So concludes James Kendrick in a WinMo match-up with Android. Android Phone Fans takes note:

• Multi-tasking. Windows came away with a “Big advantage” because of Android’s inability to run apps from SD Card.
• Available Apps. WIndows gets the advantage for a larger catalog of robust applications.
• User Interface. Windows Mobile wins because 3rd party apps are better looking.
• Desktop syncing/integration. Depends on if you prefer Outlook or Google.

Fans concludes:

So when it comes to Multi-Tasking, App Availability and UI, Kendrick thinks Windows Mobile clearly defeats Android and if you are an Outlook user the platform picks up 4 out of 4 victories against the mighty bot.

Clickthrough for the details. It’s clear that Verizon’s Droids broke open the dam. The mobile platform now sizzles.

Me, I passed on the HTC Droid Eris (it was darned close but a slower chip, lower res screen, & no GPU made it worth waiting). I broke down and bought another iPhone for the family. Our next contract is up in April; mine in August. By then I’m thinking it’s unlikely I’ll be buying a fourth iPhone.
