After my Pre3 didn't run the last big-name medical app on webOS, LexiComp, I got a Droid3 so I could run Epocrates, Sanford Guide, and LexiComp. It does do those, most of the time, lol!
But I learned rapidly that you have to get used to clicking a lot more to do anything, and the notion of an integrated message/email app is just a funny notion that is meant to irritate you trying to make it use more than 1 account at a time. Same with relying on the calendar apps to really sync with my Google calendar! And try to switch between calls... Not! Also, despite a dual-core CPU, no matter which music app I used, they all stuttered 3 times every minute when the phone checked email or something. And none of the music apps had Music Remix'es Alphabet to tap on to narrow down the scrolling list of artists, etc.
As for apps- yeah there's a lot more. But for medical apps for doctors, there is mostly just a handful of big-name apps and a few other small-name apps that webOS doesn't have. In general, the webOS apps are better quality and usually actually WORK.
After about 2.5 months or so of Android, I got so fed up that I fired up my Pre3 and swapped ph #'s back, and resigned myself to carrying 2 machines again, like in the pre-Centro days. Full circle, but at least I can do most of what I need on my sweet VZW Pre3, and the iOS docs and especially Android docs are jealous of my JustType and Synergy and multitasking cards.
The Droid3? After my next vacation, I am axing the 2nd phone line and just using it via WiFi as a mini-tablet. ICS has promise, but from what I have seen on my TouchPad, is not enough of an improvement to make me want to use it on a phone.
I just hope my Pre3 lasts a few years, until new webOS hardware or ports to other phones comes out!
