Should be titled: "Why my experience with one Android tablet sucks".
While his reasons are sound, I don't think these reasons are entirely encompassing of all Android tablet experiences. I for one have been using Asus Transformer for a while now and I am entirely satisfied with the experience. While I am entirely capable of rooting the device, the thought has never even crossed my mind. Asus has done a great job of actually bundling apps that I use (Polaris Office and MyCloud) and the few other applications that they've bundled are not even noticable.
Perhaps we could talk about standardizaton of connectors, but I think this problem transcends the Android Tablet experiece and even the "Android Experience". It would be nice to have one cable fit all my devices (tablet, phone etc), but alas I don't ever see this happening. I think the problem is less about conformity and more about proprietary hardware design and that's a whole bunch of issues I know nothing about.
I could easily write "Why my ASUS Android Tablet experience is awesome". With freedom comes choices, and Google has left it up to the hardware manufacturer to make the right software choices for their hardware. Asus has made good choices while Samsung has chosen poorly. With freedom comes responsibility..and all that. Shouldn't we be talking about this instead?
- StavrosK 14y agoI will second that. I love that my Transformer Prime has an (almost?) stock ICS experience, I think ICS is beautifully designed and very usable. I'm trying to decide which phone should replace my Desire HD, and I'm leaning towards the SGSIII, but the custom UI is really putting me off. Too bad there's no stock-ish phone in the top contenders, I might have to go with the One X if it's less customized.
