Not really. My point is that Google has never had any design vision with android and simply responds to the movements of the other big names in the phone business with their "me too" offering. It's hard to deny this fact. It's also interesting how the same exact sentiment elsewhere in this thread gets upvoted.

You probably got down-voted because you didn't offer any examples. You could swap Apple for Google in your sentence and it would carry just as much weight.

No it wouldn't, what a ridiculous thing to say. The iPhone came out of nowhere and was a revelation, Android was a hastily (very well) assembled clone.

Were you not around when they came out?

[hueving]

Yes, I was there when apple stole the idea of a touch screen phone from Nokia and Palm, what's your point?

[actsasbuffoon]

I don't want to get involved in this flame war, but Apple began development of the Newton (a mobile device with a touch screen) in 1987. Palm wasn't even founded until 1992.

You still haven't offered any examples.

I was replying TO THE EXAMPLE. What is wrong with some of you people?
