That's weak! It seems that tablets aren't going to be as good as regular smartphones, in the sense of user customization.
whaaaat? really? that IS weak!
One of the best parts of Android was that it was open. Hopefully closing the source ends up being for the best.
I wonder how this will affect their stock.
Lol, so much for open source.
Hm, what a shame. If you're with open source, you should stick with the rules.
