Navigation and voice recognition and notification and widgets are superior on Android. However, they are from Google – this discussion is more about third-party apps. And I don't know of any real-world use of the Android NFC so far. In fact, the most interesting mobile payment system that recently launched was Starbucks, using iPhone and Blackberry apps (see my posting: http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse/browse_thread/thread/aad26228508b7e2e). I predict that the next iPhone / iPod Touch will have an NFC-based, iTunes-backed mobile payment system, and Starbucks will be a launch partner. I was a bit of a shame that Google put NFC into the Galaxy has but didn't do anything with it, yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
