Lawyer Specific Apps For Android? Who Needs 'Em?

The Droid Lawyer%u2122 | What About the Lawyer Apps for Android?. This is a good post debunking the myth that lawyers should choose iPad or iPhone because of the developer community support for legal specific applications. My Android phone isn't intended to be a replacement for my Windows 7 notebook computer. I produce this blog on an ultralight notebook that serves as my main law practice computer. I produce legal documents, track case progress, view court dockets, and all sorts of legal specific tasks with legal specific software that gets the job done. It weighs under 5 pounds, and I carry it to court when I need to show documents or photos to a fact finder, be it Judge or Jury. I use it to show PowerPoint slides in presentations, and it functions better than any tablet or phone. My phone and tablets are "extensions" of my law practice, not "replacements". I use my phone and tablets to send and receive emails, texts, and to eat content on social media. I read daily newspapers, and other magazines and publications on them. The choice of Android or Apple products is as much a matter of taste as it is a matter of features. Lawyers who buy Apple just to go along with the crowd are ceding their own personal judgment to others. Be an independent thinker. Look at the features and uses of both platforms before making a choice.
