Another vote for OneNote + Tablet PC.

Thanks for recommending these apps. I'll try them. I'm sure for most purposes there are apps to cover what I'm missing in Android. I didn't get your other point about WM being unusable on a capacitive touchscreen. My experience with HD2 and sense was quite positive. Older apps might be really hard to use without a stylus but I didn't have any significant problem with lots and lots of apps that I used on WM. Anyway, maybe I have just forgotten the bad parts and only remember the good parts :)

I suggest to try Android on HD2 to see how it works. You can do it even without removing WM6.5 (i.e you can run Android from the SD card). Contrary to what you said, Android has really poor support for media files: it cannot play most AVIs, does not support WMW and WMA, etc. On HD2 I could play almost anything I can play on my Desktop but with Android half of my library is unplayable. Currently I'm running Android from ROM on my HD2 but I'm seriously thinking of going back to WM6.5. I have been using Android on it for months but now that novelty has worn out, I miss the good media support, Office mobile, Remote Desktop, more complete Buletooth support (Bluetooth stack on Android sucks! Even on Nexus One it sucks big time!) and all the offline apps (dictionary, navigation, ...). I know that some of these do not work properly on WP7, but Android fail at many of them too.

What? Don't you think the obvious answer is that if you cannot stop short, you are driving too fast! If it rains, you have to slow down, doubly so if you don't have a good break.

WP7 and old iPhone did supported all of the scenarios you presented. The point is in none of your examples 2 programs need to run at the same time. The suspend/resume model used in WP7 and old iPhone is/was sufficient for all those cases. What is new is the possibility to bug the CPU in two user programs at the same time (both OS can/could run multiple system tasks at the same time). It is sometimes needed but circumstances are much more limited than initially appears.

You have valid points, still Google didn't deny the results and in a sense, confirmed it. Read Google's response again: NSS says IE is better than Chrome in X, but hey, they didn't say Chrome is better at Y and Z. NSS didn't claim X covers everything related to security so bringing Y and Z to the discussion is just a move to draw attentions from X.

Well, I did that in 2007. I noticed that a top of the line graphics card is almost as expensive as a whole game console! I was tired of constantly upgrading my PC. There was always something to add, something to upgrade and some more time to spend fixing this or that than actually using my PC for anything. I switched to a Tablet PC as my main computer, got rid of my desktop and got an Xbox 360. I selected a Tablet PC since it was, well, cool and also I was sure I couldn't do much about upgrading it. For 3 years since then I was mostly happy. However old habits don't die easily. I got tired of my under powered, dual-core 2GHz + 4GB tablet. I wanted something more from my Xbox 360. I wanted customizability of Unreal Tournament 2004 and large scale of Supreme Commander back. So two months ago I got myself a new desktop: a 3.2 GHz i7 with 12GB of RAM, SSD boot drive, 2x2TB HDD, HD5870, ... a monster of machine! Now my Xbox is only used to play street fighter IV with friends that come over and all new games are on PC. I don't know where my Tablet PC is and I don't care that much anymore. I also could go back to my other hobby, developing chess engines and throwing lots of hardware at it...

True. Also consider that there could be multiple users at home so they might need to do several of those things at the same time.

I'm curious. I have the Driod Incredible's manual in front of me. On which page of they have mentioned that?

You still don't get it, do you? The test is fine. They did exactly same thing, with and without a glove. 10 dB difference. Difference is due to insulation. End of story.

So how do you explain the 10 dB difference? Your old radio example is irrelevant since here we are talking about two antennas not one. Try harder next time.

The point is that iPhone 4 has 2 problems: one due to metal antennas (yes, there are two antennas and they should not be connected together) and another one due to the death grip. Apple basically deflected the question by talking only about death grip while the real issue was this specific design flaw that bare metal antennas could be bridged together if you hold the phone in a certain way. Anandtech showed that bridging bare metal antennas add another 10 dBm attenuation on top of what you get from death grip.

Well, I don't know what you mean by open. Do you mean open as in people can buy the license and even get the source? (e.g. H.264). Then I guess we live in an open world. Just as a comparison, here is the list of open formats on Windows:

Audio: WMA (open)
Video: WMV (open)
Mail: .pst (open)
Address book: .pst (open)
Office apps: .docx, .xlsx, etc. (open)
OS API: .NET (open)
OS API: Win32 (open, shared source)
OS core: NT (open, shared source)

Hell, why stop there? Everything is open if you can buy it! Did you know that Google's search engine is also open? You just need to afford to buy Google Inc.

hmmm, how? This particular developer was looking for making money right from the beginning (his app had a paid version too) and I can argue that but not making it FOSS, he made it possible for Google to buy it (money!) and hire him (money! money!). How would he make comparable profit buy making the project FOSS?

Well, the point is I didn't want a larger display and generally higher end notebooks at smaller sizes (like 12") are more expensive. I got this Tablet at the end of 2006 but even today powerful tablets tend to be expensive.
