Because you don't "stare" at a bunch of of little app icons - it you aren't using an app why are you looking at the screen?

Oh, its the old "Apple products are for people two dumb for real computers" bollocks is it?

i don't think Android's success is anything to do with iOS being "too confining" - it succeeds because it is across multiple makers at multiple price points and had the Google branding people know from the search engine. The consumers who are buying it don't give a toss about the things people bitch about on blogs…

@DroidCLHFan: No they don't. They want to sell as many as they can but they will never want be in a position where there is no competition

@MOCKBA:

Absolutely.

Looking back at parallels to Windows, as the Android promoters love to do, this won't happen. There will be a list of differentiation and the ones who will win will be the biggest and/or the ones with the lowest cost base (Samsung).

Surely MLB could use an ad based model - isn't that what all sport is about these days?

Before everybody goes spitting about how they didn't want Apple getting 30%, that is not the reason they won't buy - its because Apple won't give user data to them if users opt out. They feel that this does not give them the feedback they need to tailor content.

The face of EEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVIIILLLLLL

You'll probably find they meant to say "superbly smooth"

Here = Europe, sry, should have said.

HTC phones aren't branded "with Google" here - it's "with HTC sense" in the same font.

Open source is that ideal that Google has abused to get itself in a position of power that it is now going to use.

They win there but they lose when all you can get is tiny variation of the same phones built down to a price because manufacturers can't do anything to differentiate themselves. Its a race to the bottom and while you win on price you lose on quality. Its Windows repeating itself and I suffered 20 years of that shit.…
