Coke Robot you have a very jaundiced view of android devices.
Yes they are cheaper and predominately made of plastic, I have both a phone and a tablet,
they do precisely what they were purchased to do extremely well and I do recommend them to others
as the cost of both was <£300. they live in leather wallets and have not failed once in 2 years.
therefore you can add me to those in favour.
I am a W8 fan and have indicated that I will be upgrading and will in all probability buy a MS tablet.
But I will walk around town with a 4.8/5in phone in my pocket (1280x720 is better than a couple of laptops I have)
not a 10in tablet in a carry case.
Work related activities will obviously have different solutions.
To me, that's too huge of a "phone." If going on the road, I'd love me a phone, which its focus is more on easy to consume content and putting human communications as a first class citizen instead of apps. I can use Office on my Windows Phone, but it gets tedious. It's best for the scenario where I have time to kill, and don't have a PC to use. It's also good to use to update an Excel spreadsheet and have the changes sync to a PC. I'd also use a tablet PC, preferably a 10 inch (at least) screen size simply because I want to see more, and do more. I use my devices on how I believe they should be used. A smartphone can be used for some instances where a PC isn't available, but should be used for communication more than anything. A PC should be used for work, play, and whatever your body feels like doing with it.
Gee, some people are saying that Windows 8 is a crazy Frankenstein hybrid of sorts, but look at smartphones, especially android. They're trying to be Desktop-lite UIs smashed with a phone. That's how a zombie apocalypse happens.....
