Android surprises and delights me. That must mean it’s better than good enough.

Glad that’s cleared up then.

My philosophy on any OS war has for years been: assuming competing platforms can achieve the same outcome – a printed page, making a phone call, whatever – then given the choice between a platform that merely accomplishes its tasks and one that’s also a delight to use, I’ll opt for the latter.

That’s why I tend to gravitate towards Mac OS and iOS, though I’m perfectly happy on other platforms. (And why, if I didn’t have an iPhone, I’d have a Pre Plus; webOS is charming.)
