Can u say that about the droid or iphone?

Windows mobile is also the only os that can use skyfire n they are the only ones so far that have figured out how to fully view a www with flash.

What was that about free apps on the iphone n droid?

Now dont get me wrong, I HATE microsoft and im a die hard Palm OS fan. But i changed to windows mobile because of the apps available to windows mobile. N think about it the iphone and droid are babies compared to windows mobile and plam. There are so many different companies and individuals making apps for windows mobile that its not possible to list all of them in one location.

I just love posts like this the apps don't compare to iphone
save from a few games (which gaming is an iffy subject because its g sen or on screen based) the games are NOT end all be all. While I did love the game zenonia all of the "top games" on the iphone were ridiculously annoying and a bit of a waste of x amount of dollars.

That being said, as far as productivity is concerned, windows has it beat because of time. Windows has been here for more than a decade and it shows in the hacking and modifying. Sure there are a handful of applications in marketplace, but this is also because marketplace is

TWO MONTHS OLD!

There is a pervasive negative bias against anything windows to include windows mobile and many people parakeet and repeat things they have heard on a blog and yet have never truly used a windows device in their life.

Finally, its of course advertising and incentive. Windows doesn't have it and it should. Nuff said. So there is a lot of good reasons why there aren't as many apps but that's evolving like windows always evolves. I've had more builds of wm oses in this year than in 3 years of owning smart phones (and that includes blackberry, iphone - see iphone boredom thread, and android os)

Long story short, most application (90%) are made on either ppcgeeks or xda developers (more being the latter). So use a google =)
