Android is not a smartphone. Edit: Downvote? so android is a smartphone? The parent was complaining about different smartphones, not different OSes. I think thats a subtle difference.
I think you're being pedantic when his meaning was clear.
I don't know why the other comment's been killed, but this is blogspam. Original story here, from the ones that actually interviewed Wozniak: http://anewdomain.net/2012/04/26/apple-founder-inventor-stev...
Increasingly, smaller articles about other articles get much more traffic than the original source. One such example is the well-researched NYT article about how companies learn your secrets, and then the Forbes article that cut the crap and got to the real shocker of the story and got more pageviews (possibly $$$) http://nickoneill.com/how-fortune-stole-a-new-york-times-art...

I felt that webOS was immature. There was places that weren't smooth. Also, some of the web rendering was just messed up. I have seen characters broken in two.
Rendering glitch aside, it was the best designed OS for it's time. Interactive notifications, gestures, multitasking and app switching. all copied by ios and android after webos fell apart.
Besides that - why would you actually rotate between a lot of devices? Is anyone here doing something similar? I get that it's nice to have a work phone and a private phone, but why would you rotate them? I can understand that someone wants to try something new, but in the end, I would stick to my favourite - not going back to an old one I didn't like.
Android is a really low bar. I've used several smartphones and the Android ones are easily the worst. It really does feel cobbled together and unintuitive. I call it the platform that makes. Symbian look good. On the other hand it's what I use since Apple has been so hostile to me and friends, and webOS is clearly a dead-end.
I have played around a bit with a Lumia some weeks ago (it was available earlier in Europe), and I have to say I was quite disappointed. Microsoft waited too long with screen resolution upgrades, and its low resolution makes it feel like an Android from 2 years ago. That makes it hard to trump modern Androids like the Galaxy Nexus UI-beauty-wise. The navigation paradigma Microsoft uses is not for me, I prefer Apple's…
But I am curious, a lot of praise comes to windows mobile from iphone fans (I am not talking about Woz but many others). Would there be a lot of Apple fans really switching to Lumias or are they simply telling it just to criticize Android?
