Plus you can still create specific play lists. I have nearly 28000 tracks and definitely could not cope without playlists.

I'd say sync is absolutely essential. Sure, techies like those of this forum would probably be comfortable with it, but tbh I'd get so bored of it I'd probably end up writing a batch file or something. Oh wait...

And most "normal" users simply wouldn't be able to do it.

I would have to agree. All my friends are windows users and struggle.

My phone is just "plug and play", I can use Windows Explorer to copy files across (which IMO is infinitely superior to having to use a specialised program). I'd never want to clap eyes on a sync program unless I was trying to sync calendars with Outlook or something.

Most of the people I know wouldn't even know where to find Windows Explorer, let alone find their music collection and copy it across to a 'phone. on the other hand, having everything in iTunes and simply hitting the sync button is something they can just about manage to do.

And that's the whole raison d'etre for Apple products.

I much prefer Windows Explorer. I know where it is and have done for 15yrs. But I'm a dying breed amongst consumers.

Re: Android

New Droid2 launched this week and there is going to be a special edition, Startrack or something

Anyway, I am sure it means something to some of you:

That is what I though as well, until I saw this:

I knew that Android is going to be popular but not at this rate of growth :shock:

Those are same waves that Google's making...

Re: Android

What's the state of Android handsets at the moment? I'm looking into an Android handset for someone, is there anything I should be looking at other than the Milestone, Legend and Desire?

EDIT: Just came across the Samsung Galaxy S, WOW! :shock:

Yeah, I've seen the advert for the Galaxy, it looks good. I still say the Desire is great though.

Re: Android

Google released the 2.2 operating system in June, as of now, the only handset which has 2.2 is the Nexus One, even 'phones which aren't due for release until October are being slated for release with 2.1!

It is one of the reasons I don't really like Android as a platform, yet...

Yep I have had a galaxy S and it's great, only complaints are the smooth back gets a little slippy, GPS could be better OTB (but can be tweaked) and battery life isn't great (as with any smartphone) so nothing that specific, only specific thing is the lock button is in an awkward place (and also the power button etc)
