Jealous of iPhone games

[eglynum]

Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I just need to put more effort into my searching. Too bad there not just a WiMo games website. You'd think someone would make that happen...

Perhaps someone is already working on such a thing

In no way is it "silly" to compare two devices that both have the ability to be customized to user wishes.

Why does it have to be one way, or the other.... productivity, or entertainment?

Both apple and mac have desktops that do well at both.... There is no reason a small device could not. So far, it looks like Android is a melding of the two... but there is no reason to poo poo somebodies desire for a fully customizable device to be able to do something another device does.

What needs to happen is microsoft needs to take some clues from Apple about user friendliness and usability, and apple needs to look at becoming a more open platform

Um....yes. It is silly. Iphone is not a smartphone/PPC, and therefore should not be compared to one.

the two devices are completely different from each other, and were made for different purposes. windows mobile has been around much longer than the iphone, and from the start, has been made strictly for productive use. its based on windows ce, which again, is made purely for productivity. even apple's barcode scanners/mobile registers run windows ce. if their os was capable of being used in a productive enviornment, don't you think they would use that instead?

the iphone is geared towards entertainment. it can't even copy and paste. how productive can you be if you can't even paste text.

windows mobile, while it can entertain you, has been a platform for pruductivity. there are programs out there that can entertain you, don't get me wrong, but obviously, its not its strongest selling point, and for good reason.

simple solution:

buy an Ipod Touch, then you have all the benifits of having an Iphone without actually having an Iphone

[ou2mame]

can't you tether the itouch to the touch pro, and get internet on it? that could be kinda cool.

[Harper2.0]

You can tether the iphone, only if you jailbreak. I've got my ipod touch jailbroken, and my friends got his iphone 3g jailbroken as well. Jailbreaking has opened a LOT of doors.

[ou2mame]

actually, i wrote that backwards.. i meant, could you tether the diamond or whatever to the itouch, to receive internet... like through bluetooth.
