I take the points, but with a caveat. The overriding issue here is one of signal to noise and it isn't a simple proble to fix with the pervading attitude exhibited in this thread overall. It'd be interesting to know exactly how much demand there was from Android users. We see stories that are similar to this reasonably often. The trouble is that the discussions are way too emotive. Reasons put forward are generally dismissed as "FUD" or "fanboys", with emotional response always seeming to block rational discussion. Until we get pas this, we won't get beyond where we are.
