I think there are quite a few articles recently portraying a micro$oft smartfone push with a zunelike interface on the horizon ...I think apple has lotsa flare with its latest foray into ifone/ipad etc. but it is not a good idea, imho, to ignore m$ (the sleeping giant) with the longstanding windowsCE/PocketPC/WindowsMobile project ...I just bought my first new fone since 2004 in late 2009 and it was a windowsMobile6.1 motorola which works great and is easy to use and a pleasure to carry as it does everything I want with full featured office apps, carousel interface, speech apps (reads sms out loud, tells alerts like "battery is low", gives gps directions with aplomb, plays music/movies/youtube, is fast and reliable, syncs without any difficulty at all, and runs a multitude of add-on apps for which I have yet to pay 1cent!! ...am I missing something here? I hafta confess I have never held an android fone. I did hold my brother's ifone and, as an inveterate 1 hand user, it seems to be a 2hand device for sure ...my fone can be 1handed for the most part and has a voice input (albeit still somewhat clunky) and a jog ball... are we really expected to believe we will all become "apples" soon?

The question was simple. The answer was simple, and correct. You try to change the question and then attack the answer. It doesn't work that way. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
