		<description><![CDATA[This was actually a comment to a Robert Scoble Buzz thread discussing pros and cons of Androids and iPhones. The comment got way too long and well, it looked like it fits being a blog entry. ======================== My perspective on using the Android isn&#8217;t really so much of a comparison, mainly because I&#8217;ve never actually [...]]]></description>
