I am using (and hating hating hating hating hating) Android. I've been watching for alternatives.

1. Cyanogen Mod: This inherits too many of Android's fatal flaws.

2. FirefoxOS: Oh well. (It's dead, Jim.)

3. Ubuntu Mobile: It's still alive, though small.

4. Windows Mobile: Not my thing.

I may head to a small-form-factor notepad. I really like the concept of a folio-format tablet + bluetooth keyboard, though nobody seems to be making a general 9-10" device. I prefer this to an integrated & hinged laptop, or a smartphone type device, especially in WiFi-only capabilities. The basic hardware of my device is acceptable. The OS, lockdown, user-hostility, surveillence, intentionally broken crap, and App store ecosystem dyfunction are irredeemable.
