They need to get all its features ready for the 2013 model iPhone so they can claim them as own their invention, the same way the half assed iPhone update from 2 weeks back magically got the widgets and notifications Android has had from the start.
They open one each time someone buys a WP7 phone - its a kind of loss leader tactic so the marketing peeps can trumpet their staff/customer ratio being the highest in the business.
Android 2.2 as I recall. Give this another 12 months and it'll be closer to what Android users have today - without the hypnotized zombies unwilling to admit their prisoner status, natch.
Samsung just add the exact per device m$ extortion fee to all the Wp7 handsets they make. Users either avoid them, and most likely buy Android whilst helping Wp7 die, or cough up anyway and Samsung is even on the "deal".
will they have to repay all the extortion money they conned out of HTC/LG/World + dog? With interest? That would be the final drop of varnish on Ballmers coffin - the nails all went in when he fumbled the Motorla deal and let Google snap it up.
That would mean no-one has ever seen it. I mean, this process must take hours, whereas to me "spontaneous" means they burst into flames. Is there any recorded incident of someone seeing this? Are all the victims alone when it happens?
Patience, my friend. That's Nokias Plan C, to begin in earnest in 12 months time when Ballmers Plan A (build better phones) and Plan B (litigate the competitors out of business) have failed. WP7 will be as relevant then as it is now ( 1%) and the board realise trojan Elop and the whole m$ fiasco was just the most embarrassing low point of their history which they need to move on from as quickly as possible.
It's true, and very perceptive of you to point out what even the most diligent journalists have missed: The reason Android isn't as popular as the iPhone is all that damn typing of netmasks and stuff they have to do each time they turn on their phone.
Plan A: Build better products which compete on merit alone. Failed - look at the market share of anything outside Windows & Office - e.g 1% for their new phone OS or IE's decline. Plan B: Use litigation to extort or smother the competition, e.g. 5$ for every Android handset from HTC. Failed - Motorolas patents will nullify them now, and Ballmer is in serious shit for letting Motorola go to Google. Plan C: Get corrupt government officials to buy their products by helping them do evil. Good luck with that, now it's no longer a secret.
Apple (not the Beatles record label, the one that copied their name) hates copying so much they bully entire countries into banning their competitors. Mind you, they actually do have a sense of humour - at least I'm being charitable and assuming their latest desperate claim over Android itself is a joke. If you can stop laughing long enough after reading that, didn't Andy Rubin do his work on Danger *after* he left Apple? And m$ bought Danger? So by Apples latest barrel-scraping logic, they should be squabbling with m$ too. Oh, and when Andy was 12 I hear he did a paper round, and some of the mags he delivered were tech and so inspired him. The newsagents lawyers would like a word...
I noticed you typed something which looks like the not operator. I'm sorry, I can't allow you to do that as it would violate an m$ patent. Please find an alternative solution.
Whilst you continue extorting $5 per Android handset from HTC your new touchy-feely lets-be-buddies act is worth less than piss froth. So no, I won't even be dignifying your request with a visit to your site out of curiosity.
This dropping into a cradle and walking away whilst it syncs business - that's the equivalent of Android doing it in the background whilst you're also doing the walking, whilst on the phone and surfing the web, the way it has from day 1 - right?
"I drop the iPod or iPhone or iPad in it's cradle. SYNC!" - I've heard of this old fashioned wires thing from my grandpa. It's still in use today? Awesome.
Why does "Mass manufacturer" have any bearing? If I build one first, and prove it in public, that's prior art. Unless said mass producer as a consequence has enough money to buy whatever law it wants...

Just as many will swear *on* to Samsung as a result of this action.
Its been out long enough to become the most popular smartphone OS on the planet, that's how long.

Is fighting evil done to you first, using the same evil as a weapon back, itself evil?

It looks like you want to sexually molest your co-worker. Would you like some help with that?
So good luck with that.
Exactly! If you spend all day in a cess pit, you're gonna freaking stink no matter how much you come to Slashdot trying to pretend otherwise.

That's right - one produces the turds for the other to polish. Sometimes they ask for help trying to shine them up, as in this case.

Clearly you were holding it wrong.
You're right, it is all about the user experience. And you can get the full ios flash experience right here and now in your browser.
