Android is one of the most open systems I've ever seen. What makes Android great is it's literally designed from the ground up to be customised in a very powerful way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you step back and take a holistic look, I think any reasonable person would say Android is innovating at a pretty fast pace and getting it to users.
Android is often given as a free replacement for a feature phone, and the experience isn't as good as an iPhone.
Android was intended to be very customizable. And we welcome innovations.
Android's user-space is so different from stock Linux, you can easily say that Android is not in any way a Linux system, except for the kernel.
Android was built to be very, very secure.
I don't think anyone is going to say great things about being a native developer on Android.
Android is very different from the GNU/Linux operating system because it contains very little of GNU. Indeed, just about the only component in common between Android and GNU/Linux is Linux, the kernel.
The interesting thing about Android's design is how little we modified the kernel.
Obviously, you will always see more malware targeting Android because Android is used more than any smartphone platform by a pretty substantial difference.
We think Android is very, very fragmented, and becoming more fragmented by the day. And as you know, Apple strives for the integrated model so that the user isn't forced to be the systems integrator.
