That fragmentation bit is BS. None of the top 4 mobile OSes have 100% of the user base using the latest version, yet Android is the only one who gets crap for it.
Im pretty sure Android gets crap because for the longest time the majority of their figures were based of $50 Chinese pieces of **** running android 2-2.2...and lets face it, the numbers are high because of the Chinese masses contributing to the very open (read hackable) mobile OS...
The platform is already independently reviewed as being the most malware ridden platform available and from a developer point of view even though it has a massive piece of the market share, most developers are making significantly less thaan they do on iOS....
You know as well as everyone else that until droid 4.1 the lag and stutter and performance was ridiculously bad....and even more recently Google has eye balled the likes of Acer for daring to release a Chinese version of what was originally Android basically threatening to cut them off if they didn't stop releasing...
Sure Samsung and HTC have done a very excellent job with their flagship phones but in reality its all because they wanted to get a toe into the mobile OS market and this was the most open platform i.e. open source (kinda) that they could get in and hack around with because tha laternative to this and prior to them getting on board with Android they had shithouse Symbian type crap with a different skin every phone that was released and NO APPS...
I think, generally speaking of course, that these are some of the reasons droid gets cained....
its also funny to note that as soon as Apple mauled Samsung Google quietly ran over to Acer and began stroking them?? and how they really really really don't like Amazon kindle even though that's based on droid as well....kinda crazy don't ya think???
