Absolutely. I'm really confused as to why they decided to roll their own OS rather than put a customized Android system on it.

- mikeryan 17y agoAFAIK Fusion Garage was originally founded as an OS company prior to their involvement in the crunchpad.
- seiji 17y agoJust because something is available doesn't mean it should be used. Android actually kinda sucks (second post on page): http://laforge.gnumonks.org/weblog/2009/11/04/ http://laforge.gnumonks.org/weblog/2009/11/04/
- warfangle 17y agoGood points, I suppose. Personally, I'd rather have a tablet computer that had an android-like OS on it, instead of just a web browser. Being able to use apps that aren't necessarily suited to a web page would be nice. So would a 3G connection. It's the same price as the iPhone when it first came out, but it does radically less on a larger screen. Maybe if it were $100 it might be worth it - but at this price point it's fairly worthless, IMHO. That, of course, would be different if it had the kind of app capability droid does. As it is, it's overpriced backpack webtv. With a touchscreen.
