The secret to good open source software, developers say, is fast iteration. Android, in this sense has been a very good project, reaching 2.1 almost within 2 years of it’s public launch. The issue is that phone manufacturers and carriers haven’t kept up and over the air (OTA) updates seem to be a thing of fairy tales. They’re working on a solution but it won’t do much for those stuck with stale versions on otherwise new phones.
What I Hate About Android
A Constant Critique
Ok, Here's the Dirt
I've run Android since release. Owned an original Droid. I hate this platform and every device independent pixel of its implementation. It has potential though. Potential to grow into something better, something less ugly, and perhaps something borderline usable. I want to help, by criticizing every aspect of it.
Each post is a specific gripe with links to bug reports and user comments if applicable. I might even throw in a screenshot or mockup from time to time.

That's my email. Use it to comment, correct, argue, agree, drop tips, suggest particularly horrid apps, or even show me an example of a really great android app (unlikely).
