The android fanbois will be dazzled by the same stuff the iPhone folks are impressed by. Show them active widgets running on the multiple desktops. (Facebook widget is good, as are scrolling slideshow pictures of the kids and the live map.) Open a few web pages simultaneously, then open a youtube video. Then show them the task switcher with the live video running in it. Take a picture and demonstrate the built-in sharing to facebook or evernote or twitter. If they are geeks, also demonstrate how you can SSH into the phone. Or connect to the corporate VPN (which takes 5 minutes to install and configure) and then run an RDP session with a windows computer in a full screen. Demonstrate the mirror app to show that it has a front-facing camera. Browse to google docs and create a word processing document and spreadsheet (and flip to another web page to look something up while you are writing it).

You own a really cool phone which does lots of cool stuff. Useful stuff. Not just Hello Kitty apps.

Sorry to rant here, but I am just annoyed with this kind of stuff. One of my iPhone fanboi coworkers yesterday was commenting on how cool the iPhone is because there is a Webex app that lets you join web conferences. I didn't bother to tell him that all the other smartphones (windows, symbian, palm) can do it without installing special software--through their browsers. Your phone can log into webex sessions via the browser OUT OF THE BOX.

So stop whining about the cool stuff they show on ads for other phones. Your phone is cool. (You can whine about the map software, though--I want better mapping software, so I declare that whining OK.)
