Then my weirdo brother stopped by my house and dropped off a Nexus 7 while he went travelling. Android's alright, but I certainly don't think it's better than iOS. I really don't love the experience. It's about the same, and a little more ugly. And I saw the reality of the "openness" that's always being flaunted, when it asked me which program I wanted to open a PDF with. Like, just open the fucking PDF! I think I prefer mobile platforms as being like consumer electronics devices/game consoles, rather than computers which ask me to set everything up.
I'm open to the idea that the Nexus 7 is not representative of Android phones... but if it is, I no longer think the grass is any greener on the other side.
But I know a lot of droid envy is about the awesome cutting edge phone hardware, which I do get.
