Why Wont AT&T Set Android Free

AT&T, being the last major cellphone firm to supply an Android device has constantly put itself within the highlight for questioning. What kind of questioning do you ask? How about "Hey, why don't you allow things as they're?" and even "In case your going to do something, why cant you just do it properly?" Now im fairly certain that there are die hard Android fans out there wondering why AT&T cripples its Android devices...

But just because something doesn't do what you want doesn't mean it's crippled.

AT&T currently doesn't enable for its Android customers to install third party applications. How is this often carried out? Within the settings of any (other than AT&T's) Android handsets, the consumer has the choice for permitting or disallowing the telephone from accepting any utility from outside of the official Android Market or in other words, third party applications.

When the Motorola Backflip first arrived on AT&T's scene, Android fan boys had been happy sufficient that AT&T finally accepted Android, even if it did limit its capacities. Nevertheless, the more AT&T releases new Android handsets is the much less these fan boys become OK with the "limitations."

The newest telephone that caused this stir is the HTC Aria. That is AT&T's first high finish Android smartphone. Resembling a mini HTC Incredible.

However critically though... how much does it matter?

Not much. Most individuals who buy an Android handset are much less prone to even know how to set up a 3rd social gathering app, a lot much less have the need to do so.

The only limitation I could see as posing a risk to the Android experience on AT&T is the truth that you might be unable to take away the AT&T bloatware applications. Both way, I've thought up attainable reasons to why AT&T will not set Android "free."

Here they are:

1. To 'defend' its users- Safety is all the time one thing to be involved with. Its fairly attainable that AT&T would slightly avoid any doable threat.

2. They have Apple- Its no secret, Google and Apple are at a cellular OS war. I would not be too stunned if AT&T and Apple made an settlement in opposition to permitting a full blown Android handset to its line up. We might additionally exclude Apple from this and say that AT&T just needs to be 'faithful' to Apple. I mean Apple isnt THAT evil... is it?

At the finish of the day it's either you just like the phone or you don't and switch carriers. In case your contract is not stopping you then dont complain, and even when it is... we dont want to hear your complains both way. Just wait it out.

And remember, in a world that gives you freedom.... oh wait, AT&T screwed that up.
