Best Mid Cap Stocks To Buy For 2014

As many of you Foolish readers may know, I'm a devout Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) bull. Over the years, there's only been a single-generation iPhone that I didn't own -- the iPhone 3G released in 2008. I've been fiercely loyal to the platform.

Well, I went and did the unthinkable. I went and finally bought my first Android.

Don't call me a traitor
Let's be clear about something first. I remain a fiercely loyal iPhone user, and the primary reason I bought a device on Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) competing platform is so that I can understand it better. As an analyst who closely follows mobile trends, Android is simply too important not too be well acquainted with. To date, my knowledge of Android has been built on extensively reading and watching tech reviews and other commentary, playing with demo units at retail stores, or playing with a friend's device for a minute or two. It's about time for me to get some firsthand experience.
