Another Reason Android Rocks

A lot of iPhone users laugh at me when I tell them I got the T-Mobile Android phone. First they mention the commercials and ask what Whoppi Goldberg has to do with selling phones, then they ask me why I didn't get an iPhone. They feel the iPhone is superior in every way.

Personally, I felt the iPhone was lacking. While it has a gazillion applications, it seems that Apple is creating a device with a lot of design but limits on functionality. Google, on the other hand, seems to be pouring a lot into the Android system. The latest cool example? The Quick Search Box.

At first I thought, what good is the quick search box? It's just another portal to the web. Boy was I wrong. The thing searches the web, the phone, my contacts, everything! I was in New York recently trying to find a client's address. I used the quick search box in hopes of pulling up a map and the results took me to the contact of the client I was going to meet. It was exactly what I needed on the fly.

This operating system is on the verge of blowing away the iPhone and its functionality.

Microsoft

Leave it to Microsoft to require 18 pieces of software be installed to do something simple like export my contacts from Outlook.  Between that and the "shortage" of iPhones, I'm really starting to think that the dominant computing paradigms are not the way to go. Unless it's a disaster I believe that a Google phone is in my future.
