Android is becoming a monopoly and that could be a problem

[Fudzy]

They do. You just root, not so?

Well that's what I did but it comes with risk with the clueless support staff if there is a problem and you can't restore it and clear the KNOX before sending it in.

So im guessing MS Windows is also a monopoly?

Yes, and they paid the price:

Google is also only one of the American countries that have run afoul of stricter European policies about antitrust, privacy, and work practices: Microsoft, perhaps Google's biggest critic, was fined hundreds of millions of dollars for monopolistic practices in 2013.

People love them, but don't know how to hate them. People will complain about privacy issues, but in the very same sentence recommend Gmail to someone else. People applause their stance on Net Neutrality, yet Google is bypassing everything behind the initiative on Google Fibre. The very same thing can be said in regard with the Google search engine.

You can ask anyone who the people behind Apple/MS is or was, how many people know the Google structure? Google is literally Becoming SkyNet. This is no conspiracy, they are the best marketers.

I fail to see the problem. Ios should be abolished, and who cares what happens to Windows mobile

The irony of this post.

 

[Hemi300c]

Yes and Apple should sue them........

 

[Ecco]

Remember Nokia?

 

[JerryMungo]

It's a result of their open and inclusive model. It has every reason to succeed.
Who remembers symbian and trying to join the developers club back in the day?
Google have done what Nokia refused to.

No one complains that Apple has the monopoly on Apple products, with their closed off OS and hardware production. No one complains that they cannot build a phone or tablet based on Apple's OS.

Lol. That's like saying BMW has a monopoly on BMW's......
