        <description><![CDATA[Your points are well taken. If MS doesn't start innovating again (I suppose some say they never have), they will lose in the PDA competition. What we really need, and the hardware is becoming viable, is a PC that I can wear on my belt, and dock at home or at work to use a keyboard, mouse, and large monitor when I'm not in portable mode. When I'm in portable mode, not only is it my phone, but my PC as well. Miniaturization of the computing platforms is inevitable. The question is, who will innovate and capitalize on this market with huge potential. Microsoft could be the perfect company to develop and deploy into this relatively new market I've dreamed up (and if I've dreamed it up, I know brighter minds must be working on it somewhere). Whether they will is another question.]]></description>

Their soon to be flagship product is the Tablet I understand, and ISTR there were wireless difficulties with that. Hmm. Mind you, I've recommended it to my mum as the designer alternative to Kindle et al.. There was a slight danger of me buying an Apple Airport Express recently, but I lost my nerve, given Apple's current travails, and I went for something from an IBM/PC oriented networking/Wi-Fi company.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&quot;it does not do well in areas where there are large concentrations of iPhone users, especially San Francisco and New York City. Whether it?s the iPhone itself or AT&amp;T or both, the iPhone also tends to drop more phone calls than other phones&quot;I've not experienced either of these problems and I've had my phone all over the US. The one notable spot tends to affect *all* phones; the southwest. All of the mountains and such will quickly take you out of sight of a tower and you will lose signal... and it doesn't matter what phone or service you use, that's just the way it is. I've had my iPhone in NY and Chicago and never lost service once, never lost a call at all.I'll keep my 3GS for now....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[because of the bigger form factor, iPad battery life will always be at least 3 times longer than smartphones, including the iPhone. Apple can and probably will put SoC that are much more powerful than smartphone SoC. The iPad uses a carrier neutral sim slot allowing iPad to use any data and service provider, including individual company private sim such as Homeland Security or FBI police or military band radio frequencies. iPad can be equipped with kernel level firmware to perform enterprise synchronization and real time connectivity. iPad has no external antenna.To Apple, iPad is the long term strategic product, not iPhone nor Mac. With custom development, squadrons of iPads can be deployed in highly strategic projects for accomplishing national security missions such as toppling UN sanctioned terrorist regimes or units bent on destroying terrorism acts, or in war field operations. Because of the highly hybrid capability of centralized and localized processing, and Apple's capability to equip an iPad with any SoC or CPU for complete hardware and software control, the iPad is bringing back the age of Hardware specific computing, which include complete control over anything, including nuclear weapons.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Over a period of 15+ years I've had 4 phones.Had a company mandated Nextel &quot;click to talk&quot; first.Got a Nokia on the Voicestream network after that, worked well, it was a phone and it did it well.  VS got purchaced by T-Mobile, and I ended up getting a HTC/T-Mobile DASH.  A Windows Mobile device that did most of what I required of it for over 5 years both in the USA and Overseas.I've recently moved to the Sprint network (primarily because of area coverage).  My device is a HTC Touch Pro2, a touchscreen capable smartphone with a full length slide out keyboard.Even though I don't think that Microsoft is investing in mobile technology at the same rate as Google or Apple, they have not stopped their investment.  Even though the HTC TP2 is a reletively new offering, at least to my ancient eyes, I was able to upgrade from WM6.1 to WM6.5 with reletive ease.I like my phone.  It integrates into my business needs, and give some flexibility in what I run, and when I want it to run.I have expandability and direct integration into the platforms I use.  The 3G works well (unless I'm indoors), and 4G is not scheduled to be available in my area for some time.I looked at the EVO...hard, but there is no HW keyboard, and taking up the limitted screen real estate with a virtual keyboard just doesn't meet my needs, the same argument along with others mentioned above about the iPhone.Apple is more about form over function.  They have been great about the commoditization of technology and providing the reliability (supposedly) of a toaster, but if I really wanted that, I'd have stayed with a landline....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One significant difference between iOS upgrades and AndroidOS upgrades is the hardware.Phones without custom front ends (ex: NexusOne) will be able to adopt a longer upgrade cycle than say an HTC or Motorola.Next add to this the significant hardware advancements that dot the Android landscape.  These phones are evolving at a far faster pace than the iPhone.At the current level of development, what the iPhone accomplished (4 iterations), the Android devices will accomplish a lot more, likely 10+ iterations making for a much more evolved device - significantly more functionality.Add to this we are now seeing development of Android devices with 2ghz processors.  It will continue to explode.I highly suspect that one of the goals of these companies is to far outstrip the hardware development of the iPhone 4, already accomplished excluding the display) pushing Apple to either fade or come out with a really wow device.Either way, Apple really has their work cut out for them.]]></description>

Note: it does have a great interface and is a joy to use but I am tired of having to jailbreak to get functions I need or develop work-arounds.Looking at the Android options and they are looking really good.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I recently traded my Bold for a Storm2 to gain firsthand experience and potentially add an iPhone alternative to our users.  We don't allow iPhones simply for ease of support.  I'm sure people will argue this but the fact is I can't spare the staff to learn about a new option much less support it.  BES runs all the time; period.  The Storm2 is fantastic.  Despite what evilkill whatever the name says I have had no problem managing hundreds of emails while managing my schedule, contacts and tasks.  All things my company, that pays for my phone, needs me to do.  Oh, and by the way in my free time I enjoy listening to MP3's, streaming Pandora, playing games, viewing maps and taking pictures.   My wife has an iPhone and I do not care for it.  But then again, it's good for her because she needs to be controlled and Apple is good at that.]]></description>
