Let me get this straight; I’m paying around $85/month taxes in. I’ve gotten the hottest phone on the network twice, only to find it nearly useless at the end of year one. And to add insult to injury, T-Mobile wants more from me to upgrade to a Nexus One than they do from a walk-in customer — and my contract expired 8 months ago.
Meanwhile, the iPod Touch I’m using was bought on the very same day as the G1 — right next door, in fact. There is little — if anything — in the current AppStore that iPod Touch won’t do.
It doesn’t take a Stanford grad to figure out that Android is already the most backwards incompatible and fragmented “open” OS in history, or why it’s only really popular with mobile carriers — rather than mobile customers.
To put it simply; Fail.
I tweeted something very similar yesterday. Glad to see I’m not the only one starting to see this as a problem for the robot OS crowd.
