1. ➶ Why I went back to the iPhone from the HTC Desire

    Fascinating piece on the current-favourite Android hardware. With that in mind, this observation makes an absolute joke out of the cheap jabs Google made at the absent-until-4.0 iPhone background tasking in today’s Android keynote:

    Sense UI is the custom Android UI system that HTC ships with the Desire.
