we will just have to see when microsoft launches it.

They are the biggest and the best, so I have no doubt wm7 will blow android out of the water...

Do we need sound working or what? Isn't this whole project about running whatever OS you want to on your device? We're booting Winmo and Android, which is great.

I need winmo for business use - folks rarely talk about it, but my BIGGEST beef with Android or OS3/4 is the email attachment handling. I receive excel or word attachments all the time and need to view those suckers on my phone. Can't do it with Android or OS3/4. How about accepting a meeting? Ever tried that using exchange over android? Not easy, you have to accept it from your calendar, which is dumb -frustrating if the meeting is in the future, you have to navigate to the specific date to accept the meeting.

Now, where android beats the socks off of Winmo or OS 3/4 is that it is OPEN SOURCE. Compare the original release of Android to 2.1 and you'll appreciate the speed at which android is progressing. Apple or Microsoft will never be able to keep up with the pace of open source development and enhancement.

Winmo 7 might be great- maybe even the best - for 3 months, then android will surpass it, remaining better for the next 1-2 years while Microsoft is working on Winmo 8.
