Mobile project device selection

After yesterdays careful comparison of the top 5 Android devices currently on offer in Australia we have decided to eliminate the HTC Desire and Motorola Defy based on screen size, while the HTC Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy S were eliminated based on price. This left us with the unlikely favourite of Sony's Xperia X10, which up until late last year coped some negative press due to delays in firmware updates.

While the press may have contributed to the more competitive price, when purchasing 10 devices it quickly stacks up as a saving of over $2000 compared to the next favourite, the Galaxy S. The X10 also had a clear advantage over the other devices in screen real-estate as well with a slightly higher resolution display than the more expensive Desire HD and Galaxy S. When an additional 54 pixels could mean an extra answer in a quiz, this weighed heavily in it's favour. Now all that's left is securing the devices.
