Android SUCKS because:

[rippedcb]

What is this thread about, next you'll be posting on another Linux forum complaining about the people complaining why Linux is not like windows

I usually send them to this page http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm

As far as I know;
1) Android is not completely open source

Android is an open-source software stack for mobile devices, and a corresponding open-source project led by Google. We created Android in response to our own experiences launching mobile apps. We wanted to make sure that there was no central point of failure, so that no industry player can restrict or control the innovations of any other. That's why we created Android, and made its source code open.

2) Apple opened up the smart phone market for the stupid

Agreed, but not totally.. they created a product, a very good product and they helped advancing the smart phone market.

3) Most of the public is stupid, so we should have a big thread for them 'Why Android is not an iphone'

I disagree.. i think most people are intelligent enough to figure stuff out, but Android advanced so fast and so big, i think most people got into it without actually knowing with it actually is

4) Yes I don't like apple or windows and when I started using Linux I never ever asked why doesn't it do this like windows, only how do I make it work or away like it

Thats exactly the mentality you HAVE to have to be able to succeed with linux.

The reason why I bought an Android phone in the first place was that I bought my parents one and when I keep getting asked 'whys this not working or its not doing this' made me decide I need more time with Android to find a solution

Well.. then you made a mistake by buying an android for your parents.. no? especially considering you are an experienced linux user, you shoulda known better no? lol

I guess my biggest issue (not even an issue.. just kinda bugs me i guess) is when ppl get involved in something without doing any research and not knowing what they are getting into and then complain because its not what "they thought it was going to be".

Piterski.. exactly, i wouldn't buy a android for my gf either, heck.. i know her limitations and i wouldn't even put a fully stable linux system on her laptop.. i guess its a trade off..i don't get calls every night trying to help her figure out linux work-arounds, but on the other hand, i do spend alot of time cleaning her system up, removing viruses, trogens, spyware... blah blah blah..

Love the naughty puppy analogy

I don't deny it, I wish I got the iphone instead of the LG Viewly or maybe I should of went windows

I'll meet you halfway but most don't have any common sense, atleast it seems that way by the ones I come across

Thats exactly the mentality you HAVE to have to be able to succeed with linux.

Well Linux is good I just can't use apple computers and windows, well I have to hide the hammer when I need to use it

Well.. then you made a mistake by buying an android for your parents.. no? especially considering you are an experienced linux user, you shoulda known better no? lol

It could of been another iphone but I wasn't going to pay the price. It was on 1.5 when I bought it now I've got it onto 2.1 and over all apart from a hardware fail its been better behaved than the iphone which I have to always solute out and I'm keeping to my excuse for the reason to buy my Galaxy S

LOL.... girls aren't that stupid. I know quite a few of them who uses android as efficiently as we do. Besides, SGS's custom UI made it even simpler to use an android.
