Android - A Face Only An Engineer Could Love

31 05 2008

Ars has a great article up on the state of Google’s Android cell phone platform… and while the hype for it continues to build unabated, I think it looks like ass.

Clearly designed by the same folks that worked tirelessly to make Linux look and act like a Red Green duct tape abomination, looking at this video gave me a headache.

Just because to you can put every button, widget and effect on a single screen does not make it a good idea to do so. It’s going to take some creative hacking of this OS by the HTCs of the world to make this platform anything more than a geek diversion. I hope that happens in less time than it took Windows Mobile.

For now, anyone waiting for Android to steal iPhone’s thunder probably bought one of these instead of an iPod.

Yeah, I thought so.
