Why Google Isn't Pushing Android For Tablets
Brad Linder of Liliputing posted an interesting analysis today about Google's reluctance to endorse Android for tablets. Linder argues that while there may be legitimate concern that Android just isn't polished enough for devices without phone access (because some apps need it), it would be smart for Google to segregate the apps themselves, so users can simply know which apps will work on Wi-Fi-only tablets. But from Google's perspective, he observes, "pushing a version of Android that isn't exclusively for phones could be all it takes for Chrome OS to be dead on arrival."
Chrome OS is essentially a browser with enough support wheels to boot itself - its not a real OS - and NOTHING I would want. Forget it Google - I want a tablet (padd) which runs Android - not your Chrome crap. You might as well stop trying to sabotage that, the sooner the better (especially if you wish to try and hang to your "do no evil" motto)
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
But even if the do 'fix' that, who's going to sell it?
There aren't any carriers that will sell it, because it won't come with a contract so it won't make them any money.
There are two types of people in the world: Those who crave closure
