"Android" is a brand. Phones of this brand fail more often. Why is that a meaningless statement?

- ConstantineXVI 15y agoBecause it's a software brand, not a hardware brand.
- awolf 15y agoIt's a software brand defined by being "open" and thus freely available for shitty hardware producers to use on their shitty products.
- tadfisher 15y agoAnd equally available for quality hardware producers to use on their quality products. iOS and Blackberry OS are available for Apple's and RIM's use only.
- chugger 15y ago@tadfisher, looks like there are way more crappy Android phones out there than high quality ones.
- tadfisher 15y agoAnd this statement, while valid and testable under some definition of "crappy", has nothing to do with comparing hardware quality between manufacturers. This reminds me of the smear campaigns Apple used to wage against beige boxes, nevermind the sheer diversity of hardware running Windows and the homogeneity of Macs.
- chugger 15y agoAndroid is a "platform" brand.
