[Electronics-talk] Android? Good idea?

[Poppa Bear]

Your right, but in my thoughts, the "effertless" idea is compared to 
androyed. IMO the Iphone is like finding my way around a one bedroom home 
that I have never been in and androyed is like finding my way around a 6 
bedroom 3 story home, one is much less time consuming and less uncertain. 
Don't get me wrong, some people are having great experiences with androyd 
OS, so the difference may be more like JAWS/NVDA/Voice Over.
