Nope, not at all. I had Pocket Genealogist on my old HTC Fuze which was in need of replacing but since I couldn't get a genealogy program for Windows Mobile 7, I bought an Android phone.....
Same reason I switched from my beloved Palm OS when my M515 conked out on me - the Palm Pre wouldn't run any of the Palm programs I already had and it kinda ticked me off... <g> I really do feel sorry for developers trying to keep up with the OS changes! Gotta have my Legacy database with me!
