Jacque,

Do you have any stats for that, or is it anecdotal/instinct? I work in a roomfull of geeks, but I just asked the two on my table who have Android phones, and neither of them had rooted/jailbroke/whatever... And thinking of my friends who have Android phones, most are completely non-technical and it would never occur to them to do anything like that.

Maybe my milieu is different from yours; or maybe even the situation on tablets is different from that on phones - I don't know anybody except me with an Android tablet - but I'm not sure why it should be.

Again, this looks like a case where the Kindle Fire could be a special case, because Amazon, like Apple, seem set to just push out updates with little user intervention or control. But in the rest of the tabletverse, I don't see any reason to think the fragmentation won't continue. But again that's just based on extremely limited personal experience, so if you had some actual data I'd be interested.

Ben
