True, the latest Ubuntu is a good OS as well. Just doesnt feel as finished as Windows. And its butt ugly.
Weak point of windows is still the lack of a central installation and update system. Maybe the Windows 8 Marketplace will bring some change, but I doubt it will be as good as good old apt-get.
Still using the Desire S. It's good and all but oh so bland. Android is fine but that can be had on any android device, Just not finding anything physically appealing about the Desire. Wi-Fi performance is poor (holding the top of the device can cause it to drop it's connection to wifi), speaker and camera are poor and so is the GPS. Battery life is seemingly excellent though.
Had the N8 out with me today at the cricket and it still has enough in the tank to hang out with these newer models. Caught this snap of a little bird in the back yard. It seems to have lost its nest but it's mother is still around to feed it. Cute little thing.
Sansa Clip all day long. I can't stop recommending it. Drag and drop, excellent audio, wide range of supported codecs and SD expansion if you fancy more space.
