2.All app updates happen through a centralized app store, and you update with 2 screen presses.

With the Handango App.

"Automatic Updates – New content and promotions delivered automatically at
intervals YOU define"

3. Voice to text in EVERY search field in ANY application

Pretty dang close Tellme

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.

Add Tab function.

5. Google search integrated searches the web, your files on the phone and your programs for ridiculously easy access.

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

5. Full Flash implementation which will NEVER come to Windows Mobile.

Skyfire

6. 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.

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.
You have got to be joking. Handango is not a centralized app store. Find me Bing, Google maps, Tom Tom, Garmin, etc, etc, etc. They don't have it. They sell THEIR games and apps there, that is not a centralized app store and you look silly comparing that to the Android Market.

TellMe is not even remotely close. Tell me requires you to launch the TellMe app and has very limited functionality. Android has voice search in every aspect of the OS and throughout all programs. You again are making yourself look silly.

Skyfire is not a full flash implementation. Its server side rendering of flash. It does not function nearly as well as on Android and again is limited.

The hardware back button never fails, but what does it do when you are in Opera? Does it go back a page? Does it take you back into the OS? What does it do when you are in a menu? Its different every time you press it. In most programs it just kicks it back to the OS. That is not the same at all.

6.5.x does not make windows mobile fully finger friendly. Go into the settings and it instantly falls back to small non finger friendly lists and layouts.


That is the amazing response? Tell me and skyfire and Handango? These aren't even close to the same thing that android has, and makes me think you don't even know anything about Android. I WISH these things could compare, but I mean, they are not even close. People that have used both would be laughing out loud reading your post.
