On: What Makes Android Revolutionary

[happyman]

I'm from one of the poorest countries. I could buy my first smart-phone because of the availability of cheaper Android phones. I'm bit of geek because of the openness of Android, at least I'm aware of what software runs inside my phone. I expressed my true sentiments and my post was down voted. What a irony!

I didn't downvote you, but I might imagine it's because your post didn't contribute to the conversation.

"The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: both civil and substantial.

The test for substance is a lot like it is for links. Does your comment teach us anything?"

I'm also from a poor country, and an Android phone was my first true smarthphone (this Christmas :) ).
