To me, the problem isn't with the OS, it is with the hardware. Android phone/tablet manufacturers had the chance to create a truely open ecosystem but instead they have opted to copy the Apple method of locking down everything.
- return0 14y agoWith google controlling the app store, it wasn't like they had much of a choice.
