My wife is a staunch Apple fan while I prefer PC/Android. Consequently we have many good-natured banters about who's device is better.
This past summer we planned a trip to the southwest through Vegas and the Four Corners area, where we knew we would encounter RV parks without wireless, or with wireless so poor that it is not effective. My sweetie checked with our phone carrier about the possibility of tethering her iPad to her iPhone. "
Sure" they said... "
You'll need to pay a monthly fee and give up your unlimited data account". Naturally she was not interested, and quite annoyed, so we went on the trip with her being a bit disgruntled from the start. Secretly I'd downloaded a free Android app that allowed me to tether any wireless divce to my Android phone.
While we were in an RV campground that did not offer wireless, I thought [...perfect... now's the time to break out my tab...]
Took her a few minutes, but she eventually asked "
Whatcha doin'?"
"
Oh... just surfin'" I replied in a nonchalant tone without looking up
"
How you doin' that!!!" she exclaimed
The main good thing that came out of the entire exchange was that I was still able to stay in the RV that night, but I suspect that it was because I allowed her iPad to tether to my Android phone. Secondary gain was that she now admits that there are significant advantages to my Android devices, especially as she is enjoying 4G internet access through my phone as we are traveling down the road. Tertiary gain might be rubbing it in a bit that her Apple device needs my Android to connect to the internet, but I don't have the nerve to try that one.
