Google taking the same Microsoft’s road

BGR:

A new Android device is released almost every month from major manufacturers, often leaving consumers with severe cases of buyer’s remorse. Some manufacturers have at least promised to slow down when it comes to releasing smartphones in the future, but mobile technology advances too quickly to sit idle for very long.

Lastly, each carrier and manufacturer is looking to out-do the competition. Rather than marketing devices and services with competitive pricing, these companies fill handsets with unnecessary bloatware and custom user interface skins. The skins are supposed to “enhance” a user’s experience but more often then not, they lead to incompatibilities, error messages, forced closures, poor battery performance and lag.

Does this sounds familiar? Remember Microsoft’s Windows? OEMs like Sony, DELL and HP release new computer models every other month with confusing names and overlapping features. On top of that they will slap you with a bunch of bloatware that you don’t really need and not to mention those ugly stickers. As to where Microsoft is heading now, will it soon befalls on Google?.

In the end, it is all about the whole user experience. Hardware and Software has to in full control by one party. Let’s hope that Google does learn from history. Buying Motorola Mobility is one good move. They should drop those OEM makers and make their own smartphones like Apple and gain back those user experience as it was intended do.
