Why the Android Platform is Failing

Spot on. I love the features and technology in my Android phone, but its a giant mess. I basically have to reboot it every few days to maintain functionality. The stuff that I have on it works decently, but I limit my apps to a music player, a ssh app, a vnc/rdesktop app and facebook. I am a much more conservative consumer of apps than most, and if I have to deal with this BS, I'm sure other users are constantly facepalming. If I were to make a scurrilous comparason, Google set out to make a Linux phone and ended up with a Windows 3.0 phone.

What I'm saying is - Apple, please make a phone with a real keyboard, don't make me use a MS phone.

1 million phones per DAY, 365 million per year - more than Microsoft activates new PC's with Windows in the same time, and it's failing?

The upgrade process is a mess, but it certainly shows no signs as "failing" in the market.
