#2Click bait. I think Android is doing fine, Google seems to be on a great path with N and a more solid OS to use daily than my iOS device currently (but I'm sure apple has some tricks coming)
Also, they didn't downplay tablet features in N, they added stuff like split screen which is a HUGE improvement.
Ahh modern journalism. You'll never believe what he typed! Click the headline to find out... ;)

#4The headline is pretty click-baity, the article outlines that Android OEMs are struggling and going the way of the PC OEMs a decade ago.
While this is true, there are still PC OEMs now, and there is no evidence of the Android ecosystem collapsing (besides of a claim in the article that people rather want iPhones running Android).

#5Disagree. Argument is every vendor is racing to the bottom and vendors are getting squeezed out. Fine. Race-to-bottom didn't seem to hurt the PC industry. Plus, cheap Android phones in the developing world.
(Agree that it's clickbait.)

#6The ammount of shilling is just riddiculous. I'm triggered.
There are so many things wrong with iPhones that even if it was given to me for free I would just get rid of it.
Sure, Android is kinda crappy sometimes, but what isn't right now?
And the PC wasteland? 300 million PCs sold in 2015. THE END IS NIGH!

A great step to catch up with desktops from two decades ago. Good job, Google!

#8Eh, OK, I'll be the contrarian here and side with the article. The headline is definitely clickbaity however the article, while devoid of strong evidence is basically true.
Nexus phones are supposed to be the gold standard of android, and yet, I've never been satisfied with any Nexus device (I've had 3x HTC G1s, 1x Nexus one, 2x Nexus S, 2x Galaxy Nexus, 4x Nexus 4, 4x Nexus 5, 2x Nexus 6, and no 6P so far) due to battery life issues, camera issues, operating system issues (most Android versions have felt like a beta usually right up until the next version is released) compatibility issues with carrier (things like - no visual voicemail, no VoLTE) issues with accessories (my August smart lock & Kinsa thermometer barely work on android for example, but work perfectly on iPhone), performance issues (the nexus 6 is slowest phone I've ever used, with a custom kernel and encryption turned off) with all that said, they're still better than any of the non nexus phones I've used.
I believe that OEM are simply not incentivized to build good devices. The OS is "free" the hardware is made for rock bottom prices in China, few want to spend $600+ on a device with few benefits over a $200 device - how can anyone expect OEMs to put time and effort into a device with razor thin margins in a market that's already saturated?

Race to the bottom absolutely screwed the PC industry. It's why laptops stagnated so heavily for years.

#10Extremely biased, awfully researched post. If you look at his recent stories he is on an apple hype train. Nothing against apple, but this guy has blurred and biased judgment.
