    The problem with exponential growth is that it is self-destructive.
    The first problem to manifest this way is our own human population.
    Then comes everything humans have done:
    Increase in global warming - exponential over last 100yrs.
    Extinction of other species
    Increase in Facebook users
    Now this with android.

    Pretty soon we are all going to realise exponents are not something to be proud of!!

      I'm an Android user, a pretty knowledgeable one. Android is good, but but not very user friendly. The UI isn't very intuitive, complete n00b will have hard time to get used to. This is not os for granny or any less technical people.

                      10 billion downloads. 99% of those are UI launcher's themes, wallpapers, task killers and battery saving apps.

                        if you have a great android phone like sgs2 then android wont lag but most other phone will lag in some cases

                        but you cant really compare WP7 to android or IOS because their really isnt much speical about it

There is one OS out there that actually never lags or fails, it's WP7 like it or not, it's the most innovative and stable OS on the market.

Of the 100 odd apps i have the only one that didn't work 100% which was a battery graph. It takes up 2/3 of the screen not 100% obviously because of the resolution change.
