great points. I've been a big fan and advocate of android for some time. But I've have been disappointed and still am disappointed by how much hardware is necessary to run even basic tasks like getting onto the Internet and reading a static page, how even scrolling through the basic launcher interface stutters, even on the new nexus 7, how switching between apps can take so much time.

it seems that Android as a solution to the problem of a mobile phone is overshooting a big chunk of the market. in that sense I think FxOS is in a good position to disrupt the mobile space.

now how can I get my hands on a phone??

Seriously the only people who think Android is great for low end devices are those that have never used it. I've built a number of apps that needed to support those devices and it was a nightmare. And it's not just pure specs everyone involved thinks of the people using them as cheap and therefore less deserving of a polished experience.

Breaking free from all of that and getting back to simple, well executed basics is the way to go IMHO.
