• Paul Thurrott endorses Android platform “for the Windows guy”

    Posted on April 1, 2016 at 14:33 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    I, too, have a Nexus 6P, and I’ve been using Google Fi. It’s a very nice combination.

    Paul’s discovered yet another reason to go with Android over iOS – the upcoming treatment of Notifications in the Win10 Action Center. Apparently Win10 can be set up to show your Android phone notifications in the Action Center, and any notifications you dismiss on your phone will, in turn, be dismissed from Win10. I’m hearing that things will work the other way, too – dismissing on Win10 will also dismiss on the phone – but that brings up the immediate question of whether Win10 notifications will appear on attached phones. I certainly hope not.

    Time will tell if the implementation will be as slick as described, but the idea that I can see my phone’s notifications in the Win10 Action Center is a compelling feature.

    ‘Course my wife still likes her iPhone. Hard to argue with that.
