God–Phone Descends!

All hail the new God of all phones, including, yes, including the now dated iPhone. Google was already the God of search engines, it now has transcended into mobile operating systems. Google-God has now taken the competition to various fruity vendors of over-priced, malfunctioning, computing hardware.


Let us also take this moment to announce the demise of Microsoft’s mobile computing platform – The Windows Mobile. Even the much-awaited Windows Mobile 7 is going to look like road-kill compared to Android 2.1. Windows Mobile is now relegated to the history books. A moment of silence please, guys!





The God-Phone touts a 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen display, a 5MP camera, Android 2.1, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, active noise cancellation, voice-enabled search, 512MB RAM and a 4GB memory card apart from the usual bells and whistles. To top it all, the sweet hardware is from HTC. It is bank-robbery at $529.


The sad part is that this God-phone (Google calls it super phone) will not descend into India, at least not now. I, for one will be eagerly waiting for my rendezvous with God.

I wouldnt count MS out yet. They still have the muscle and the enterprise on their side. Lets see how WM is once it launches in Q1 10.

Well if WM 6.5 is anything to go by, WM 7 is not going to be too much of an improvement.

But then again, Windows 7 is exceptional, so maybe all is not lost yet. I will be only too happy to retract my statement if that happens!

Ah well, I am not hanging anything on 6.5, its almost a service pack to 6.1 (like 7 is to vista) :p
The assumption of course is that 7 will be "different".

Windows 7 is a whole lot better than Vista. On the surface there may not be much, but under the hood the OS is blindingly fast (on the same hardware), far more stable, more eye candy, more customizable and comes with quite a few freebies.

I would say it is even better the Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Aha, but the point is that it IS an improved version of vista, with basically the same kernel tweaked in a better way :)

"Although the look of Windows 7 may seem to be nothing more than some polish applied liberally to the Vista Aero theme, make no mistake: This is a full replacement operating system, and more than just "Vista done right." From driver support to multitouch groundwork for the future, from better battery management to the most easy-to-use interface Microsoft has ever had, Windows 7 is hardly half-baked."
