iPhone 3G[s] - Page 8

Android got very appealing the other day:
http://google-opensource.blogspot.co...scripting.html

Very cool that - could come up with some really cool scripts I reckon. How much time I'd actually want to spend scripting on my phone though is another issue

It's also very Linux friendly of course, which is a big plus.

Main thing with Android is the lack of handset choice at the moment. I hear the Magic is a lot better than the G1, not seen it yet though.

HTC Hero also looks good

and the new Samsung handset, apparently there are ~15 new Android handsets set for release this year!

I did hear something like that yeah, and at least 1 netbook

Either people are keeping quiet about them or I've just missed any details about the other phones, will take a look around.

The good thing for us is that there should be plenty of upgrades and fixes from Palm by the time it turns up for us

I'm tempted with a new iPhone but I've been thinking about what I actually use on my current phone.
Really I just use texting and I'd use web access more with a 3G phone I don't use any of the email or other bits atm so probably won't on a new phone.
What's the touch keyboard like on iPhones for texting?

Very good but to be honest not as good (at least initially) as a physical keyboard. The inductive tech is good thing, much much more accurate than my Touch Dual.

Must be better than my standard Touch

I'm so lazy with this stuff, because the app came up in the app shop for the iphone I stuck it on. Because will the Dual the apps are all over the place I just don't bother to go looking. I'm sure there is a lot my WinMo phone 'can' do but there is very little to tell me and often I have to integrate the new program with the phone. TThe other day I went to d/l a twitter program, it didn't work (wouldn't connect to the net) so I gave up

. d/l it for the iPhone and it just works, no messing. This is what annoys me about WinMo

This is probably the reason I don't use my phone features more, I'm too much of a lazy wotname to sort things out if they don't work straight away.(gotta pay for data atm too)
