Goodbye Android and good riddance!

I promise you it's not flame bait (except in the sense that my Nexus 7 will go up in flames). I'm just not intimidated by the Android apologists and I speak my mind freely.
My opinion about the Android is not political. I don't care who puts out a product, Microsoft, Google, or Apple, as long as it's a good product. In my view, Android is a lousy product compared to iOS and possibly Microsoft.
One day I became so frustrated with my Nexus 7 that I told my wife that I felt like setting the thing on fire. I had spent far too much time trying to get it to work right and I was fed up. That's when I decided to actually set fire to it. One less Nexus 7 in this world is a good thing.
You do have an unusual affinity towards fire/flames.
You want to burn, kill, murder, molest the N7 - got for it. Nobody is stopping you. Do whatever you want, it's your device.
My question is why are you telling this to us? You don't like device, so what? Why such a endless rant about fire and flames in every post. You dislike something, it's your choice. But what are you doing here? Go burn the N7 and go outside and get some fresh air.
You are an irritating person. Talk to your wife properly and ask her how she feels about you. Your attitude is disgusting.
I totally support your right to have your position, but do not share it. I find the expositions about operating systems somewhat like theological argumentation. Everyone is right in their own head. So far as everyone's head is concerned, as long as it is their's, I am happy
i have an idea
don't set it on fire! send it to me in korea so i can bury it with the drones of terrible android devices here.
i'm kidding. i actually want to give it a spin, despite my hatred for the ICS HP Touchpad i got rid of. i actually spent the better half of this morning trying to figure out the cheapest way to get one sent here. you've solved my problem and i've solved yours!

I think a lot of it is what you mentioned- the customisability of widgets, launchers, having the file system accessible etc.
Plus, I think some Android fans feel like they're sticking it to the man by siding with an open-source OS, over Apple's more restrictive models, or they simply don't like iOS or Apple. As I mentioned though, if you don't like iOS devices, Windows 8 devices are now available and don't suffer from the same performance issues that Android devices have- you don't have to buy an Android if you don't go with Apple!
What I don't get (like you were saying) is why there are Android apologists- the ones who get heated if you suggest there's something lacking in Android's performance. I work with one and was talking about it with him at lunch today, he was getting quite upset at the idea of lag being in Jelly Bean and wouldn't accept that I'd been having issues with my Nexus 7. Why? I'm quite happy to admit that iOS is incredibly limited and has awful maps, despite owning a new iPhone 5. It does, however, nail the basics (using it to place bets on the go is awesome, it's so responsive), which Android doesn't.
What? Why on Earth would you design a touch-based device to not respond to touch?

Who knows. I don't get fanatics for any platform, specially those that get upset over criticisms towards a brand. I absolutely prefer Android based systems to iOS but Android has its own problems just like all brands.
But you are anti Apple, I have seen your replies many times, so how can you berate somebody just because they do not confirm to your viewpoint? Trying to make sure everybody agrees with your point of view is extremism, I have the Galaxy S3 and Iphone 5, I gave the Galaxy s3 to my dad as I have dyslexia and IOS is much smoother for me to use. When I told an S3 user on youtube that I had an Iphone 5 he threatened me! I have used both phones extensively, not like most people who berate either product and have not owned both of them. I respect your views but extremism and threats will drive me to buy products from a company with sane fans. Good day to you.
