It's getting harder and harder to not give up your privacy in order to use new technology. Android without all that Google goodness is a hard sell to an average customer today.
- yuhong 12y agoDoes an average consumer have good reason to not use them though?
- mike_hearn 12y agoProbably not. The article does admit this in fairness. It says the primary reasons you might want to do this are not trusting Google (but most people have had pretty reasonable experiences with them, especially considering the price), concern over a future management change (a very real concern but one that's very distant and hard to anticipate at the moment), and concern over governments and criminal enterprises. Governments, it seems, take what they want anyway regardless of whether you use Google or not.
