Pfft. "Just works" ---my bottom---. I had a Droid and after a year, half the applications released for Android slowed my phone down or plain didn't work. There's too many different "flavors" or the OS for applications to work consistently across the different phones.  Granted the newer phones are getting better, but I still see problems (crashing, freezing). I was so annoyed by it so I went with the iPhone.  That "just works".

I still like Android, just not for my phone...

Everywhere I look I see Sammy phones.  They rock and will continue to snub Apple and gain ground.  My good mate is an Apple Fanboi.  He just bought a Galaxy 2 as his 3GS started playing up.  His first comment: Wow!

It is also nice to see that I am always right too.  ;D

I like android, and enjoy my Samsung Galaxy Tab, but I must respectfully disagree with your assertion that Android "just works."  Quite the opposite!

I am on my second Android phone. The first was a Droid Eris, and I hated it. It was too small and underpowered. Now I have the Galaxy S II (Sprint version), and I am very impressed. This is the first phone I have ever really liked, and it works very well. 4.5" screen, 1.2GHz dual core processor, and 2 -3 days on the battery. I think the iPhones look clunky compared to this one. Even the Apple fans at school seem to like this one. Android has come a long way in just a couple of years. If they keep improving it, I don't think anyone will be able to beat it.

It seems the platforms are different enough that one group thinks their phones are superior and "just works" while the other phones are clunky and hard to use. Funny.

Apple had the superior product for years. It took years before a competing product could emerge. Apple had the chance to completely dominate by releasing their phone on all carriers. Instead, they opted for a close ecosystem to maximize profits and left the door open. Now we have 2 in the top spot with RIM and Windows Phone fighting it out for 3rd.

I think what we can all agree on is that Apple needs Android and Android needs Apple. Them competing benefits all of us.

There are free roms out for playing Mame with it.  Its not a Playstation Emulator, which needs a copyrighted bios.

I'm suspicious why anyone would code Mame for the ipieceofshitetphone, when Android is a more superior platform, cheaper, faster, larger market share and you don't have to hold it funny to get a signal.. :blah:  :blah:

Mame on any phone is garbage. These phones are a commodity at this point, lets all move on and give up the phone OS wars. ???
