Remembering Windows Phone
I remember owning three of these things, before switching to Android. Pretty cool OS, but lacked all the apps. Moving to Android was quite the change since it had so many apps.

Wait. What?
Given the sheer amount of cars that now support Android Auto, you might be surprised to learn that the in-car software isn’t actually supported everywhere.
