Stock Android Isn't Perfect: Things I Can't Stand About Jelly Bean
Every time I pick up an Android based phone it's always the same miserable first five minutes.<p>"Where are the apps? Is... Oh. Are these all of the apps or some of the apps? Where are <i>all</i> of the apps?  Do I hit a button? Oh.. Oh, there's a browser. But why is it where it... do I drag this or something?"<p>"How do I stop making it putting squares on the faces in the pictures? Why would you do this? Is it in the Settings? Where is the settings? Is there one settings app? Is it in a menu? Do I tap something? Is it one of these hardware butto-OH where am I now?"<p>"How do I get this keyboard to go away? It shouldn't be up anymore. I hit enter. Didn't I? What the hell is this key with the arrow? Wait, is this "dismiss?" No.. do I touch the screen? Gotdamnit don't hit that I didn't want to hit that."<p>Even on a Galaxy S3 last week, it was the same experience. There's too much Old World UI in Android for my tastes.
