There are some smartphones with WM. The Q, the PN-820. The iPhone is a smartphone but not windows mobile. The term smartphone doesn’t mean windows mobile.

Didn’t Ballmer said …
Didn’t Ballmer said the same thing about “…many many customers and millions of phones (using Windows Mobile) and Google is just coming out to the market and good luck t them…” in reference when he was asked about the iPhone. He even laughed at the iPhone and is laughing at the Android. I wonder what will Ballmer say when Android or any other non-Microsoft drives them our of the market… “oopsis?”

This is the guy who said the iPhone would never take off. heh.

T-Mobile don’t …
T-Mobile don’t offer service where I am so I won’t be able to get my hands on it.
And I don’t see why I get 3 thumbs down for writing the comment that I did. Everything in my comment is true…I’m not anti-Android but I think people should wait to see a real commercial device before the “gPhone is great” talk starts… I would like to see it be successful esp. since it’s open source.

Maybe, but Linux …
Maybe, but Linux doesn’t exactly have a huge home user base yet; its much more popular as a server manager as its fairly weak on graphics. Adding to the difficulty of programing viruses for Linux are all the different flavors, like redhat or mandrake. But mobile devices, which would have to be somewhat standardized, are much different from a terminal; ergo a Mobile (regardless of OS) is more vulnerable, especially since mobile devices physically change hands more often. *shrug* We’ll see.

Poor naysayers…it …
Poor naysayers…it doesn’t look like Android is going to fail. Its the Iphone for any hardware vendor and carrier that wants it while Iphone is exclusive to AT&T and no other hadware vendors. Its also an open way for developers to make applications that have access right down to the core of the phone. Look for it to blow the Iphone and Windoze mobile completely out of the water. The carriers and phone makers simply have too much to gain from it. One can’t let the other get and not answer back.

Nice try but there …
Nice try but there are only 100 or so viruses out there for Linux and each one requires that you be sitting at a terminal with root access to install it. If you had virus trouble then its someone internal putting them on the machines. Too many people have root access.
If you meant problems with folk breaking in then the admins don’t know what they are doing or how to harden a base install.

WM’s an OS that’s architecturally retarded. There’s just something about the way it was structured that just doesn’t give the right user experience. WM is a drag, while I see that Android’s interface seems to flow much more fluidly and speedily.

I can’t speak for …
I can’t speak for others, but my former company had a good deal of Virus trouble with Linux. Granted, this was a network, not a phone. As for OSX, its less flexible, more secure, but the OSX/Oompa A virus specifically targeted iChat. Now I don’t know how the things are programed, but I would think that a chat protocol on a desktop mac cannot be so different from a phone instant messenger. But like I said, I dont know. I dumped my iphone for unrelated reasons, it got too ed hot!
