Why I Don't Like Android

Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure that Android is an excellent OS for mobile devices.  And I have to admit that I have never actually used an Android device so everything I'm saying here is based on reviews and comments of other readers of said reviews. 

The reason I switched to a Mac is because I was tired of wading through all the crap that was out there for PCs.  Sure, the PC has everything need and could ever want - and for free - but often, you have to wade through piles of shit to find it.   If you ever got lazy and accidentally installed a POS app, you had to do all kinds of cleaning to get it off your computer and pray that you got all of it (well, I had to pray because I don't know how to do clean things like the registry).  I didn't mind playing with my computer in this way so it wasn't a big deal but when I found that my time was needed elsewhere, like in the baby room to change diapers, I couldn't sit in front of my computer for hours.  And when I had to, I began to hate it.  And this brings us to Android.  The concept is a lot like my old Windows machine: super-customizable and apps are readily available from a variety of sources.  There are some awesome apps out there but there are a whole lot of not-so-awesome apps too.  I don't want to screw up my phone with some POS app and I don't want to bother figuring out which ones are good and which ones are bad.   So the thing that makes Android so great is the very thing that it's not for me. 

Winner!

So last week I did the impossible.  Against all odds, I got what you all want.  I won an iPad.  I was randomly selected with no effort on my part whatsoever.  Okay, that's a bit of a lie - I had to sign up for the contest and go to the mall to check if I won.  Well I did, suckas.  And you know what?  I LOVE IT.  The iPad does everything I want it to do.  Sure, it doesn't do everything, but for what I expect to use it for, it does the job perfectly.  If you don't agree, you go sit on the toilet with your laptop.
