It's target? Ugly Android apps, claiming they're arguments for a closed system (read: iOS is better because it's prettier-or, well, unified)."</em></p><p><img height="303" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/adt/auto/1301675111.usr206.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" width="540" /></p><p>Well, there you have it. Pretty much answers it for me. Android should be a closed system because users do stupid things to their home screen. Yep, case closed. You convinced me. Close it up Google. No more options or customization for us users with no sense of design. I mean, really..
