|
<p>I've owned about 5 WIndows Mobile devices, 3 Palm Devices, and 1
|
|
iPhone.</p>
|
|
<p>What we all need:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>Simplicity</li>
|
|
<li>Power</li>
|
|
<li>Reliability</li>
|
|
<li>Speed</li>
|
|
<li>Integration</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><strong>Palm OS</strong> (Pre-Pre haha):</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>Simple. Very Simple.</li>
|
|
<li>Does what it needs to do and doesn't falter.</li>
|
|
<li>Not much in terms of applications.</li>
|
|
<li>Most certainly not designed for a mobile professional.</li>
|
|
<li>It's a glorified rolodex.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><strong>Windows Mobile</strong> (5, 6, 6.1):</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>Attempts to satisfy someone who needs to read spreadsheets on
|
|
the go.</li>
|
|
<li>Very slow and unstable. Not good for phone use. At all.</li>
|
|
<li>Integration is sub-par.</li>
|
|
<li>Lots of work-arounds for lots of things, nothing is simple.</li>
|
|
<li>Fonts are ugly.</li>
|
|
<li>Interface is clunky.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><strong>iPhone OS</strong>:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>Smooth, and very nice looking.</li>
|
|
<li>Font rendering is exceptional.</li>
|
|
<li>Web browsing is a dream.</li>
|
|
<li>Did I mention how good it looks?</li>
|
|
<li>Fantastic applications, integration, and standards.</li>
|
|
<li>Apps need approval (good and bad).</li>
|
|
<li>Very fast. Very slick. Problem free.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><strong>Verdict</strong>:</p>
|
|
<p>iPhone OS simply cannot be beat. It's perfect. I haven't used
|
|
Android, but it's more of a platform than an intended
|
|
out-of-the-box Mobile OS. You aren't intended to use the built-in
|
|
Window Manager if you don't want to. Windows Mobile: pay
|
|
attention.</p>
