Android is pretty much open space to do with what you want. But, to tell you the truth, it became a chore just managing apps, and app locations, etc.
Plus, there's the whole Google tracks everything you do thing. I've been down just about every tablet/phone road. Touchpad, Android, iOS. It's not something I can put my finger on, just that the Windows 8 interface makes you *want* to use it. It's really hard to describe. Windows 8 UI makes iOS and Android feel old and tired. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.

I don't have a Windows phone to play with, so I can't reference. I am still using an old iPhone 3GS (which does me just fine) and I have an HP Touchpad with Cyanogoenmod 8 on it, so I have experience with iOS 6 and ICS.
