@verditsgerman: A custom ROM on a Captivate (Galaxy S) is pretty smooth and fast. Still not as system-wide stable as my iPhone, and it really shows in areas where GPU acceleration can shine. Android is getting there, but we're JUST now getting where it needs to be in 2.3 with better garbage collection and GPU

@datafox: It's far easier for me to manage playlists and tag information from the desktop than it is on the phone. iTunes allows me to search through a perfectly sorted database, that allows things like compilations to be sorted album artist, but still stored in the correct song artist folder, and drag/drop to a

@Relysis: If they're id3, they should be fine. I like mp3tag because it'll rip off any old, obsolete tags, and you can easily delete any fields you don't ever plan on using.

@robdschuh: Drag and drop is the opposite of media MANAGEMENT.

@SlightlyOCed: They have. Say what you will about Apple's tight-fisted closed garden we-know-better-than-our-users mentality, the tight software to hardware integration leads to remarkable performance.

@Relysis: iTunes has had zero problems recognizing tags from mp3tag after I rip FLAC files down through dbpowerampconvertor. Not sure what issues you've had, but it does artwork and every id3 tag I can see. My preferred method now is to rip/download, edit tags through mp3tag, and THEN drag them into iTunes.

@EljhHck: I think real-time 3D rendering of your current global location is a little more impressive than page turning animation. Although isn't as sell-able to most people.

So because Sprint won't give the mailing address of the owner of a phone to a random person calling in with the ESN, they're somehow in the wrong?

@Jstick: GSM, not UMTS (3G). Unless it's unlisted, like the T-Mobile Vibrant was/is.

No AT&T frequencies :/. Too bad, was looking forward to jumping on this one.

@lr3guy: I have a company unlimited phone that I don't pay for. I CAN tether it. I don't. So while I don't have a capped plan, the small percentage of users that were way overusing the unlimited packages are one of the main reasons why they now exist.

@lr3guy: And people like you are why we have capped plans. Congratulation.

@RaindropBebop: Every Android phone I've played with has always gotten slower and slower the longer it's been between battery pulls. I KNOW it's got a decent system for killing active processes drawing cpu cycles, but I don't know if the garbage collect isn't as good or what, but it's EVERY Android phone I've had my

Vote: Notpad++

The most impressive thing about that was the speed. That was SNAPPY. If that can pull that off, system wide, and manage to kill applications off well enough, I might trade off my iPhone 4.

Clever how they demo it on the one iOS device WITH a flash...

It's sad that Reeder for iOS is still the best Google Reader solution on any mobile platform. That app is the best I've seen for any platform, period. Not just RSS; anything.

@Hello Mister Walrus: Drunk coeds ARE world reknown for making astonishingly well thought-out and accurate decisions. Trust me, I'm a professional (at something).

Meebo stole me away with fantastic apps for iOS and Android, and a webclient that turns off notifications while I'm signed in there. Digsby was good, but too aggressive with auto status updates and lack of multi-platform support.
