There are definitely things that Windows does that Android can't, most importantly run programs that were designed for it. Absolutely, but I wouldn’t pay much for it.

It totally devastates all the other psx emulators on the iphone. The reason why i still want windows mobile is that the best playstation emulator is on windows mobile FPSEce.

You're joking aren't you? Do you really think that T-Mobile are working on bringing you features to the G1? All the good stuff comes from HTC or other companies. T-Mobile just stick their branding, and limitations, all over it. Also consider: - Anything decent added by t-mobile, and other operators, are normally merged into the alternately available roms - Nandroid allows you to take a complete backup of you phone, so you can 'go back' - Just flashing an office T-Mobile rom back onto your phone would give their updates back. So, what are you waiting for? Get it hacked! @solid – tmobile updates? You’re joking aren’t you?

I think it would be really cool to boot my dev phone into any version of android I want (maybe other OSes too) so I can test my apps on all versions using a single device. That floors me is that people are not exploring the full potential of these devices. There would be alot more/cooler apps if the developers could gain lower level access to these devices than the android java API. For instance, the people who have hacked android to use debian instead of the regular android kernel have the ability to run native apps like firefox, KDE/gnome, etc. I have even seen people using hacked android kernels to provide wifi tethering, and playing Doom on their phones. Your possibilities are endless once you have complete access from the bootloader up. Unfortunately, alot of developers, like me, are not willing to sacrifice the stability of the Official build in order to test on all these other outrageous configurations. I can tell you though, that there are at least 2 apps that I would have on the market right now for rooted G1s if I had a rooted environment to test in. But I am not willing to blow off the official tmobile updates to get it. @Jonno

Also a camera with a decent shutter would be nice. I also wish that I had a great flash player so I can play fun games such as Fantastic Contraption and Bloody Pingu Smash.

Maybe Symbian, rooted android, android RC29, android rc30, android rc33, android cupcake, maybe some kind of BSD all on a single device. That would rock out. Oh damn now I think I have to change my underwear. a dual boot android device would have almost no appeal unless the second(third, fourth …) os is some kind of Open source Os.

Microsoft has a mobile OS? /end sarcasm Anything windows can do android can probably do better, its just a matter of waiting for someone to make the application. Also, with android being open and customizable, if windows mobile had a really cool feature it will most likely be able to be duplicated for android by either Google or a 3rd party. So no, I've had enough of paying extra for Windows crap. Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of Microsoft. Wait what? Microsoft has a mobile OS?

Depends on price point. It'd be helpful sometimes to have a copy of windows to run things, but if the price isn't there it wouldn't be a huge drawback for me not to have it. I think I might.
