Arrow Windows Mobile vs Android vs MacOS - who should win?
Hi gays,
last week I met with my friends, who are also keen on smartphone's topic. It turned out, that one of them has Htc Dream with Android, and another one has iPhone 3G with MacOS. I've got Htc with WM so we started discussing which OS is better.

After that conversation I want to hear your point of view. For you which of these three OS is better than remaining two and why?
HTC Tornado -> 2xHTC Vox -> HTC Kaiser -> I-mate Jaq3 -> HTC Charmer -> HTC Wings -> Asus P525 -> HTC Hermes -> HTC Artemis -> HTC Dream -> Toshiba TG01 -> HTC Blackstone -> HTC Diamond -> HTC Dream -> iPhone 3G 16GB -> BlackBerry Storm -> SE Xperia X1 -> iPhone 3G 8 GB -> HTC Rhodium -> HTC Hero -> HTC Desire

Maybe I will start..
So for me the best is of course Windows Mobile, after using Dream for month, I got back to WM.
First, a lot of applications are free, there is no AppStrore or sth like this.
Second, Windows gives you possibility of interfering in OS, not as on Android or Mac

This is and always will be a site for developers, pure and simple. Without them we are nothing, without them there would be no reason for XDA Developers to exist; we should never ever forget that. Without them this place would not be called XDA-Developers but something else, e.g Mobile Phone User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

Well there's a misinformed opinion if I've ever read one...

1) Android = a lot of applications are free.
2) Android = can install applications from *anywhere* -- not just market. In other words, you get the best of everything.
3) Android = operating system is OPEN SOURCE which means that YOU have *ULTIMATE CONTROL* over it. Not so with WM.

Apple isn't too bad, it has a few features (albeit entirely hidden from the user) that are actually strong -- in terms of an operating system. Generally robust and stable. The GUI, nazi market, and locked out of user control aspects of it are horrid though.

WM is basically trash. Dangerous trash. You can't trust it. Everybody can take control over it. There is no real security (despite the BS that you might see). MS has a history of CRAP security... you remember W95? It has an interesting button on the login screen... *CANCEL*.... which basically logged the user in as ADMIN. In later versions, they took the cancel button away, but didn't make any real changes behind the scenes.

Summary:

Android is better than Apple,
Apple is better than WM.
WM is to be avoided like the plague. DIE WM DIE.
