You are being unfair. "Anything else" could include newer versions of Windows.
Just re-read the posts. I agree. I apologize!

It is the same thing that happens in the PC space. Since Microsoft doesn't make hardware they or third parties must write drivers and support everything that people put out there. Where OS X only needs to support the devices that Apple creates. The difference is that Windows is such an entrenched platform that the third parties are willing to step up to the plate and write the drivers for the PC. Now the question is…
Android has all the drivers it needs. The real difference is that Android systems are locked down in ways more annoying to circumvent than your average Windows OEM junkware install. It is easy to uninstall junkware on Windows, and to pop in a CD to upgrade or crossgrade the OS.

I'd never consider installing a version of Windows an upgrade ;-) Unless it's installing XP over Vista.

The other point is that iOS is chockfull of crapware, though for some reason people ignore crapware if it comes straight from Apple. iOS 5 even prevents you from hiding some of the crap inside folders, I noticed this with the Newsstand app.
Pre-installed Apple applications are a whole different league from, for example, a pre-loaded unremovable trailer video for Confessions of a Shopaholic , which actually came on the last phone I had before the 3GS.
I remember apps being rejected based on replicating functionality that already existed in Apple-branded apps. Is this still common?

that's choosing the lesser of two evils. my nexus one shows as green, yes, i have all the latest software, but no fix yet for the touchscreen issue. That alone would make the nexus one RED since launch on that table for me, as this hints to zero support. try to use your touch screen for 10min while the device is charging from an empty battery (some other use cases also trigger the bug, but this is 100% reproductible)
have you tried using a different charger? Usually that helps.
the car charger+gps app is in fact the worst case, as it will not need touch screen usage to happen. and will happen very fast and all the time. so basically, using the gps for more then 20min, i know i will have to: press power button to turn screen off, press it again to turn screen on, type PIN, press the damn gps button i needed to press 2min ago.
