Hmm, I did that in 2009 on Android. ;-)
When the market gets crowded then early adopters can make some scratch
on new OS's. There are quite a few apps for the Microsoft phones but
people are leery of an MS product. There's also going to be Firefox
phones too.
A lot of developers don't know Java but know C++ or C#. Microsoft took
a page from their Visual Basic in making .NET which is easy to program.
C# is of course their version of Java (J++) they got sued for so changed
it. I've found it a bit easier to program than using Android. Using
MonoDevelop I can even do Android and iPhone apps in C#.

Yeah, trying to sell smartphones with an OS that no one uses or
creates apps for is a great idea. Just look at how well that's working
for Microsoft. In all likelihood, if Samsung ditches Android, I'll
ditch Samsung.

I used the same email whether I'm logged in to Yahoo groups on Android
or just checking and sometimes replying via the email client. I
should put Thunderbird on my phone though because the default email
client that comes with Android is rather weak and now not giving
notifications on email it checks. I don't have it check my FFL email
though and only request those messages manually.
This Android email client is different from the Gmail client just to
make that clear too.
News this morning is that Samsung may begin shipping phones with their
Linux based Tizen OS instead of Android. Why? We'll they'll have a
good selling point with the security built into Linux. I'm going to
go download that SDK and take a look at it.
Wonder if Willy even has a smartphone. Go figure...
