[citation][nom]getreal[/nom]Too little, too late. Android for phones is really irrelevant now that the iPhone is available for the two largest carriers in the US. As for tablets, Android is a complete joke and utter failure. Hopefully the WebOS tablets or the RIM Playbook offers some competition to Apple, because Android tablets are an even bigger waste of money than the phones, and that's saying a LOT![/citation]
I've used both Android tablets and the Ipad, and the two aren't really that different.
In terms of Android vs. iPhone, some people enjoy being able to download whatever application anyone makes, and some people enjoy having phones with physical keyboards or with no keyboard or with whatever any hardware manufacturer comes up with, isntead of the one-size-fits-all deal from Apple. Sure, having multiple versions and multiple hardware designs is complex, but that doesn't make it bad. Look at Microsoft. Sure, their software isn't always the best, but it can do pretty much anything, and tons of people buy it.
I wouldn't have a job if I'd gone Mac when I was little and experimenting with computers. Turns out Windows and Linux make a nice combination for CAD and CFD. Not everyone's an engineer, though.
This coming from a Windows Mobile 6.5 user. Windows mobile is slow, but it's pretty robust, and it can get a lot of work done. Plus, I just like the Touch Pro 2. I suppose I'll have to jump ship now that Microsoft has turned Windows Mobile in to some kind of social networking thing - I need my phone to do real, live, work.
