Android
Masterpiece:
I suppose that makes me simple minded then. I chose not to deal with all the myriad of choices that Android offers, honest to god, I understand the premise of it and that it's probably all good and stuff...
but it's simply too much, and in a way that, to me, in the end, feels inconsistent. Apps feel like they're tacked on, without much thought, and that ruins the entire experience for me. Despite you having 2GB of RAM (that's HALF OF WHAT I GOT IN MY PC), your screens still stutter when scrolling too quickly. And the concept of an app drawer, a grid of icons that say absolutely nothing about their content, is just starting to be so ugly in my eyes that I turn away every device I know now. I suppose I am a Microsoft fanboy. I know saying this will probably get me feathered and hushed out of this forum quicker than I can say "open-source", but.. eh! I don't know what more to say!
Please DO prove me wrong, because at this moment, I really don't see it. I don't see Android as what it is.
Method of Madness:
How is an icon that says absolutely nothing about content any different than a desktop icon that says absolutely nothing about content?
Method of Madness:
Here's my phone. It has icons on the main screen that I use often, and a button that brings me to a simple scrollable list for all the other programs that are on there. I'm honestly not sure what your complaint about the icons is.
Masterpiece:
This is a crop from apps I use on my start screen. If you want the full screen I'm glad to share it with you.
The news app on the top is showing me the headlines about the Boston bombings.
The mail app is showing me a summary of the mail I sent myself, so it would show up.
The calendar app is showing my next appointment.
The weather app is showing the actual weather.
The photos app is showing a slide show of the pictures in my picture library (and for some reason, found one of Angela Merkel)
And the desktop icon is showing my desktop background.
Masterpiece:
I really don't want to turn this into a This VS that thread, but I want to understand and I don't.
