android is the new windows
-ships with heavy multi-GB OS and preinstalled apps you don't want
- so widespread that it's difficult to find apps written for anything else (other than The Apple One)
- immediately has to download several GB of updates when you start the device the first time
- tries to lock down the device so that the stock OS is the only thing that can run on it
the only difference is, android is ostensibly open source, so barely anyone's bothered to write an OS that isn't android-based
@chr also the bluetooth stack sucks
