Real geeks will continue to use and develop WinMo! :P

Can we make android look like winmo and pretend we still use it?

or save the trouble and claim its windows mobile running an android theme >.>

I just caught up with all the posts and it seems like some people smoked some good stuff and thought of some crazy things to add.

In a way those crazy marketing posts make sense. You don't think about what you are doing but you shop at walmart because you know they roll back prices. You get a coffee from starbucks because you see everyone else walking around with a cup and you seen them everywhere so they must be good.

Maybe with Microsoft out of the picture and real geeks working on WinMo, it will really go somewhere!

you definitely aren't most people. you've NEVER been to walmart and only starbucks 3 times? How come you've never been to a walmart, just wondering? I don't even drink coffee but for sure i've seen the inside of a starbucks more then 3 times in my LIFE. I wonder what places you visit often.

Well I kinda live in middle of no where..this place called NYC and...lol

Well there aren't any walmarts here...I think they built one somewhere in ny state recently(maybe long island) or something but I don't think there is any in the city...

as for starbucks, I only visit it if I am with other people and need to sit down and use the laptop..maybe get a strawberry drink (I don't drink coffee either..makes me sleepy)

But the above is rare cause I usually just work in office or from hotel room. (I spend A LOT of time working, way over 12 hours a day lol)

Personally I prefer to try different stuff rather then same things...I usually visit places when on my business trips and I wouldn't go to a starbucks since I have one here..not that I really visit it lol

I'm sorry guys but things like this have been happening a very long time. None of this is intended to offend anyone. 80% of people don't actually know how to drive a car. They aim it and push the accellerator. These people wouldn't have a clue how to drive a car with a standard transmission, and a manual choke. Let's go back even further. Almost all of us don't know how to churn our butter from milk freshly milked from a cow. Most of us don't even know how or when to milk a cow at all. Let's go back even further than that. Few of us here know how to harvest wheat and process it to make flour or any other wheat realated product, such as bread. Now let's go back to the begining of humanity. Very few of us at all can make fire out of flint or sticks and hunt our own meat down with nothing more than a sharpend stick. We don't know how to process the skin from our hunted animal to make clothing. If the governments of the world really wanted to, we would all but starve to death just by shutting down the farms and factories. Most of us here would be pretty helpless should the farming industry and factories of our countries be shut down. I'll probably never buy an Android phone because I probably couldn't afford one but Google is just doing what has been done through out history starting with our hunter, gatherer ancestors. They make things easier for the masses to the point that we forget how to do it ourselves and they continue to market to us. I, myself, don't have a clue how to make butter, milk a cow, hunt my own meat with a spear, make clothing from hide or make fire with flint and sticks. I am, however, in the 20% that does own a car with a manual transmission and choke.
I couldn't afford an automatic everything car so I was forced to learn the primative car driving method at a young age.
This is just a continuation of what has been going on sense the beginning of time.

In the end it'll be a Facebook/myspace offbreed(or merger), Wal-Mart, and Google.

Deal with it, or do something about it.
