    Android is the BEST!

    I used windows for a really long time. I don't like too much social contact and it helps because those apps aren't there. Just the necessary. But, I like Android for all the apps that help you learn new things.

     

    I can't choose. As you said pros and cons.

    I hate my apple device for EE. I cant use it with my arduino for a custom feel. You have to have an Apple App Developer to make your own app and that costs 100$. Wish I had an Android for This kind of thing.

    Hah ... yeah, I used Palm as well, and at least the monochrome ones were pretty awesome in terms of battery life. But then again, so were 2kB/64kB "digital diary" or "organizers". More SRAM fun ... with a particular battery change time window else you risk losing it all.

     

    The colour LCD screens and 2-3h usage times, as well as twice-daily charge requirements of the WM PDA brethren weren't particularly convenient in comparison. But in exchange, you got your colour screen and many more apps to play with. The last one I owned was an iPaq hx4700 Intel PXA270 624Mhz CPU, 64Mb RAM, 640x480 screen, with Wi-Fi (802.11b), Bluetooth (1.2), Infrared, Trackpad, CF and SD slots. It was pretty fast and usable even with GPS navigation apps like iGO8 using BT GPS units. Of course, I didn't buy it "new" - the price on those was ridiculous!


    When WM5, 6 got around with the concept of the "Store" which got closed down, I really didn't like them ... suppose change is always hard to take.

     

    Nowadays, I still dabble with each and every OS. I even have a Blackberry Playbook (QNX-based), which I'm not that fond of, but does have some interesting features.

    Saying anything positive about windows mobile is a surefire sign of either

    A: Nostalgia

    B: Being a Microsoft employee

     

    Still, I suppose it was OK for its time.
