Wow, talk about being thrown under the bus.

Funny how Android before the iPhone looked like Blackberry OS.

Mmmmm, fragmentation.

Jesus.

My ass.

The joy of Android.

Look who's back.

Moneyquote: "And secondly, as I mentioned on Twitter, our Android apps aren't making money. A few people took offense to the bluntness of this statement, so I'll clarify in more delicate terms. There's a big difference between generating revenue, and "making money" - It's not that they haven't generated income, but that income is offset by the additional support costs the platform has demanded. Where did your dollar go? We spent about 20% of our total man-hours last year dealing with Android in one way or another - porting, platform specific bug fixes, customer service, etc. I would have preferred spending that time on more content for you, but instead I was thanklessly modifying shaders and texture formats to work on different GPUs, or pushing out patches to support new devices without crashing, or walking someone through how to fix an installation that wouldn't go through. We spent thousands on various test hardware. These are the unsung necessities of offering our apps on Android. Meanwhile, Android sales amounted to around 5% of our revenue for the year, and continues to shrink. Needless to say, this ratio is unsustainable."

This is what happens when you launch an app ecosystem with zero curation. Play on, Google.

Moneyquote: "Google warned several developers in recent months that if they continued to use other payment methods - such as PayPal, Zong and Boku - their apps would be removed from Android Market, now known as Google Play, according to developers, executives and investors in mobile gaming and payment sectors."

Android is open.

Just a taste of the happiness known as Android.

It's tough to beat Apple's supply chain management.

It's pretty hard when you don't have the carriers behind you, yes?

Moneyquote: "In 2011, we saw unprecedented growth of mobile malware attacks with a 155 percent increase across all platforms. Most noteworthy was the dramatic growth in Android Malware from roughly 400 samples in June to over 13,000 samples by the end of 2011. This amounts to a cumulative increase of 3,325 percent."

Wait a minute. I thought Android was open?

I wonder what happens when flash is taken into account.

Stay classy, Android.

This is why Android is so great. It allows my mobile carrier to add so much extra value!

Moneyquote: "People who enjoy “managing” their phone might enjoy “managing” their Android smartphone. Those folks will probably forget how much fun “managing” a smartphone was after they’ve used Windows Phone for a while. Instead they’ll see how much fun it is to “use” a smartphone."

It's a start.
