First, to acrosser, I almost completely agree and thank you for your insights. However, while I agree that Android is completely and utterly awesome ... ahem ... functional :P, I don't mean to directly compare it to the iPhone, but rather say that I fail to see the innovation and standard setting precedent that I usually associate with a Google product. However, I find it hard to fully blame Google and assume they should shovel all the weight and take all the responsibility, because as you mentioned, it is an open source project, and should be largely supported by and worked on by the community. Thus, that's why as a community I think creating a list of improvements we'd like to see implemented, all in one unified place. I am in no way trying to marginalize the achievements and impressiveness of Android as it currently stands.
P.S. - The Magic is HTC's next Android phone, also called the G2, and is soon to be released in Europe. Unfortunately for you, it has no QWERTY keyboard, and is thus only has a soft on screen keyboard. To Jean-Baptiste Queru, first, I want to thank you excessively for your hard work on Android, and improving the utility, and thus the lives, of Android phone owners. Regrettably, the majority of Android users and those in the Android community either don't know how to code at all, or code in the language that the source code for Android is written in (out of curiosity, as I myself don't know, what language is that?). Despite this handicap, I'm sure you'll agree, their ideas and opinions are still valuable and could be useful to the team of Google engineers, and other Android developers who are working on improving the source code. I urge you to not consider the criticism or comments surrounding the Android platform on these discussion boards negatively, but rather see the repetition as a sign that a certain feature or development is a much desired improvement. Again, please consider these forum discussions of improvements and ideas not as people merely complaining about the free service you and your dedicated team provides, but rather the community contributing to the open source project in the only way that they are capable of (as previously stated, many people are code illiterate). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
