It's an absolute disgrace that Google/Droid/Samsung/HTC can't solve problems like
WiFi roaming in 2012.
I know Android is the poorman's iPhone but still, the pointing to the hardware by the software guys and visa versa is a major blast from the past. ICS shows little to no improvement for the hand full of devices it is available for [do _not_ get me started on the pathetic availability of ICS for droid devices!].
I will not even mention the 'support' for VPN.
Nor the malware-ized software.
Nor the pathetic 'choice' END USERS are required to judge and agree to about access to resources when installing software.
I have emerged myself in the Android world, putting all my iDevices in a locked box since 3 months and replace them with Samsung [tablets] and HTC [phones], and as much as I like the larger displays, the freedom to tinker, the whole experience has shown me one thing: Android with it's fragmented [per hardware manufacturer, per device] support and the silly fail to solve rudimentary issues like WiFi roaming [do not get me started on application availability across devices!], is just too olt skool to expose but the choice-less consumers to.
Within a couple of weeks I have hold up to my promise to my employer [a rather large telecom company] to at least give Android a shot, but I will celebrate the day my devices will 'just work' and I can focus on work rather then geting the infrastructure to cater for broken consumer devices. It has been a good experience, but only to fortify my expectations that Android with it's manufacturer driven 'support' and 'upgrades' is just not ready for business.I've tried the
