Jail-breaking is fine for those of us who don't mind existing in a constant state of breakage, but for a business user this would never do. "Average" users are 99.998 percent of the buying public - we as developers have to remember that. All they want is for things to work.

What about the tons of junk that is in the apple store? The GUI in IOS runs smooth as it isn't really much of a GUI, all you can do it call up a app and then close it...true it has basic 'backgrounding in 4+ but essentialy there isn't much of a UI. One thing that Android has that IOS dosen't have is energetic development, it's constatly growing and evovling whereas IOS is steadly loosing momentem.
I'm not saying andriod is the best but that it is screaming foward in share and appeal don't just discredit it yet.
The Blackberry and Symbian based OS phones are true clunky nightmares yet they are what most average users use and have the biggest market share.
The 99.998% of buyers don't have a clue so it ok for them. Just glad that us Geeks can have things like jail break otherwise I would be going nuts.
