Another thought, I wonder if Google initially anticipated the amount of makeover work that OEMs would put into Android.
Does anyone know how hard/easy the current presentation layer makes customisation? If they released a more easily & deeply skinnable version of their UI, do you think it would be possible for Google to steer manufacturers towards making less sweeping customizations, leading to a more standard (although still distinct) UI/UX?
- wvenable 16y agoI suspect that, not only did they anticipate it, they fully expected it. HTC's Sense UI started on Windows Mobile before HTC ever sold an Android device. Google's customers for Android aren't you or I, they are the device manufacturers and carriers and a customizable user experience is a big selling point for a company like HTC.
