Well, it doesn't, but I'm still not seeing a whole lot of them. It's the infrastructure as well - the whole Windows Server ecosystem might cost a packet, tie you in to Microsoft, yada yada yada but it's still compelling in terms of functionality and management. > > Really?

Only based on daily usage of an iPad/iPod and Android smartphone. iOS on the iPad is great in some ways but .. mobile Safari seems to crash to desktop regularly when presented with image-heavy pages, you can't jump to the top or bottom of a long page without 20 seconds of flicking, lots of the apps persist with this skeumorphic nonsense where an application that presents things you can read has to look like a wooden bookshelf. The mail application has to have the account I use set up from scratch periodically as it stops retrieving IMAP mail for no reason that I can discern. Android is not without its faults of course but at least I could root the phone and install Cyanogen or a number of other user interfaces. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/1355492183.26512.140661166004921.6110a...@webmail.messagingengine.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
