Why does everyone bum it so much?

Because it isn't locked down by a company who doesn't like you using your device for what YOU want to use it for.

I can customise my Android phone however much I like, it's like jailbreaking iOS but 100x better with an almost unrestricted Application Market.

Oh, did I mention, "It just works"?

Because if you are the technical minded you can do all kinds of hacks and tricks, basically anything you like. Unlike the iPhone of course but lets not create a war here.

I just think Android is the way forward. Hence why my new handset coming tomorrow is an Android one.

People seem to think that Apple are a bunch of fascists that lock down their device for fun. Their approval process is a lot more transparent than it was and they accept almost all applications the first time around and when they reject them it IS with valid reason. This prevents the spread of viruses on the iPhone, I can download any app off of the Appstore knowing I'm completely safe and that it will run on my hardware for sure. One of the main criticisms of Apple that people have on here is in their updates and that they dropped the iPhone 2G. All I can say to that is that Android 2.2 is coming out almost exclusively to devices that have been released this year. Apple drops a 3 year old device and Android fans get angry but when a device thats 8 Months old is dropped they don't care.

Not saying I don't like Andriod don't get me wrong but it seems to be like another iPhone, It's come about way to quickly.

I have downloaded hundreds of androids apps and never had a virus.

EDIT: Way to quickly? The difference is, where Android has got is far further than the iPhone.

I think he means potentially you can get a virus, whereas with the iPhone Apple rescrits apps therefore you can't get any sort of virus's unless you jailbreak.

So he is bumming Apple, because of the POTENTIAL of getting a virus is gone. Millions of people still use windows, you can get viruses on that. (And some of osx )
