Really? I find my Android OS to be very stable......for a phone....lol. I don't think I want to have to call tech support and do a hard reset on my car in order to use it. I AM impressed with the Android OS. It seems to work great for everything I use it for and my Evo 4g has seen hard, daily abuse as my only internet connection(I use 20gigs a month on it) and has only needed reset twice in the last couple months. Otherwise it has been trouble free. I still don't think I would be comfortable trusting it with my life.
