On the bright side, you have multiple carriers to choose from. Sprint is a new contender in this mobile game along with C Spire. (Check out cspire.com, their website is really nice.)

Quote:The trojan horse is called Mac Defender. It's a web pop-up containing a spoof message that tells customers their machines are infected by a virus and they must install anti-virus software. If customers agree to install the software, the program sporadically loads porn websites on their computer.

The inevitable has happened, someone decided to target Mac users. It doesn't look like it's such a problem, since there has been only 200 reported cases of this to Apple.

Now, given how soon after me purchasing this phone on an 18month contract the iPhone 4 came out I am reluctant to upgrade - obviously because as soon as I do number 5 will come out...

But now they have brought it out in white... What will I do!!!!

Advice please happy0045]]>

So I'll just get to the main points.

Open Source
I love Android because it's open source, allowing your apps to do so much more. When I want to open another app through the voice option I can simply do so by saying "open Blah Blah" or if I want to go into it's files and add some songs, I don't have to install software onto your PC. (It is optional though.)

Customizations
I'm not one of the thousands convinced by Apple that it was alright to use a product designed by them and visually controlled by them in every way. I enjoy customizing my phone so that whenever I come to unlock it, it just says "Hello" to me.

Cloud
The most important thing to my life, is the cloud. I already have all my contacts stored in there, my calendar -- everything, and it's in one useful place. MobileMe is nice, I guess, but Google is free.

Multi-tasking
Android and iOS both have multi-tasking, however, developers need to make their apps compatible with the multi-tasking. Which itself is basically useless because iOS just freezes applications in the background (Source) and get this: you can't use it on anything below a third generation iPod. People have been using it on 2G iPods but you require a jailbreak, which for some people is too much work.

As for Android, it does it automatically for you. And don't worry, there are Task Manager apps provided to kill or block apps from ever appearing in the background. If you need extra memory for an app you are opening, Android will simply close some other process, automatically.

Also, if you use Skype, push notifications can be delayed. With iOS, you have to have it backgrounding to receive calls in-time without delays.

Search
The search on the Android software is simply amazing, I mean come on, it's made by Google. With a simple tap of a button and waiting for the "ok" signal from your phone to talk, you can look up anything you'd like. For example, puppies. Just a press of a button and there you go.

Vlingo Virtual Assistant is a terrible application on the App Store, just bad. However when I found it on the Android Marketplace, I fell in love right away. It has so many features that aren't limited by iOS. It has a mode for when you're in a car which voices to you text messages, email, and what you want to say. You just say "hey Vlingo!" and wait for a beep, after that, you just say "call mom" or "email mom message Hello" or even "text mom message hi". (Of course this is something I won't be using anytime soon because I don't have a license but just worth mentioning.)


Flash Player
Yeah, I know, flash player. It's something iOS users have been wanting but Apple decides it's "not needed" just like a camera on the iPod Touch 2G but here it is on the latest version.. Android is open source, so hey, why not? You do have to recognize the limitations on phones and junk, so games won't be so hot to play sometimes, but flash video is something I'd use -- alot. I can visit my favorite Newgrounds.com to see the featured videos and have a good laugh.

Oh yeah, Adobe Flash Released and Adobe Flash on Android Marketplace.

----------------
Android isn't perfect and I have to agree that it fails in several areas but overall a good product, something I'll keep using.
