By contrast, ironically, my Android 2.3 running Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 STILL gets MOST of my usage even though I have several devices--some running Android, and it's not even running the latest version of Android or the fastest processor or anything. I love my Galaxy Nexus but that 7-inch form factor with a REALLY good Hummingbird processor that can still keep up really well even with NEW games is truly impressive. Once in a while a REALLY good device comes along that really earns its value--for me, that turned out to be this Tab.

My FM-Transmitter keeps dropping the jaws of all my iPhone friends. They think I am able to hack into their radios.

About Android:

Old school software-guys can never understand and agree Java (or any interpreted based language) software platform can be efficient both in performance and battery wise. Although Android has already proven the points by selling numbers both to IT-experts and to common people and anyone can buy a Android device and see himself.

My friend's dual-core 1.4 GHz Samsung Galaxy S2 can run longer
and more complex (Java) applications with 1650 mAh battery, than my N900 (with 900 Mhz CPU and 2x1320 mAh battery) which have mostly native (c++) applications.
Many old school software professionals just won't believe it would be possible, but it is, and anyone can try himself quite easily.

I am referring to this discussion thread:

The best platform for me would be the main branch Linux kernel based OS (OSS Tizen) with Dalvik VM so Android-applications could be run as well as in any high-end Android-device.
I would not miss Qt, although I wouldn't mind having it also as an option. I hope Samsung will make it happen. Tizen alone without Dalvik support may not succeed.

And about Nokia and its stock price; both deserve the state they are in.

Lets talk WP stock....

I sincerely doubt anyone using an iPhone listens to the radio anymore. VIDEOS OR LIES!

I see Nokia stock has managed to ONLY go down three cents over the past week. Maybe it's finally stabilized to its new true price. 'Course, if it remains less than $5 per share for much longer, it's going to be under threat of being de-listed from the exchange and relegated to the penny stocks markets.

PROOF! You CAN reach your goals!

I got my computer industry start runnung a program called DESQview, which could really multitask in the 1980s. I would rather be running that on a DOS computer than Android. And I DID get ICS yesterday, BTW.

I got interested in this thread because of the links provided - usually a good filter from all the noise and repetition you can get on this topic out there. Some links from this week that are missing here:

LOL I'm sure browsing the web, sending e-mails, watching videos and listening to music works like a charm on Desqview/DOS while relaxing on the couch

I think Nokia/WP 7.X is nothing but a stop gap solution until WP 8 comes along with NT kernel. The current line up of Lumias has proven not to be competitive, and Nokia/MS has to do some real changes no matter what. WP8 is a huge step in the right direction, but even that may not be enough, or it may be too late.

Spec, apps, updates and a good design is what is needed. The Lumias got a good design, that's all. Updates is irrelevant as long as the Lumias lack specs and apps.

A no nonsense quad core ARM or dual core Atom, 1.5+ GHz, PureView camera and 4.5 inch CB Amoled running on Apollo would do. Anything less will not do it today, the Androids will eat it for lunch.
