best smartphone?

  Soon I will have to get a new phone.  I use an Ion console, and I'm wondering if in peoples' experience, there is a smartphone that is better as far as potential control of the console, as well as apps, etc.  I'm just starting to look into it, and any advice and guidance is greatly appreciated.  Cheers!

  • I have been using iPhone 2 & 4 & iPod Touch & iPad 1 on my Ion system, and I am very pleased. I use them when running around, the stages, but since I'm only using <$100 netgear wap's they do drop out, or have trouble getting the signal at times. I have the ETC RFR as well, and will use RFR on set during takes. I feel the ETC RFR is far more stable a remote for on camera shots. I am very happy to have both systems running, as it saves my RFR batteries for when it really needs to work. I've plugged RFR into an outlet when sitting on set, just to make sure I have juice when it is needed.
