All people know, including those in Tajikistan and under a rock that windows always is and will be a cheaper version of mac's. But just like anything of cost, it does not necessarily represent the quality. I have owned WM platform phones for years and I am a loyal Mac user. The iPhone does all it says it does well. And WM systems just don't. It's a basic truth. My question is how hard is it to fuse the fuze to a mac? To have them equally compatible as are iPhone/Mac?</p> I am in awe of how attachted people get to inorganic items and materials.

This was the worst aspect of TF3D in my experience with the Fuze. It's also one that HTC could correct easily. I'm not sure anyone has really nailed "touch" or how long touch will last as an input method. Non touch gestures is the next thing. We see it with the Wii and to some extent we all do it with a mouse. Touching the screen you're looking at has some obvious disadvantages, its messy and obscures the view.</p> "...if I drag sideways on the music app instead of up and down, no way should that activate the tab bar (which is nowhere near where I pressed) and shoot me into different apps."

The key is that Microsoft should have provided a better user experience for WinMo by now, and they haven't focused sufficiently. They can certainly do it when they try. I think WinMo is being pulled in multiple directions. It is powerful and configurable, but not easy to use. Resistive screen and stylus are very big hits in the far east, and are griped about endlessly in the west. Perhaps they need to spit platforms, I'm not sure. I do know this, there is no reason why a touch screen device has to have so many tiny X's to press and menus that aren't finger friendly. with a D-Pad, WinMo standard is more user friendly than S60, and is familiar to most of us.</p> Good answers.
