When you talk about the top mobile operating systems on the planet, you aren’t likely to hear Windows Mobile uttered unless its the butt of somebody’s joke. Okay so maybe you are likely to hear it uttered. Some would say that’s for obvious reasons… but James Kendrick from jkOnTheRun took nothing for granted and pitted the two operating systems head to head in a few highly important feature areas. Shall we see how they fared?

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.

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. What say you, Android phans? Have at it (in a civil manner of course… we like those guys)!

What does multi-tasking have to do with running apps from the SD card? Thats about storage…not multi-tasking. He may have a point with the number of apps…but as with the IPhone if it has the ones you need then what difference does an additional 100,000 apps make? I don’t understand what he means by 3rd party apps being better looking. Does he mean better than base WinMo? Thats no comparison to Android and if he means better than the Android apps I’d like to see these. And I prefer Google to Outlook any day of the week. Google is a service. Outlook is an application that stuck on my desktop. I get info from Google wherever I am. I have to go to my desktop to see or sync with Outlook.
