Why does HTC ship phones with a trackball when they look so dinky and outdated? Why does the Droid have a directional pad? These phones have touch screens so what’s with the analogue input? The only reason I can see is that Android doesn’t have a good method for refining text selection. On iPhone a tap and hold brings up a loupe that lets you carefully tailor your selection. On Android you just have to tap again, carefully this time. That or use a trackball.
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).
