    sorry, forgot: but i think it's like linus said: society is moving to a more relaxed way of living (as far as i remember). this should help is not because of some greedy, super rich people.

    really?? even if you don't jailbreak it? i thought this is the big advantage of an android phone. and the other being: using it as a usb stick, on any (not even authorized itunes) computer and put and document, pdf, photo, mp3, mp4, avi, etc. on it without any conversion?

    oh, i forgot to write that i think that "selling services" only works, if people actually WANT them and not if they are forced to use them because they are industry standard.

    Exactly.
    Apple said we make a new os for a phone, lightwight, battery saving and touch oriented, google said we make something new, lightwight and for slow devices, etc. and finally microsoft says we want to be in the market aswell. but we don't make something new, we use our old base and make it somehow useable on a phone. AND we force our loyal desktop users to use the same s**t."

    Anybody ever enjoyed windows8 updates on telephones? no?? let me explain: downloading update (a few minutes, even over wlan), preparing for update (some minutes), restarting and installing (again a few minutes), restarting and making "after updates cleanups"! argh, i am so glad it wasn't my phone! the best thing was: after the hole proccess there was another update, but then i left the tragedy.
