Tease: - Leo Laporte
You forgot PALM webOS!! - Ken Sheppardson
Would you like to share a bath or would you like to bath-a-lone-a - Johnny
Ask for Room 408, they usually speak english - Johnny
What do people use multi-tasking for on Symbian phones - Johnny
Let me think. An example of a real-world use case from a Symbian user: Listening to music (and optionally Scrobbling it) in the background whilst Web browsing, running a Twitter client, using Push IMAP, and using an IRC client. You can't do that on a lousy iPhone, and on Android, you'd have stuttering audio, and your battery would go flat quickly. Not so on the Symbian Platform, if that answers your question. - Tyson Key
Try taking a photo whilst listening to music on an Android device too - you'll get a useless image, and skipping or paused audio, thanks to the fact that the underlying kernel and other subsystems aren't tuned very well. (See http://dw2blog.com/2010... where that's discussed in detail). - Tyson Key
Oh, and you don't have to resort to a load of unsupported, warranty-voiding hacks to use tethering, change the home screen wallpaper or install software from an "unofficial" source. Video recording, MMS, copy-and-paste, and other useful features have been supported for eons, too. - Tyson Key
