[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5991614, member: 8835"] wow, that's really cheap and hard to believe, but MS is probably the company to pull off eating the loss. Not to fuel the Android vs. iOS argument, but I saw an interesting viewpoint a few months back at by a presenter. He was just raving about switching to a new WinMo phone. Don't know what model, but he was talking about the OS features. How seemless it integrated with his music library, and the dashboard made more sense. While MS seems to be a bit player in the smart phone business, they are more likely to put out an OS with a solid look and feel to compete with Apple than Android. Android scored some high marks on UI improvements in Jelly Bean, but it still reviews as a total experience designed by a bunch of schizophrenic bi-polar bears flipping bits at the Waffle House. It's inconsistent, has no UI design bible that anybody has to follow. Has more settings and adjustments to make than should be necessary. as one reviewer put it, the fix for bad software should not be to add more software. While it's great that you can install a third party app to "fix" a shortcoming, the OS itself probably shouldn't have had that shortcoming. I've drifted off topic. Sorry. Android could do well. It sells great. But I feel it really needs enforcement of standards to make it as smooth as the other OSes. Otherwise, MS will sneak up behind and take its lunch money, because MS is pretty good at maintaining standards on their platforms. In other news, has Mallus acctually made his purchase yet? [/QUOTE]
