@linuxforhumanbeing Android is a much better experience on a smart phone than a tablet. I think this is why there are so many long-time Android fans who don't like Android on tablets. By the time Android on tablets matures enough to be solid, Windows on tablets will have eaten its lunch.
Eventually it's going to be Microsoft and Apple on tablets with Android/Linux running a very distant third, nibbling at a sub 1% share, just like in the desktop market. The reasons are OS fragmentation plus too many variations, just like Linux on desktops. Decades of Linux floundering below 1% share have proven that the mass market doesn't like that approach. Even Amazon reworked the UI before they would put Android on their Fire. In my mind, the Fire is the only reason Android will hold onto any significant market share once Windows hits tablets.
