re: "Unfortunately Google killed that dream with Android"

I am curious why you think that since Android seems a little more open than iOS?

I mostly run Linux (one Mac laptop, 3 Linux laptops) and I do get that owning your own hardware, using open source software, and prefering to use your own domain and web site for your business and general web presense is the way to go. I think that we are in agreement.

That said if I am wasting some time reading Twitter using the default web browser on my Android phone, that seems like the same experience using a web browser on my laptop.
