Android

what went wrong?

Java Virtual Machine

lack of centralized updates

this

>Letting phone manufacturers preload whatever the fuck they want on the phone.
>Java + DVM

Fragmentation

shitty app store

If I could have a phone OS that has
>Default quality of iOS (just werks)
>Extensibility of android
>Developer infrastructure of apple
>Quality of Apple's app store
>Android's ability to use alternate app repositories
>Android's embracing of standards (e.g. microUSB)
>Apple's phone update process
I'd be pretty happy

still better than iOS

just get an iPhone

their latest phone is an abomination

Ultimately this.

nope, it's actually doing quite well

i meant the one without 3.5mm

So, you are looking to jailbreak an iPhone?

There isn't one

>i meant the one without 3.5mm
You're not only obvious to the fact that it hasen't been released yet, but you also don't know what it's called.

And they call Applel fags the plebs...

Yes, but in a way that would be officially supported by the developers. Jailbreaking also won't let me use a microUSB charger.

oblivious*

>obvious

Of course I don't know what it's called. Everything went to shit after 5.

Java and the lack of glibc.

sounds like you're gay

>went from keyboarded phones to touchscreen only
>went from real back/home/menu buttons to capacitive
>went from capacitive to onscreen
>all phones became tablets

Sure they're all hardware issues when we're discussing software but with shit hardware, good software's not really that good anymore.

a more appropriate question would be: what went right?

cost

Google

It costs $0.

That's about all that went right.

Nothing. Why?

Moto Z

Doesn't run most Linux software.

With phone nowadays having 6GB RAM, i really like to use it as a notebook substitute.

Plug monitor, keyboard, mouse and run whatever linux desktop software.
Maximum comfy.

this

We were supposed to have convergence by now. What happened to Ubuntu touch and KDE Plasma mobile?

I'm losing hope anons

>linux desktop software

just remote into a linux box and use it that way

How can you run a Linux/Unix kernel on ARM without losing the capabilities of existing distros?

Serious question.

Built from Linux; yet it can do less than Linux.

Free versions.

Just see raspberry pi, runs at 100%
