Ya know....as bad as fanboyism between Android and WinMo in this thread, it doesn't even get remotely close to fanboyism from apple users......Just sayin'

It is funny watching the green robot fans and the ol' skool WinMo fans getting at each other's nerves trying to defend their respected OSes, but it's all these arguments are getting old.

I agreed with some of the users here who pretty much sum up my point (you all know who you are !!). Each OS (WinMo and Android) has it's own ups and downs against each other. Each to their own I say, so please stop whining and complaining that "WinMo is slow and crash all the times", or "android is not as versatile as WinMo". Chill the hell out people. Use what works for you. If the phone you currently use doesn't cutting it for you, find something that works (whether it's Android, WinMo, or god forbid Apple's OSX).

Here's my perspective on the whole Android VS WinMo. I am a long time WinMo user. I have used WinMo since the I found out about the TmoUS MDA (or HTC Wizard for those not familiar with US branding). Since then I have use WinMo phones up till I got the G1. My last WinMo phone was Tmo Wing(R.I.P). Then I'm an android convert. Android/G1 was everything that my Tmo Wing wasn't. But after tinkering with G1 for the last 2 years, the Android OS finally feeling like my Tmo Wing again, slow and laggy. There's so much tweaks/hacks can do when the limitation is coming from the hardware.

I finally able to afford both N1 and HD2 and I say they are both gorgeous in their own ways. Hypothetically speaking when given the same hardware specs, at this point WinMo 6.5.xx still have more versatility and able to do pretty much everything that Android can (minus the apps of course).

in the long run, however, Android should be way ahead of WinMo 6.5/WP7 because of such a rapid rate of development from android community. Especially when WinMo 6.5/CE will becoming a legacy system because MS will (eventually) drop support for it in order to promote WP7 ecosystem. Could this happen? probably. Will happen definitely? probably not.

AndroidOS has its own problem with kernel fragmentation in order to be running on multiple devices at a multiple platforms (they even have a digital picture frames running Android for God's sake). Different kernel for different different device can cause problems with incompatibility for future OS-wide updates. Diversity can be Android greatest strength or its beginning of an end.

Meanwhile, dev communities will try to keep WinMo 6/CE alive beyond MS official support. How they can last? Who knows, but eventually there's only so much tweak and support for WinMo system before the hardware become obsolete.

until then, keep tweaking and hacking my fellow devs and enthusiasts. Your works are greatly appreciated by myself and most of this forum members. I might not able to support much with my technical knowledge, but I hope my donations can help you buy a beer or two (or ramen noodles).

If my post sounds like incoherent rambles pardon me. I have been up for over 24 hrs since I got my last sleep. I work graveyard shift but somehow I can't fall asleep and now I'm feeling a little loopy.
