No. I didn't say there was. The categories there are too general to be meaningful and useful. Beer Can Racer, for example, is in Travel. Do you really think that's meaningful and useful? I gave you a more specific, meaningful and useful category. "No good deed goes unpunished." -- John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups." [Wethern�s Law of Suspended Judgement]

Works fine here, thanks to the HTC Sense UI. (Should have included that in my list.) >What about podcasts? Listen (Google) is excellent, and notwithstanding some relatively minor issues, better than anything I've seen for iPhone. >How do >I sync podcasts back and forth that I've listen to from the phone? >Can I start listening to a podcast on my computer and the Android >phone automatically resume where I left off?

"If the only tool you have is a hammer [iTunes], you will see every problem as a nail." I just use the phone for podcasts, thus no need to sync. If I wanted to be in sync, I could use Google Reader, which beats any one computer because it's automatic and in the cloud. >Can I have songs I bought on my phone >automatically sync to my computer and vice versa? Sure. Sync Toy is quite good. >Even backing up your phone is multi-step and incomplete process when >you get ready to upgrade the OS. No such problem when I upgraded from Android 1.5 to 1.6. MyBackup actually makes backup a snap (should have included that too), plus my Google data is in the cloud, and thus readily available to any connected device. Perhaps you think Android is behind iPhone because you don't know the best of Android. ;) -- John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups." [Wethern�s Law of Suspended Judgement]
