car news apps iphone image
I just watched a news segment were a car was stolen,his phone was left on in the car and the owner somehow was able to find it by pinging from a computer. Can this be done?
Answer
If you know it's public IP address (which changes at random) then yes you can ping it. However pinging it will not really help you locate it. If authorities are sufficiently motivated they can track the phone using it's phone number, however they usually don't do this in the case of simple theft, only when life is at stake.
Utilities such as "find my iPhone" in the case of an iPhone will most certainly help you locate it. I retrieved a lost iPad using this app. If you update to IOS 5 and iCloud (free) then find my iPhone comes with it.
If you are using another type of smart phone you will need to check what apps or systems are available for your device.

Answer
I would steer you away from the iphones 4s because it has battery drainage problems:

Even Steve Wozniak, co-founder of apple says the same thing and that siri is glitchy:

And this is an Apple Legend saying this so you know it has to be bad.
Furthermore, with iphone you do not get Adobe Flash which is required to properly view videos on many websites, it is a huge complaint among iphone owners. Plus you cannot expand memory with iphone if you run out of space but with android you just add a card up to 32gb and you're good to go.
You get more free apps with android, for example angry birds is free with android whereas you have to buy it with apple, or use their "free" version which has a big ad blocking part of the screen getting in the way of gameplay.
Android phones are usually superior in technical specs, faster and more customizable. It is the better choice, that is why it leads the global market in smartphones today despite apple selling their iphones cheap or free.
And despite the Woz saying iphones are easier to use, ANYONE can use android, he had to say SOMETHING nice about apple lol.
