They did that and it didn't work. They partnered with Nokia, the largest phone manufacturer at the time and effectively destroyed their sales. They paid developers to build apps, but that didn't work because they only did the bare minimum to get paid. They don't get to control what phones the...

What functionality is Android missing? Android is by far the most capable mobile OS ever. This is a rediculous statement!

The Samsung is actually using a folding screen. No seam. Andromeda is dead. Microsoft won't bother launching it next to a real folding screen.

If you want a tablet, you get an iPad. If you want a laptop, then you get a Surface Go or any one of the other numerous laptop choices out there.

Inking isn't good on any of them. You have to force yourself to use it. There is a reason it isn't a popular feature.

It hasn't received an actual OS update in quite a while. "Security" updates are pointless for a platform that will never be targeted. Even the browser hasn't been updated in a long time and never will again. That isn't support in my book. Every Android phone gets much better support through...

Most of the streaming services allow you to pin music to your phone for the increasingly rare times you don't have data. Saving and moving actual music files is antiquated.

Upload your music to Amazon or Google Play and subscribe to a streaming service. Don't worry about saving music locally ever again. No need for that hassle in 2018.

Any high end phone today needs these things. If Andromeda is missing either, it will be a tough sale compared to the iPhones and Galaxy devices they do have them.

Sounds like a world where there is no reason to use anything but a Chromebook.

It will not be a PC. It is not supposed to have legacy Windows support at least at launch. A later update may bring some legacy components back. Not to mention, dual 6" screens with no keyboard won't replace a laptop.

This is like asking if I should get a MacBook Pro now or wait and see the new iPhone. They are two totally different things. If you need a laptop, get the SB2 (or SB1 if you can find a deal). If you need a crappy phone that can turn into a small crappy tablet, wait for Andromeda.

if you go for iOS, you may as well get a Mac too since they integrate so well. Apple services are also much better integrated so you should use them too if you want the full benefit of their ecosystem.

Is it a coincidence? Windows 8 was certainly hated because of the UI. I think the chances of this product having Live Tiles is very low. Microsofts has made no improvements to them in years, Paul Thurrot has commented that it won't look like Windows Phone and Nadella himself said it won't look...

Looking at sales, they definitely shouldn't have Live Tiles in future products. Sales of products that have Live Tiles front and center have always been terrible.
