Iphone or Android?

Sort:

I have the Ipad, and downloaded many chess apps (Stockfish, Shredder, PGN readers, chess ebook readers, tactics trainers and so on), and on the Ipad the graphic is great.

Now I wanted to change the phone, and I saw that the Iphone screen is quite small, compared to Android's phones. So I wanted to buy an android, but I don't know if there are the same number of apps both for tactic training than as chess database programs.

Does anyone have the Android and can tell me if there are the same apps that can be found on the iphone?

Thanks

"I can’t find one person who has been using the Nexus 7 for an extended period of time, and hasn’t seen a massive downgrade in performance. Just what kind of downgrade are we talking here? I cannot pick up my Nexus 7 without experiencing problems like a lag of ten seconds, or more, just to rotate the display; touches refusing to acknowledged; stuttering notification panel actions; and unresponsive apps.

I tried the basics at first, like a factory reset. I then moved onto drastic measures, like rooting and installing CyanogenMod 10.1 (which I thought would surely fix everything, since I’ve used faster devices with lesser hardware, and performance problems were merely a lack of software optimization). And nothing seems to work."
