Because of this, LiMo has been left in the dust, which is quite undeserved.
Well, I only compared the devices, I didn't say slimmer is better. As I said in another thread, the slimness comes at a cost of 5 mm taller frontal area (width is the same), and I prefer a thicker device if that leads to a smaller front. As for features such as FM xmit, we should find out 10/28.

I do think these two go head-to-head. The Dalvik/Java isn't necessarily an inefficiency, if it (as it probably does) implements pass-throughs to the device drivers.

As for LiMo, Moto 's gone Android, and essentially abandoned it, and the remaining manufacturers in the LiMo foundation don't seem interested in smartphones, not for the global market, at any rate.
