-----Original Message----- From: discuss-bounces-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org [mailto:discuss-bounces-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Doug Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2010 4:57 PM To: discuss-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org Subject: Re: Some Android questions Hello Anthony: I am far more bothered by the "Apps Store" way of delivering software that must be approved. They are making sure there store is "clean", removing R rated apps. It is not a platform I think I can tinker with since somewhere I need to get approval from Apple. Maybe that process is not that difficult, but I would go bonkers waiting even a day to get software I wrote on a device I own. Doug Hi Doug, That really wasn't what I was referring to; I think the iTunes type store is pretty cool and a good idea. My gripes are a bit more fundamental. I think the kernel (the core of the OS) needs to be thought out, understood, and prepared for future problems - kernels are much to complicated to expect anything less. I don't think Google is ready for that; and I won't even considering one until there are. I think they have developed a really nice one off device, but they haven't seemed to follow any of the structure needed for software that is going to get the face time its going to get. Anthony
