Do Androids Dream of Electric Donuts? #android #smartphone #tech
Our Friends over at Giz’ have a nice piece on the latest incarnation of Android smartphone OS (as opposed to the Android fictional netbook OS).
What leaps at out me is that all the “gee whiz” features are things that the iPhone has had since 3.0 if not earlier. I’m at a loss to understand the excitement over Android. It’s not ground breaking. It doesn’t have the ease of use of iPhone OS X and it seems that all it’s hopeful of doing is replacing the truly hideous WinMob garbage from our friends in the inspiration and innovation starved North West.
It’s kind of the Linux of smartphone operating systems. Everybody’s talking about it but nobody is really using it. Like the Zune, I’ve still yet to see one being used on the street (maybe I just don’t get out enough).
So whether it’s a Donut or a Cupcake, I still ain’t buying it.
