eric,


my point was that iOS and Android slaughter WP7 and why, BUT that it's not fair to say that is is a fair comparison based on the age of the OS. Also you failed to notice that I was giving more of a post Mango idea of the operating systems and outlining more general differences in the usage and purpose of each OS.

fyi "self contradictory" is redundant since a contradiction in nature refers to someone's present statement/action not agreeing with an earlier statement/action by the same individual.

as to the supposed security of WP7 over Android and iOS, wasn't it just a few weeks ago that someone hacked into and found a way to, with one click, download any app (paid of free) onto their WP7 phone and easily circumvent MS's "security" and pirate apps, then shared the exploit with MS?

being utterly locked down, not allowing devs the APIs they need to develop more awesome apps, and guard-dogging the marketplace isn't actually safer in any practical sense. An iPhone, even with ASLR and a locked OS, can still be hacked into. A WP7 device could easily be circumvented and so can the marketplace by a very experienced hacker.

I do agree with Darren that WP7 is off to a good start, no OS starts out perfect, Android and iOS still have flaws, but right now they are the better choice.

In two years let's talk, I may just have a phone that ONLY runs WP7 instead of one that runs WP7, Android, and WM6.5.3
