The announcement that they were going to strengthen the requirements on vendors to get the Google apps received enthusiastic applause at Google IO. Manufacturers and carriers have shown a desire to "differentiate" their offers even if it means installing crapware that slows down their ability to keep up with platform updates.
I think Google is taking the right steps to keep Android a high quality platform to the benefit of developers and end users.
- joebadmo 15y agoI agree. At some point, openness for vendors/carriers is in tension with openness for users. As a user, I'm happy to see Google clamp down on the vendors/carriers, if it means they're finally taking my side. Hopefully that's what it means. (I'm encouraged to see that ChromeOS hardware will be mandated to be jailbreakable.)
