Ballmer Slams Android As Cheap and Overcomplicated

Posted by samzenpus on from the my-kid-is-better-than-your-kid dept.

jfruhlinger writes "On the day Android Ice Cream Sandwich was released, Steve Ballmer livened up the Web 2.0 conference by lobbing potshots at Google's mobile OS, calling it the choice of 'cheap' phones and claiming 'the biggest advantage we have over Android is that you don't need to be a computer scientist to use a Windows Phone.'"

    Android is a copy of iPhone, but not that well done.

    O RLY? So why is it that so many of the "cool new features" in iOS 5 are features that Android has had for quite awhile now?

    Because Google uses a time machine. Each iteration of Android copies, imperfectly, features from future versions of iOS.
