Dave, this post was in response to many other articles that have framed iOS vs Android as the 2 dominant smartphone platforms and made a parallel comparison to the Mac/Windows discussions of old.

I do like Windows Phone 7 a lot. I think the UI is fantastic. I do not think that its current app situation is fantastic, and it is starting with a serious deficit versus competitors. I will not dismiss it at all, but think to discuss it in the frame of this article would be distracting.

I have previously discussed Blackberry as well, but think they have a lot of work to do to be compared vs Android and iOS right now.

Here's a post that had iOS vs Android vs BlackBerry from May of last year: http://blog.louisgray.com/2010/05/in-todays-world-of-mobile-... where I said those who are centered on email are still in a great place with Blackberry.
