Android from a Windows Mobile perspective

I actually think after reading about it Winmo 7 might rejuvenate Microsoft.

I hope so, more competition means better products for us. Android is giving Apple a run, Rim is not in the same league. MS needs to step up.

It felt sluggish, unpolished, and had a lot of issues. It was also too complicated of an OS for a phone.

Yeah, complicated wouldn't be an issue for me, unless it involved a command-line interface. Sluggish and unpolished, though, is a problem. (That and the resistive touch-screens on everything but the HD2.)

Zune Phone, Reality of just MS smoke blowing? They claim is it not coming. The software says otherwise, will this phone put them back in the running? Android has things locked down so far this year.

Thanks for the clarification. The Android interview over on Engadget seemed to side step the issue, but hopefully Google will come out with an answer directly.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with trademark/patent issues. They may be working on legal wrangling right now and can't talk about it yet.

Let's hope they get that done quickly.
