question for iphone/ipod touch users. Level: Expert ;)

so theres this program that I want called Collect, basically its a program to document daily photos like a photo journal. It can also be used for messing around with photos, specificially I want it for printing scrapbooking journal cards similar to what a polaroid photo looks like. I have yet to find anything comparable for android (and believe me I have looked). My question is, if I go out and buy a used iphone/ipod touch (whichever is cheaper and can run ios7) am I going to be able to import photos taken on an android phone to manipulate them using an apple based program or does android speak some other language when creating photos?

Also, there seems to be an incredible glut of people selling iphones/ipods with cracked screens. WTF? Anyone know the going rate for replacement?

You can put any photos taken from any device on an iphone/ipad. Screens can be replaced, cost varies by device and depends on who does it. There are about a thousand people here in Calgary than can replace screens, for iphones I've heard people paying as little as $50.

I like using dropbox to interchange pictures (I used a windows laptop, android cellphone and ipad...got all the bases covered

); seamless and effortless. I don't know whether apple has overcome their ego of being connected to other platforms using bluetooth but with all the options out there, it doesn't matter anyways.

And replacing screens are fairly cheap too. Kijiiji has lots of adds and typically, stores in NE can do this at a very low price. Or if you are up for some DIY, you can always order yours from ebay; they generally comes with the kit you need to DIY.
