Hello,


Just wondering what other's peoples take were on the "better of the two." having played with the focus for a few days, and the iOS since it's birth there are def. many pros and cons for each. I like the maturity of iOS but wp7 sure is amazing with the beautiful UI.
 
HMMM Iphone is by far the best choice with multitasking and atleast it has html 5 support and copy and paste. While windows phone 7 seems too green @ launch maybe in a year we can really compared whos better.

Yes I agree but there is rumor that multitasking, copy, paste will be coming in janurary. I would only assume html5 would come with an update like that.
 
Too many assumptions. One can't leave on assumptions. Do realize that iOS has had copy and paste for two years now. Microsoft should have gotten the clue a long time ago. The complaint about lack of copy and paste was long submitted on March 2010 during the first announcement of Windows Phone 7 when there were many criticisms about it.

Multitasking isn't something you're not going to fix with a patch. You have to dig deep into the OS kernel for that.
 
well, further reading suggests that there will be no "true multitasking" but the apps that would benefit from it (like pandora) would be allowed that option. I also read that there is a beta build with copy/paste included.
 
Not exactly. They merely adjusted the permissions that a program like Pandora can now audio stream behind the lockscreen. Previous to that, when the lockscreen comes on, it just stops. So they amended it---the developer has to do code it to the app---so it can now stream behind the lockscreen. But only the lockscreen. But not behind another program. If another app starts after the Pandora like app, the Pandora like app quits.
 
The Focus is a capable phone, but yes, WP7 is limited right now -- you'll know it the moment you try to switch away from Slacker radio and the music stops. If you can live with single tasks (except for music, of course) and the other current features, you're set.

But it's always a gamble to buy a device based on what you hope will happen, because there's a very real chance it won't happen soon enough. The iPhone 4 does whole lot more than the Focus, right now. And unlike the way it was with the iPhone in 2007, you're not getting a fundamental improvement in interface to make up for the feature gap!
