Jumped Ship to Android
After 10 years of PocketPC/PPC/WinMo/Windows Mobile/Windows Phones…. or whatever you want to call it, I have jumped ship and have become an Android groupie. Have chosen the HTC Desire.
So far the experience has been quite positive except that I am almost out of space to add more apps.
Am hoping that there will be a Froyo update to the Desire quicksmart! Hopefully I can add more Android articles in the future.
Meanwhile it will be nice to hear about any tips and experiences
