Gripes about UI/UX of Android phones/tablets and so called "openness" that is nonsense to consumers.

If you also have an Android phone, you are welcome to email me your gripes as well. If you don't but you want to buy one, read this blog before you do it. :-)

    I’m talking about what Android is right now

    Nate sent me this message to show me that Android apps could be as good as their iOS counterparts. He didn’t think I would publish it:

    Developers are trying~

    The Speedtest.net application for Android was updated to look exactly like it’s iOS counterpart:

    https://market.android.com/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest&feature=search_result

    Apparently it is easily possible for Android apps to look just as good as iOS, however it is up to the developers to assist with this. I doubt you will even bother post such good news on your blog, because of course you want more so for Android to seem pitiful.

    Thanks for the comments and I do want to put this good news on the blog. :)

    I never disagreed that Android is improving and “developers are trying”. I never disagreed that Android apps could possibly be as good as iOS apps either, even though they take much longer and much more effort to achieve that. I’m talking about what Android is right now. It is pretty clear is that Android does not deliver the best user experience. This may or may not change in the future, which I don’t know. 

    From the consumers’ point of view, they either buy Android and help it grow (in hopes it will improve), or choose the best products on the market right now. It’s a pretty easy call I think.
