Sorry, but SF has a load balancing system which just returns localhost (or some private numbers, don't recall anymore). Since I think five years now. Before, we have had correct IP numbers.

Damn. Oh well, then we only have to rely on writing style.

Yeah, you're right, those seem to be written by the same person.

I can't stand android tinsy little icons, just like iOS. WP for me alllll the way.

I like WP/RC/windows 8 metro desktop BECause I love tiles. ICons are SO 18th century! imho anyway. So old fashioned.

Im an artist, and maybe thats JUST how I roll, but I simply very much enjoy the visuals/mechanics of metro UI.

I do own a android phone and I'll use it for development, I don't own a iOS WHO can afford one ? I SO want a wp8 devivce because now its going to accept c++ ;)

Windows phone tablets are also increasing in market share and I think windows 'blue' , if MS does it right will make the OS much more palatable to those on the fence.

Change them into Metro UI Tiles, I doubt that, ones that update as they do on the Windows phone 7 ?

My android phone is utter crappola anyway as its a very cheaply made LG optimus T. I had no idea going in it as that cheap, but that's life, and atm I can't afford to get a better android phone so Im sticking for now with the WP7 unless
Microsoft gives me a reason to change, which atm there is absolutely none. Unless android starts to get a lot better compatibility between devices ( for apps, games, whatever), then why would I even bother .

Before Im even half convinced about Android I'll need to see a lot of changes. Wp7/8 gets it and Metro UI proves it. We'll see where android goes, but for now I'm not impressed much.

I also like very much how metro UI swipes/animates as you go between screens, and Im not looking for a cheap copy cat.

Btw speaking of impressed, where is android for IRR or iphone for that matter ? ( goes to look )

Cheers

A friend of mine is working on a thing called LinuxOnAndroid. It's super laggy unless you're using a really fast phone/tablet, but the idea is pretty awesome.
