As stated in the commits in the article the real problem with Android is the carriers (Verizon / AT&T ).

I'm in Europe, hence completely bliss about the vagaries of Verizon.

Yesterday, my youngest and I used a PC to find some study guides for Catcher in the Rye and effortlessly search a PDF of the book for references for a paper. We composed, edited, and spell checked the paper using a computer. Later today, I will install SmartMusic on his PC so that he can practice his viola with a program that tracks his tones and pace. Pretty wonderful, no? Tomorrow, I'll telecommute. I brought home a laptop, but I could have used my PC to securely work from home. None of this has happened by accident. A lot of people and companies have collaborated to create this wonderfulness. There have been bumps, but people who have contributed nothing to this accomplishment really should sincerely appreciate the magic that they can buy for a couple hundred dollars off an internet retailer on their wonderful computer. |

Actually, I saw Perlow's earlier post this week but thought it would too inflamatory to reference, but all things considered, here:

too much vitriol for too little cosmetic changes
I'm not an evangelist, though. I live by "live and let die". Pick your poison and get off my lawn. |
