Android sucked visually, now it sucks less (but still)

Just some thoughts on the eve of iOS6/iPhone 5 announcement. Went back to my iPhone after a month of Jelly Bean for both aesthethic reasons and the general bad execution of the OS. And No, I don’t think Apple has the only right way. In fact I think WinPho8 is the best looking mobile OS on the market right now.

Jelly Bean, or 4.1 is supposedly the best looking Android out there. Sure they fixed a few things, so it doesn’t look completely like an iOS rip-off. Now it looks like a mix of ideas from Microsoft and Apple. Cool, thin fonts on solids, combined with some refined icons apparently means google is now borrowing ideas from a wider array of companies. At least that’s good, cause it might not be confused with iOS that easily if it steals some bits from MS and Web OS too.

Still it’s buggy, and the openness is causing lots of malware and crapware to spread. After using a Jelly Bean phone for a while now I realized how much it still sucks, after Gingerbread. Hopefully WinPho8 will take the lead away from it.
