3. Voice to text in EVERY search field in ANY application
4. The on screen keyboard takes control in text fields, allowing you to tap "Next" at the lower right to skip to the next text field and "Done" after you have reached the last. This is better than having to tap the screen hiding the keyboard, scroll down, tap the next text field which brings up the keyboard again.
5. Google search integrated searches the web, your files on the phone and your programs for ridiculously easy access.
6. Full Flash implementation which will NEVER come to Windows Mobile.
7. Entire OS actually utilizes the back button, including applications. Have never had to use the back button in windows mobile, and when I have used it, it never did anything predictable.
8. The OS is designed completely to be used with fingers and not a stylus. No tiny OK buttons or menus to deal with. Windows Mobile has never rid itself of these completely.
9. Keyboard auto capitalizes first letter of each word when in a name field.
These are just some of what I have noticed running the latest build of android on my TP2. I have spent about 2 hrs in the OS total. This list, unlike the OP's list, is valid and is actually based on things Windows Mobile either cannot do or does not do anywhere near as well. I could go into how nobody released apps on windows mobile anymore and how android is the only real competition to the iPhone in that regard, but I didn't put that in the list because its not actually a feature of the OS itself.
PS - The very point that these threads are being made is proof that Android is a more modern and "better" OS. No one who owns a Mercedes goes onto a car forum and gives a 10 point list why their car is better than a Toyota, while the opposite happens quite often.

Add Tab function.

Last time I checked I can use google.com I have a search feature on my phone to find things to.

Skyfire

The Hardware back button never fails for me………………………..
8. The OS is designed completely to be used with fingers and not a stylus. No tiny OK buttons or menus to deal with. Windows Mobile has never rid itself of these completely.
Running 6.5.x (there are Official Phone on the market with it) only time I use the styli is on the occasion I need to Soft reset.
9. Keyboard auto capitalizes first letter of each word when in a name field.
Mine does too.
If you want to get technical than ya some of these are not pre installed with the OS, but there are lots of quirks that Android has that it takes additional software out of the box to get the full user experience.
