I really want to like Android but...?
Q. ..there are a few things holding me back and I wondered if there was a work around/fix for my gripes.
I owned a HTC Desire for a while after owning an iPhone 3g, I'm a big fan of iOS and still keeps my games on apps on a 2nd iPod touch, although it also leaves a lot to be desired. Apples vertically integrated controlled method works to an extent, but they are becoming far to perfectionist, limiting features until its done the Apple way. If only Android & Apple could have some drunken love child. Android has the features but as always with google products, if feels like it was some geeks side project still in beta (it usually is). Don't get me wrong, I use google products and services every day and love them (gmail, youtube, reader etc) but they seem to be less polished then iOS applications and software.
I'm currently eying a Windows series 7 phone, but I'm holding off til Nokia releases a flag ship model. They seem to have found a nice middle ground between iOS and Android (controlled to avoid fragmentation but not too controlled as to give the features their geek users want, apple seem to avoid this to keep the simplicity in mind and dumb it down for technophobes) but until Microsoft manage to catch up in the features and Apps area I need something to keep me busy. Microsoft already has the fluid OS and developer support behind it, and working with Nokia ensures hardware acceleration. I'm also geeking over their new iOS apps.
Getting to the point, my gripe with Android its app management, many users were using task killers to stop unwanted applications from running in the background, taking up cache and battery. The arrival of 2.2 froyo, provided better system management and automatically kills idle apps when the phone needs it. However I wish Android had a system closer to the Windows, which is what i hoped they were originally going for. Unlike iOS with app freezing and switching, android has "full multi-tasking" meaning apps can run fully as they would when using them but in the background which is great, but its seems like Google has set to provide official support to fight against start up programs. When i owned a HTC Desire and received the 2.2 update, I deleted the task manager, and let Android do its thing, yet through the day the phone would start to lag under the pressure, I checked to see what apps were running and apps like sky news, the weather, gmail and HTC's preinstalled apps were running automatically, i cleared the cache and closed the app, but again it would happen through the day, even when not using the app for days on end, it would still start up automatically. I wonder if google are going to improve on this and let the users disable the apps processes altogether, when closed it should stay closed, similar to Windows. On Windows i use an app called 'CCleaner' which does a bevy of tricks, but one of its most helpful tools is to see what startup processes begin when you first turn on your computer. Disable these improves windows significantly in load up time and useability. One of the main offenders of these by the way is Messenger, iTunes and Google updater.
I have a few other gripes with Android too but nothing significant that would hold me back from buying it (like skins, fragmentation and touch screen accuracy- noticeably better on iOS and WP7). Preferably I'll go for a Galaxy tab without the Galaxy (Stock android 4-5 inch bedside device)
What are your thoughts, do you know if Google will address this issue, it seems like Google opted for the independent management with android to help less techie users, yet anyone who owns a computer knows how to open and close apps, and doesn't expect them to open again when closed.
