It's not a pizza one way or the other, either ;-)

>You're missing my point. A Pizza Hut app is not a deal breaker one way or another. Now, let's look at your list:
>
>>Well hey I really like pizza...buuut since you asked:. It
>>
>>WM7 (HD7) downers:
>>No multi-tasking, results in lots of reloading…
>I don't miss it at all. In fact, it should extend battery life
>
>>No cut, copy, and paste
>Umm. nope. You're wrong there.
>
>>No custom ringtone capability
>I've got plenty of ring tones.
>
>>Limited customizability on Start screen
>Not sure how much more you need. I've put the apps I use most on the start screen
>
>>Lack of some key apps (Evernote, Kindle or Nook, and podcatcher)
>That's an issue with the vendors, not the platform. WP7 comes with OneNote. It does everything I need. IMO, a phone is too small a device to do serious reading, so I don't give a hoot about no Nook app. BTW, the Nook app for the PC sucks big time.
>
>>Office apps are pretty limited in terms of what you can do from the phone
>Is that a fault of the app or the platform. Any phone is going to be limited. But a phone is not designed to be a complete replacement for a PC. It's just too small and difficult to do any serious Office app work.
>
>>Inconsistency in auto rotation (especially lame with kickstand and then Zune always in portrait mode)
>That's the fault of the app, not the platform.
>
>>Lock into Zune software for PC connections (no drive or file access)
>I don't miss it.
>
>>Lack of tethering support
>I don't have a need for tethering, so don't miss it.
>
>>Lack of ability to capture screenshots
>Not sure why that's a big deal. How often do you need to do this?
>
>But..... you're missing the big picture. Android's competition is the iPhone, not WP7.
>
>>
>>Android goodies:
>>True multi-tasking where apps can be running at the same time as other apps
>>Customizability of the home screen and panels
>>Excellent application selection in the Android Market
>>Google services integration with Voice, Listen, Search, Gmail, and Maps
>
>I don't use Google apps for anything. So, no biggie. I've got access to Bing maps, which, IMO, are superior.
>
>>Full access to the directory structure on the device
>>Excellent Exchange integration with slick view options (conversation, faves, attachments)
>
>I don't use Exchange.
>
>>Awesome mobile web browser with best text reflow support compared to ANY other platform
>
>IE 8 does everything I need.
>
>>Google Maps Navigation service that is tough to beat and has proven to be reliable
>Again, I don't use Google maps.
>
>>WiFi Hotspot tethering capability
>>Widgets for things such as wireless connection management
>I can manage wireless connections. Not sure what your issue is.
