Wha? When did Android take over "the entire mobile developer world"?

I suppose that is one way to comply with the law.

What do you buy if you just want a good tablet experience? Most people don't want an iPad or Android experience.

That's east, they ask the OS to do something that only a rooted phone can do, like running a process that requires root privileges.

The Aandroid phone manufacturers were all cell phone manufacturers. Going to Android wasn't that much of a jump, they just changed the vendor of the OS. None of them have ever built a tablet before, or probable even dreamt of a tablet. They don't have any starting point so don't know what goes into making a good tablet.

Also, Android was good enough for a phone, but good enough doesn't scale.

Anyone who has watch "Royal Pains" knows this.

Where can I get a prescription to the drugs that you are taking? When Apple went from the 68K to the PPC, they supported 68K apps via a 68K emulator. When they transition to Intel, they supported (an still support) PPC via Rosetta.

Now, if you would have said that they don't feel a need to be held hostage to backward compatibility (in that the Intel Macs don't support 68K emulation), that would be correct. Plenty of time is given to allow people to transition away from reliability on older systems. After all, IMNSHO, Windows would be a far better OS if they didn't maintain compatibility with poorly written DOS and Windows 3.x applications.

Because it costs money to provide the education, even with state support.

You are asking a bigot to think. Now stop that!

I see your assumption, but the Xoom has had quality issues (mostly thanks to Google), so I would not consider them to be equivalent. It may very well be that Google does not understand the "real public need." The 16:9 aspect ratio of the screen makes it too difficult for me to use. While it may be good for reading, the text is just too darn small for me.

Could you explain your logic here? If seems as if you are saying "if a == b then c == d"
