Skatterbrainz World » Android http://skatterbrainz.com God almighty. If you’re reading this, you might as well jump off a bridge. I typically discuss software technology and business and legal implications of technology and marketing (or the failures thereof). Sound interesting? You need help. Seriously.

Meanwhile one of those scary things happened  today, I actually have the somewhat same opinion about Android and the G1 as Steve Ballmer, and considering that I may have to reconsider my opinion towards the whole Android. Well even a broken clock is right twice a day…

You are stuck with GMail/Google Apps, until someone decides to write an app the will handle the “Standard” email protocols. 
Open as far as carriers go, nope not there either, pretty much gotta go through the same gyrations to jail brake your G1 from tMobile. Then there was the ire over the lack of 3G coverage, I live in Southeast Virginia, and do you know where the closest tMobile 3G coverage is… Freaking Baltimore, but with at&t I have 3G coverage or real good EDGE pretty much everywhere I go, Hampton Roads, DC and Eastern Shore to Philadelphia, and the only place I have coverage problems is the same places I experienced Verizon holes.
I have had my hands on a G1 and it is a POS, and I am not impressed.
The there is the whole tethering thing, and needing to jump through hoops to accomplish, as well as violating tMobile’s TOS..
Its also just funny how every tool out there is jumping up and down about apple not letting Opera on the iPhone. So freaking what, Opera the least used browser next to lynx, Google’s Chrome passed it by in a month. And as I understand it, opera hasn’t submitted it yet.
