Can’t you fix all that bullshit with the open source awesomeness that is Android?

If you tip that Android sideways, does scat flow out of the power jack?

Not impressed with it then?

Maybe you can use it as a photo frame or kindle reader - failing that - sure it will function as a coffee mat

4th ITEM OF FUN
LITTLE TINY SQUARES
You know how when you look REALLY closely at the iPad screen and you can KINDA SORTA see those very tiny little squares? Those are touch screen digitizer markings that make up the film that resides on the backside of the glass. On the iPad, you can kinda sort see them looking at any kind of white space on the screen.

On the Xoom each digitizer square is as large as the state of fucking New Jersey.

ffs.

This isn't an Android issue, but a Xoom problem.

Why is it that manufacturers continue to make the flimsiest power cable connections possible. Do they not fucking read the 986,095 reviews over the past decade that criticize anyone that makes a shitty power cablet connection?

The Xoom connection is so stupid, so flimsy, you actually find yourself checking again and again if the fucking TINY LITTLE PIN IS IN THE HOLE PROPERLY AND SEATED TO PROVIDE JUICE.

Yes, sexual reference intended.

Once the thing is seated, or feels seated, it wiggles and feels like shit.

ffs.

Fucking FAIL.

Oh, and remember how IMPORTANT it is to have an SD memory card slot? It's what's so LACKING in the iPad?

Well, the Xoom (and other Android tablets) uses a MICRO SD CARD.

omfg

Who the fuck is going to have a MICRO SD CARD?

Do laptops even support MICRO SD CARDS at this point?

omfg

omfg

I forgot to mention that the menu - which is always at the bottom of the screen on Android - actually has the Google version of a SYSTEM TRAY.

omfg.

More more yay!

So, in two words, can you summarise Xoom/Android, Loops? (If you MUST use more than two words, one of them has to be 'unadulterated')

Okay, okay. Here goes:

PURE unadulterated SHIT

I mean, I had tinkered around briefly with Android tablets at Best Buy and whatnot for like 5sec or so.

I Honest to God thought "Okay, it's just a different approach like Windows is to the MacOS."

That's the problem. It's a different approach. EXACTLY like Windows is to the MacOS.

Oh shit, forgot my main point from the above post....

I'm really just stunned that THIS is the mighty Android. I'm still just like WTF?

Seriously? This is all you got, Google?

omfg.

I'll tell you this right now:

If Apple fanboy dickheads like ME actually knew how WRETCHED Android truly is - got up close and personal with it like I have - they'd line up a full week earlier than what they already do to get the latest Apple iOS goodness product.

I hate Apple, and I have never used Android in any way, shape or form, nor have I seen an actual Android device.

Yet, I can confirm that Android is pure shit.

The whole design was wrong from the beginning.

Google need to toss that shit in the bin and rewrite it.

^ +1...

I fuckin hate that little green robot too.

Not even an android is it?

...Should have used Ash from the Nostromo, much better android. Could have used the bit where he's got noodles and chicken soup coming out of his stomach as the logo.
