>Also, I personally don't think Android is that amazing. Maybe it's okay for
a smaller device like a phone.
I'm also not very fond of Android... And a lot of phones now have enough
power to run something better. I recently got a Galaxy Note II, which I think
is actually more powerful than my T61 Thinkpad... Android seems to have a lot
of silly bugs, and as it's something used is most portable devices now (I
believe it's now the most popular platform for portable devices) it really is
quite poor. I've had my phone restart itself, I have no idea why. It has also
once kept turning the screen on every minute until I restarted the phone...
Free distributions like Trisquel that don't have the huge financial backing
that something like Android has, perform much better.
People have already gotten major distributions running on their Android
phones though.
There probably are many benefits to the free software community though with
so many companies now using Android. There are probably a lot of new bits of
code coming back into the Free software ecosystem.... But there are obvious
problems.
