I just plain didn't like the application :-). I couldn't find a reason to use it and everyone else I knew who was on it didn't seem to know what to do with it either. Google Wave seemed to fix a problem that few people seemed to have.
There use to be a time when FLOSS software was an alternative in both name and quality. That is not really the case anymore. The case for using Apple software of Microsoft Windows for something is so slim it tends to sound like the techno lust (sooo shiny ...) or the machinations of a mad man (I HAVE TO HAVE IE!!!!!). The same thing goes for phones. Yes, there was a time that the iPhone was revolutionary. It was like the Danger Sidekick but better. Sure, it wasn't for the 'business' user but that was OK. Flash forward a few years and the Android phones have not only become very popular but have overtaken a lot of the market. It can be used for fun and for business without many of the limitations the iPhone has had. A few weeks ago I watched as a soccer mom was singing the praises of her new android based phone to a friend and recommending it over the iPhone.
I just got my HTC EVO ... it is my first Android phone and I am enjoying showing it to iPhone users and seeing the resulting shock.
