Re: Android stats

Have you read the latest on how AT&T is treating those of us hanging onto our "unlimited" plans? (I do the same thing) I've seen demonstrations of how they throttle your connection once you exceed about 2GB per month. You pay as much as someone with a 3GB plan, but beyond 2.1GB or so, you get rough

Re: Android stats

It's just my assumption, but I would think that the *vast* majority of Android users leave in place whatever is on their device. It takes some geek-ish effort to root, and most people want nothing to do with that. On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 11:14 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: > Very true, and I don't see

I rooted my iPhone ONLY because I could tether it without having to pay YET AGAIN for the unlimited data I was grandfathered into. Other than that, I have advised against it, mainly because there was a possibility of bricking it (at one time) and also because it voided the warranty for iPhones/i

Re: Android stats

Point taken. But it should also be mentioned that Apple got rid of it's BSD underpinnings a few years and couple three OS versions back, and is now running pure Unix (or so I am led to believe). At the time, Apple was not in much of a position to make a real choice in the matter. Their own attem

Re: Android stats

erm... not my experience with Apple at all! If you don't want updates, you can tell Software Updates to not check! In fact even if it DOES check, you ALWAYS have to enter a user and password to install them. In fact, one of my great problems I have around here is how to get users with laptops ru

Re: Android stats

My stats are showing just over 60% of my app users are on Gingerbread, with the rest spread between everything else. The paid apps tend to be more weighted towards the later versions, and the free apps towards the earlier ones, maybe the people with the newer phones are more willing to pay f

Re: Android stats

It is apparently not illegal to "jailbreak" or root an iPhone either, according to fairly recent court decisions. However, rooting a device CAN void a warranty, so be advised. And there are lots of places in the world where you don't have to do anything technically illegal to be thrown in jail,

Wouldn't it be great if the Android market had one large agency powerful enough to force the cell companies to keep the devices updated? That way people would be able to just expect that the latest and greatest were available to them. They would have to be able to control the hardware too of cou

Unfortunately, here in Brazil there are a lot of Android 2.1 devices. They are still popular because they are extremely cheap. Brazilian cheap is not the same as U.S. or Europe cheap. For example the iPhone 4 here costs 1000 USD with a contract, I don't want to think what it would cost without a c
