Completely agree. Google thinks because android is gobbling up the market in big market graphs that they’re doing good, but most people I talk with who buy cheap android devices(the majority) say they hate android and want to switch to Apple. But you ask me or some of my colleagues who use the vanilla android experience and high quality devices and they’ll say they love the experience.

Google is going to lose their market share if they don’t improve the quality of the final product, which is too loosely controlled right now. I know we all want Android to remain “open”, but when it becomes so open that the end users have a bad experience and jump ship, it’s time to tighten the belt and make sure people are happy with their device and plan to continue purchasing android devices in the future.

The Nexus “experiment” proves that people are willing to adopt a vanilla experience. There should only be vanilla android devices, the manufacturers can easily differentiate themselves by their phone design and the quality of their devices. This would be a HUGE step in the right direction. All Android phones would be on the same version, it would create a unity between the the users and allow for quicker updates/bug fixes.

Hopefully they realize this before it’s too late and the majority hop on the Apple bandwagon, because in the end, the better quality product always wins and as soon as the Iphone gets 4G it will be the highest quality product.

Love that last paragraph….IMO a streamlined media UI is needed ASAP if they want it to catch on with the masses (not just us “advanced/flashaholic” users) & Duarte is the perfect cat to get the media UI/UX to that level, IF, as you said, they just let him do his thing.

Sorry.. My gnex hasn’t updated that yet. Play Books sounds more like something handed out at spring training.

This is all a product of Apple. The music, TV, book, and movie industries all got a bad taste in their mouth after Itunes ate into CD and DVD sales. They felt captive to Steve Jobs and then to Amazon. They learned from that and are HUGELY gun-shy about getting into it again.
Google needs to tap in to their $$$ warchest and make it worth their while, while also being competitive. Rope them into the largest user base (android phones) in smartphones and other eventual media players, then they can comeback and renegotiate after that.
The industry excuse now is DRM. Well, DRM got fixed with 2.3.3. They’re just dragging their feet right now and Google is not motivating them to come back to the table.

I think you hit the nail on the head with your CAPPED BUY. This to me is a major fail of Android/Google/Play whatever when compared to Apple/iTunes. I don’t want to rent movies. I don’t want to stream movies. I want to buy movies for my Android tablet that I can download to my 32gb MicroSD and watch over and over at my leisure. I already have over 20 movies from Digital Copy Editions that came with BluRays that I can currently only play on my tiny iPod Nano that was given to me as a gift. Where the hell are my Digital Copy Editions for my 2 Android tablets?
