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. :-)

    Why should somebody buy an *Android tablet* instead of an iPad →

    Harry McCracken:

    It’s been fifteen months since the first iPad shipped. Nearly every sizable company that makes anything that looks even sort of like a computer or a phone has rushed into the market that Apple created…. And yet no Apple competitor has started selling anything that clearly answers a fundamental question: “Why should somebody buy this instead of an iPad?” …. I’ve been trying to figure out how an Apple rival can come up with a tablet that pretty much answers that question for itself. And I’ve come up with thirteen ways it could happen.

    Interesting and comprehensive analysis. Although it talks about more than Android, I think I need to replace “non-iPad tablet” with “Android tablet” here to go with the theme of this blog. It applies.

    If you are interested in buying an Android tablet, make sure it can answer at least one of these 13 questions, except 12.
