Android vs i-Phone

[countzero]

I guess its finally time for me to ditch my docomo-foma and move to a smart phone ...

I've seen the HTC Desire HD and I must say it looks sexy

I know apple has a stronger app market but I'm not sure I'll be needing a sequencer or voice synthesis on my phone. mission critical stuff seems to have been ported to the android (office suite related stuff, gps-map, facebook, etc ...) is there any reason for me to choose apple ? if not I'ld really like to avoid having to use stuff like i-tunes ...

If you are in the US, a lot depends on the carrier you are with.

I'm in Japan, and both are offered by the same carrier (SoftBank)

finally I made my decision. steve (blow) jobs can suck my BALLz :afro: I went for the Android and Desire HD ! hurray ! (naked dancerz doing hula hula here) :afro::banana::banana::banana:

no it cant. so  TO HELL WITH THE I-PUKE !

The battery is little bit problematic, but its ok for a day if dont fondle it too much. The screen is awesome, speed is very good (much better than the tube stuff I posted) I'm loving this phone !

On a plus side, I just compiled my first hello world ! (yet to run it on the phone though)

there's also a Atari 8 bit emulator ! and playing Yoomp with gyroscope is so much fun !

the only downside is the multitasking nature of the OS makes it so that you have to keep a track of whats running if you want to do some important stuff. like when you're taking a video, and lots of apps running in the background, your video turns out shite. I still need to learn to tweak this baby. But so far, its awesome ! :knuddel:

thanks nicholas ! great stuff ! I just installed them and the change is very obvious ! wonder why makers decide cripple their own devices with the default shit they put ?

anyway, now I'm all set, except for one thing. As a first objective, I'll try to port this to the android ! stay tuned !

edit : wow there's some paula emulation in the code too ? this thing is also a mod player ! not that it's really necessary cause XMP covers about all amiga mod needs but cool !
