That is quite the wall of text, but nothing new at all.

If you want simplicity, go iPhone.
If you want customization, go Android

I used the built in summarize feature for OSX and cranked it down to 1% and this is what I got :

Android: choice, open, lower cost, removable battery, keyboard if you want it, runs everything on the web (i.e., no platform racism), excellent Google integration, multiple carriers, tethering (now with hacking, soon w/OS upgrade), build apps using whatever language you prefer, USB I/O, expandable storage. iPhone: Reverse all of the above.


If anyone wants a longer summary I suppose I could make one but I really don't see the point.

It's one of the built in "services":
Get to the Point: OS X’s Summarize Service

If you are running Snow Leopard here's an a good introduction to how services work in the latest OS (however you'll find services in just about ever version of OSX):
Services step out in Snow Leopard | Mac OS X | Macworld


Oh and sorry if I am little off topic. If anyone wants more info about services I suggest googling around or going to a Mac forum.

Thanks for the link, I like his use of Buzz. Especially for bloggers as they can just add it as a comment section for their blogs.
