For those about to defect to Droid (or android)

Stop and think about this.
I've searched frantically for the last few days, trying to find similar apps for the Droid. Since I was convinced that it was the best move.
Can't find any XM Radio app
Can't find any Groovefish
Can't find Kinoma Play
WM already has voice activated Bing with directions located by GPS
Wm already has turn by turn directions with Bing, Google maps, Amaze.
WM already has all the apps anyone would ever logically use.
WM already has Tellme voice activated search w/ GPS functionality.
WM already has SPB Mobile Shell with smooth touch controls and panels with widgets. Or if you prefer TF3D, or if you prefer, Titanium, or if you prefer Stock Omnia widgets.
So OK what do you get with Android?
Well, you don't get apps that give purpose to the OS. That being "Intents" which is supposed to link apps together seamlessly. Yes, there are apps that join contacts with maps,(WM does as well) maps with search, (WM does as well) Really nothing stunning.
What you have is just another OS like any other with apps that mostly stand alone rather than take advantage of the OS platform.
So for any Omnia users, think twice. I was convinced I was jumping ship, I'm not so sure now.
