<i>&gt; The greatest irony is how many walked into this with open arms, and how many continue to praise this.</i><p>Show me an alternative that allows me the same level of Just Works as an iPhone. Because Android ain&#x27;t it. I don&#x27;t need a reason to spend hours every week <i>having to</i> tweak, poke at, marshal and police the various apps on my phone to make sure normal behavior isn&#x27;t messing something up. I put up with that for 4 years and never felt like I had a digital partner in my pocket. It was always a consciously present &quot;thing&quot; I had to be wary of eating a battery, crashing a workflow, failing to connect to something or transfer something or save something.<p>I love the linux &quot;always be tinkering&quot; idea but I don&#x27;t need that to be something I spend part of my decision points on each day.<p>So if Google tightens up implementations of Android to a point where I can trust a device to get out of my way like I can this most recent iPhone, I&#x27;m all for giving it another go. But my money&#x27;s not on that at the moment.
