Windows Mobile vs Android


Most of us have a smartphone and that too with common Android software.  So, most of us think that Android is much better than Windows mobile. But here when you compare both the platforms, the results might be different.

First thing is multitasking feature. Windows OS is better than android to deal with multitasking. It’s actually designed to do so. Many criticize WM that it has got no close button for any app. When you exit the app, it stills runs in your background. But Android also has the same problem.

After you exit the app in android, it still runs in background. You need to go to task manager to close all of them. There usually you find around 10-15 apps running simultaneously, whereas WM has got only two to three of them working. This is one area where WM is better than Android.

Other advantage of WM is that it allows you to place the installed program either in phone memory or external SD card. This results in memory space management. But in Android we do not have any such feature of where you want to keep your installed programs. It automatically puts them  in SD card even though we have less space in SD and more space in phone memory and vice versa.

Another advantage is of computer desktop integration (or) pc suite. In WM pc suite, you have the option of syncing the contacts, messages and emails (outlook) to your pc. You find no such option in Android pc suite.

These are only few areas where WM is better compared to Android. There might be more of them. But Android is surely better in terms of app market etc. This blog is for making people aware that having a window mobile is not that bad as compared to android OS. But now as WM OS is kind of outdated, all companies are using android. I hope they would bring in new features which android lacked as compared with WM operating system.
