I switched to Samsung from HTC for the reasons stated above (removable battery, SD card), and also because the build quality of my last HTC phone was very poor. Another factor: I may have considered the OneX, but my carrier got the S3 immediately and there's no sign of the OneX...
Honestly, you are probably correct. At least I hope you are. The person who rejected the app lives in a fanboy mindset where all products a person uses are either Apple, or not-Apple. Why on earth would somebody have an iPad but have an Android phone?
What I thought was the most interesting is that this conclusion is quoted from one of the professional analyst companies, when this story in CIO (actually a link off another CIO article that appeared in Slashdot a couple of days ago) talks about how they a) often don't know what they're talking about and b) will have whatever conclusion they are paid to have.
There are a ton of individuals and small businesses out there still running Windows 95 un-updated, out of the box. At least from what I'm seeing.
I think his comment is fair. The reality is that a usable target API has been out there since late 1995.
Microsoft's big leap in technology was in going from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95. Everything else has been incremental improvements. I don't know what the sales figures are like, but personally I've seen a lot of machines still running Windows 95, Office 95 or 97, etc. For each release of the software, the reason to upgrade becomes less and less compelling. If everything you need to run works, why upgrade?
Plus people just go with what was installed on the machine when it was shipped, and do not mess with it. Windows software development shops know this.
How many 3rd party software packages have you seen that require Windows 98 or ME but will not run on 95?

Hmmmm... maybe should have ordered more from hsn.com
I have a wireless monitor too. It's a laptop with a wireless card and an X-Windows server.
I guess this is what happens when you hand your administration over to inexpensive non-experts.
