This is a message to all other Android Developers, bloggers, or interest groups. Unfortunately, it is rather evident that, for a myriad of reasons, Android as an OS simply isn't on the same level as the iPhone in what it offers, what it can do, how it runs, etc. etc. As a full supporter of most everything Google endeavors to take on, I am gleeful to see Android, an open source competitor challenging the iPhone. Google has brilliant engineers, a plethora of resources, and the flexibility to test and experiment wacky ideas that become the technological standard of tomorrow. So why isn't Android commensurate to the iPhone? My opinion is that it's because Google doesn't make any, even a small stream, of revenue from Android, which is a major disincentive and makes it economically infeasible and to pour resources into it to make it the best and most competitive possible OS it can be. While I hope Google addresses this issue in the future, we need to make it easy for the current Google engineers to create a competitive project, and that means, in the true spirit of open source, we must contribute. So developers, educated Android savvy technological wizards, come together, and below post everything you would want to see in an Android update to both put Android on par with the iPhone, and push it beyond. Put ideas that well up on the brink of your imagination below, think up the next big idea, the brilliant feature that'll make Android the unparalleled smart phone champion. Once Android is more popular, better phones will be made for it, it'll have more developers, and Google will invest more money in it, but we need to give it that first push. Below, use our collective wisdom and create a single thread that will document all the features, all the tools, the code libraries, etc. etc. that we want to see in Android, and when our thread gets large enough, Google won't be able to help but notice, and address our needs, our desires, and our demands!
