Speed is certainly important... a primary bottleneck in many web 2.0 (or any heavy javascript apps) apps I help maintain is IE's pitiful performance. We can't force everyone off IE, esp. people who use our sites in the enterprise, or just do not know anything different than IE. IE 8 is tolerable, but a lot of people still use IE7 and even 6, unfortunately. I just wish IE9 was brought to XP.
Version 6 also contains the new Chrome UI updates and all the other v6 stuff they have been working on the past few months. However, it is true that their major release number advancements are fast. This particular issue simply marks the stable release for v6.
Keeping more than one version of anything requires effort and more people. Also, it's not THAT much different. A few links and buttons were moved around and panels changed a bit. Other than that, I can't really tell what else has changed. If you're complaining about that...i mean really... i'll just get off your lawn now.
The Sprint bloatware is pretty crappy. I would almost argue that half of the Sense UI crap is bloatware. I am lucky to have a Hero in such that is easy to root and load a new ROM (the hardware, however, is VERY average), so my Android experience is pretty decent these days:)
Yeah, I know WPF/XAML is flexible, but it is a real chore to develop in. Maybe VS2008 IDE was not up to snuff for it. Not sure if VS2010 is much better for WPF apps.
Also, I believe Android took a few production versions before there was any multi-touch. The hardware supported it, but it wasn't until HTC Sense UI for Android came out that any form real multi-touch came into play and even that sucked initially (I know it sucked on the HTC Hero immensely). 2.1+ is better these days at least... but most of the Android UI core is still very single-touch oriented.
That is correct, as the Compact Framework was a subset also. Silverlight is more media focused than CE, I think. I haven't used either that much (even though I do a lot of.NET dev in general, I am more focused on web apps and services).
My wife and the iPad had the same experience - while she is certainly more tech oriented, she hate messing with it, when a click on a user-friendly app store lets her try a large variation of applications available with prices obviously displayed. I, personally, have no use for the iPad, but I see why people like it so much and why they'd rather have one over a netbook.
Silverlight is just a fancy term for a mobile version of.NET these days (well, that is my take on it) - it will probably replace the compact framework ultimately (as that was for CE devices in the past). Comparing Flash and Silverlight is a bit odd as, at first glance, look like rich media platforms for the web - however, Silverlight has a fairly robust development framework behind it already and I am very sure that the WP7 OS and the requirements to have it on a phone will make it run more than adequately. So basically, it is just a variation of the.NET framework... which was pretty much a no-brainer.

Gentlemen, I need not remind you that this galaxy has an atmosphere of negative 5. This is an atmosphere in which beards cannot grow.

It'll be the year 2525 or something....

Foxit insists on installing toolbars and special search engines these days... don't like it one bit.

I would call that place misleading also... over-priced and, occasionally, food poisoning. Unless they advertise that bit, then it's all OK!
