I'm actually shocked at the number of people who seem to really like it. Maybe its because it looks like their Zune once you get by the home screen. I don't know. All I know is that to me, its horrible and not something I'd be proud to show off.
Now I can't completely defend Android either. Android's interface is bland yet customizable but even with customization can look like a kludge. Its interface is choppy and lacks the glitz and butter feel of an iPhone. But yet Android is a solid phone with great potential. I think once Gingerbread comes out along with the Google Music service, we are going to see Android get more into the multimedia fun. Time will tell....

Well, honestly I can understand
how people would like the look of Windows 7 (even though I don't). It has a simple look that is clean and doesn't confuse the user. There aren't a million things going on on the screen and the options are clean-cut and neat.

All I meant was, any device can be advertised in a certain way, but we will really have to have our hands on the device before we know for sure. I'm not saying that they won't be any good, just think you're jumping the gun a little. And really I don't see how we can know that we'll get steady updates at this point.
