing. For some reason syncing on a Windows machine takes forever compared to syncing on a Mac. Secondly, I still plan to develop for iOS. My computer auditing app should be ready any day now. And I may want to resurrect my pony catalog app in the distant future.

If syncing is still slow, then Apple is to blame for intentionally slowing it down for Windows users.Tried. Not only does it takes forever, it adds a ton of autostart entries that degraded the performance of Sally. Apparently it has something to do with how Windows handles USB ports that causes the slowdowns.
cpd2009 Wrote:That is why I go for Android. I know that Android is of no use to you since some of your favorite apps don't have an Android version at all. I just don't like the idea of being required to use iTunes to sync video, pictures, and music.No Spot for Android. And as Blake pointed out, no AG for Android either.
I know there are third party utilities that you can use instead of iTunes, but still, ADD AN SD CARD SLOT, APPLE!
cpd2009 Wrote:With Hazel, you can basically throw all your photos and videos on a MicroSD card that the size will allow and you are good to go. No syncing necessary. Well...Again, it's not about syncing my music (I've pretty much given up of using Eve for music and moved my music to my cellphone (Tessa), with a backup copy on my 3DS (Isabelle II), after finding that I can't cram my entire music library into it, even after wiping off half of my apps. OTOH I never really used her fully for music anyway).
cpd2009 Wrote:Hazel, being a Samsung tablet, has an optional "Kies" utility, where you can sync stuff to your tablet, but I choose the easier SD card option obviously.Again, it's not about media. It's about the apps I need. Also, I've used Android before. You can't install apps onto the SD Card if the developer of the app don't want you to. Even when rooting the device, doing so destabilizes the device. Again, my problem is not about media. It's about the apps I need. Some Android devices have ridiculously small amount of memory (I'm looking at you, HTC!).

Also, as mentioned, I need a Mac Mini to do dev work. Apple's policy is that you can only develop for iOS on a Mac.
